QT-1616-AA & QT-3232-AA
Topaz Analog Audio Routers
Designed to meet the needs of both the broadcast and professional video users Topaz is an aggressively low priced routing system combining no-compromise technical specifications with a market leading control system.
With broadcast quality, reliability, and affordability, Topaz is suited to many applications, including professional, corporate/industrial markets, educational uses and the AV and presentation markets.
Configuration: The QT-1616-AA is housed in a 2RU frame and switches 16 sources to 16 destinations. Both the input and output stage of the QT-1616-AA is fixed at 16.
The QT-3232-AA is also housed in a 2RU frame and can switch up to 32 sources to 32 destinations. Both the input and output stage of the QT-3232-AA is fixed at 32.
Control: The entire range of Topaz routers are compatible with the existing ranges of Quartz routers, remote control panels and control systems.
Both the QT-1616-AA and the QT-3232-AA 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 QT-1616-AA and QT-3232-AA have a number of control options, they are:
Local Control Panel: The CP-2402-LP can be fitted to the QT-1616-AA and QT-3232-AA.
Passive Remote Control Panels: The CP-1601A-P and CP-1604-P passive remote control panels can be fitted to the Topaz router via a PI-1604 or PI-1608 parallel interface.
Remote Control Panel: Any panel(s) from the entire range of Quartz remote control panels can be used with the Topaz routers connected via Q-Link.
External third party control: The Topaz routers 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 input and output stage of both the Topaz routers are fixed at 16 and 32. They can not be expanded beyond their frame size.
Power Supply: The power supply for the Topaz routers is external and connects to the frame via secure bayonet locking connector. Both the QT-1616-AA and the QT-3232-AA can be fitted with an optional redundant external power supply. An optional mounting tray securely supports both of the power supplies without the need for additional rack space.
Technical: Topaz Analog Audio Router may be used as a companion audio router, working with Topaz video routers, or as a standalone audio router. With its outstanding performance the Topaz-AA even suits the most demanding audio applications. Timecode Signals may be passed through Topaz-AA, even when shuttling tape. Each Topaz-AA Frame carries two channels of audio. Frames may be stacked when additional channels are required or split into sections to add channels in the same frame.
