Q-1601, Q-1602 & Q-0802

HD or SD Video & Audio Routers

The Q-1601, Q-1602 and Q-0802 are compact broadcast quality monitoring routers for high definition, standard definition or analog video applications. The design can also incorporate a digital or analog audio layer within the same frame.

Configuration: The 1RU frame is available with 16 or 8 inputs and 1 or 2 outputs. It can be configured to accommodate single, mixed video or audio formats.

Control: There are a number of control options for the monitoring routers:

Remote Control Panel: Any panel(s) from the entire range of Quartz remote control panels can be used with the Monitoring router. They connect via Q-Link and requires the optional Frame Controller module to be fitted.

External third party control: The Monitoring router can be remotely controlled via an external third party control device, such as an automation system, when connected to the routers serial port. The optional Frame Controller module must be fitted.

Expansion: For solutions requiring more than 16 inputs, multiple Monitoring routers can be cascaded together building in to a system with over 256 inputs. Cascading the Q-1601 provides a single output while the Q-1602 provides two outputs. The optional Frame Controller module must be fitted to the master router in a cascaded system.

Power Supply: The Monitoring router is available as standard with an external power supply. An optional redundant power supply can also be fitted. A single non-redundant internal power supply can be fitted to the Monitoring router if required.

Features

Digital Video (HD / SD)
Terminating inputs with automatic cable equalization on each input
Reclocking outputs with fully automatic sample rate selection supporting:
- HD - 1.485 and 1.485/1.001Gb/s sample rates (SMPTE 292M)
- SD - 143, 177, 270 and 360Mb/s sample rates (SMPTE 259M)
Vertical interval switching for clean switching. Reverts to free running if the reference is not connected
Support of Bi-level syncs (PAL/NTSC) for SD and Bi-level and Tri-level syncs for HD
Tri-level sync circuit auto-detects the HD standard
Transparent to high definition and standard definition signals carrying embedded audio
Compatible with ASI transport streams, such as MPEG video
Automatic standards selection for complete standards independence
Analog Video
Terminating D.C. coupled inputs, suitable for composite and component signals
Vertical interval switching for clean switching. Reverts to free running if a signal is not present on Input 1
