QT-1616N & QT-3232N
Topaz Analog Video 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-1616N is housed in a 2RU frame and switches 16 sources to 16 destinations. Both the input and output stage of the QT-1616N is fixed at 16.
The QT-3232N 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-3232N 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.
The Topaz routers include, as standard, an internal Frame Controller module which supports a single Q-Link and Serial port on the rear of the router.
The Topaz routers have a number of control options, they are:
Local Control Panel: The CP-2402-LP can be fitted to the QT-1616N and QT-3232N.
Passive Remote Control Panels: The CP-1601A-P and CP-1604-P passive remote control panels can be fitted to the Topaz routers 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. The Topaz routers 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 Video Router provides excellent performance and reliability at an exceptional price for any analog video application. Full Broadcast Specifications with 75Ω terminating inputs. DC Restored Inputs and vertical interval switching for disturbance free switches. Component Video signals can be handled by stacking multiple units, or internally splitting the unit into several virtual levels. This allows support of many formats by simple configuration changes.
