Q16-N & Q32-N

Q16 & Q32 Analog Video Router

The Q16-N and Q32-N are analog video routers.

Configuration: The modular design of the Q16-N and Q32-N router gives them a high degree of flexibility, allowing them to be easily configured in square or non-square sizes.

The Q16-N is housed in a 1RU frame. The input stage of the Q16-N is fixed at 16 while the output stage can be set to 4, 8 or 16. The Q16-N can be upgraded by returning the router to the local service center.

The Q32-N is housed in a 2RU frame. The Q32-N is available in three fixed sizes, 16x16, 32x16 and 32x32. The Q32-N can be upgraded by returning the router to the local service center.

Control: Both the Q16-N and the Q32-N router include, as standard, an internal Frame Controller module which supports a single Q-Link and Serial port on the rear of the router. The optional internal CI module can be fitted to the Q32-N to increase the number of Q-Link and Serial ports. This option is not available for the Q16-N.

The Q16-N and Q32-N have a number of control options, they are:

Local Control Panels: The CP-1600A-LP, can be fitted to the Q16-N. This option is not available for the Q32-N.

Passive Remote Control Panels: The CP-1601A-P and CP-1604-P passive remote control panels can be fitted to the Q16-N and Q32-N router via a PI-1604 or PI-1608 parallel to interface.

Remote Control Panel: Any panel(s) from the entire range of Quartz remote control panels can be used with the Q16-N and Q32-N router connected via Q-Link.

External third party control: The Q16-N and Q32-N router can be remotely controlled via an external third party control device, such as an automation system, when connected to the routers serial port.

Expansion: The output stage of the Q16-N can be expanded from 4 to 8 or 16. The input or output stage of the Q32-N can be expanded from 16 to 32.

In both cases the router needs to be returned to the local service center for the upgrade. They can not be expanded beyond their frame size.

Power Supply: The power supplies for the Q16-N and the Q32-N are internal. The 2RU Q32-N frame can be fitted with an optional redundant power supply with separate AC power inlet and alarm output. This option is not available for the Q16-N.

Features

Analog Video Terminated inputs for best possible signal performance DC restored inputs for composite signals ensures switching free from the picture disturbances often encountered in DC coupled only designs Vertical interval switching for clean switching, reverts to free running if no sync reference (video or pulse) with all levels of the same route switching in the same field

Frames can be stacked for parallel component analog video routers, or a single frame can be split to provide, for example, four separate 8x8 routers from a single 32x32 frame Operational Features Diagnostic monitoring of temperature and PSU status All modules are installed from the front for easy access for upgrades and maintenance, not possible with some alternative designs Built-in control system
