Q16-S & Q32-S
SD Video & Embedded Audio Routers
The Q16-S and Q32-S series are standard definition digital video and embedded audio routers.
Configuration: The modular design of the Q16-S and Q32-S routers give them a high degree of flexibility, allowing them to be easily configured in square or non-square sizes.
The Q16-S are housed in a 1RU frame and switches 16 sources to 16 destinations. The input stage of the Q16-S is fixed at 16 while the output stage is fully configurable. Up to 16 individual output SIMMs can be added to the output stage of the router at anytime.
The Q32-S is housed in a 2RU frame and can switch up to 32 sources to 32 destinations. The input stage of the Q32-S is initially fixed at 16 with the ability to add a further 16 input SIMMs to the router at anytime. The output stage is fully configurable with up to 32 individual output SIMMs being added to the output stage of the router at anytime.
Control: Both the Q16-S and the Q32-S 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-S to increase the number of Q-Link and Serial ports. This option is not available for the Q16-S.
The Q16-S and Q32-S have a number of control options, they are:
Local Control Panels: The CP-1600A-LP, can be fitted to the Q16-S (up to a maximum matrix size of 16x8). This option is not available for the Q32-S.
Passive Remote Control Panels: The CP-1601A-P and CP-1604-P passive remote control panels can be fitted to the Q16-S and Q32-S 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-S and Q32-S router connected via Q-Link.
External third party control: The Q16-S and Q32-S 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-S and the input and output stage of the Q32-S can expanded at any time by adding additional SIMMs. They can not be expanded beyond their frame size.
Power Supply: The power supplies for the Q16-S and the Q32-S are internal. The 2RU Q32-S 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-S.
