ProAVNews: Extron Link Multiple Processors to Easily Create Large Videowall Systems

Introducing Quantum® Expansion IN and Quantum Expansion OUT cards that simplify the design, integration, and operation of large videowalls. The cards link multiple Quantum Ultra frames together, extending the high-speed HyperLane® bus between processors. Once configured, the processors operate as a single system with a common, shared bus. This makes each input source available to all video outputs. Quantum Ultra outputs are genlocked across all frames, maintaining image synchronization and eliminating video tearing. Integrating Quantum Ultra processors configured with Quantum Expansion cards provides flexible system design for large videowalls without the need for front-end switching or distribution amplifiers.

• Quantum Ultra provides scalable 4K/60 videowall processing for display systems of any size
• Expansion cards link multiple Quantum Ultra videowall processors together to form a single large system
• Create videowalls using up to five processors for up to a total of 168 inputs/outputs
• Three fiber optic cables extend the high-speed HyperLane bus between each expansion card pair
• Uncompressed data link between expansion cards retains critical image quality
• Eliminates the need for front-end switching and distribution of sources across multiple processors
