Quantum Ultra®Series Videowall Processors •

Setup Guide

The Extron Quantum Ultra Series, consisting of the Quantum Ultra 610 and 305, the Quantum Ultra II 610 and 305, and the

Quantum Ultra Connect 128 and 84 Videowall Processors, are modular 4K video processors that support ultra-high resolutions

up to 2560x1600 and 4096x2160 (4K) @ 60 Hz on inputs and outputs. All models provide customizable output resolutions, input

and output image rotation, and mullion compensation. USB, RS-232, and Ethernet interfaces also provide direct connections for

control systems.

• The Quantum Ultra 610 has a 6U, 10-slot card frame, or chassis, while the Quantum Ultra 305 has a 3U chassis with

five card slots. These models support multiple videowalls with mixed resolutions and screen orientations. They also support

edge blend compensation, window border styles, and a variety of source types including picture, RSS, Text, Clock, and

VNC. The optional IN SMD 100 input card decodes and displays multiple simultaneous MPEG2, Motion JPEG, and H.264

video streams at up to 60 frames per second. Each input card contains four HDMI or two LAN connectors. The output cards

contain either four HDMI or four DTP connectors. Both chassis support any combination of input and output cards. Additional

inputs and outputs can be added to a system with use of one or more additional chassis.

• The Quantum Ultra II 610 and Quantum Ultra II 305 have the same features as their respective Quantum Ultra 610

and Quantum Ultra 305 counterparts, described above. In addition, these models support the IN4HDMI 4K PLUS input and

OUT4HDMI 4K PLUS output cards, which provide 4K @ 60 Hz capability on each of the four HDMI connectors.

• The Quantum Ultra Connect 128 and 84 have fixed configurations. The Quantum Ultra Connect 84 has two HDMI

input cards and one HDMI output card, while the Quantum Ultra Connect 128 has three HDMI input cards and two HDMI

output cards. These card configurations cannot be modified by the user.

The Expansion In and Expansion Out cards provide another option for the Quantum Ultra 610 and Quantum Ultra 305

(Quantum Ultra II and Quantum Ultra Connect models do not support expansion cards). These input and output cards enable

up to ve Quantum Ultra chassis to be connected together and managed from one primary chassis (see Expansion Cards on

page4). Using the expansion cards, a Quantum Ultra system can be expanded to up to 42 input and output cards.

Control methods for all models include Extron Videowall Conguration Software (VCS), available on the Extron website, which

provides a means of conguring videowall displays and saving window presets. Control is also available via Simple Instruction

Set™ (SIS™) or the Express Mobile Software (EMS) for Quantum Ultra on an iOS®, Android®, or Microsoft®tablet device.

This setup guide provides step-by-step instructions for an experienced user to set up and congure a Quantum Ultra Series

device. In this guide, the terms “Quantum Ultra Series,” “Quantum Ultra Series device,” “unit,” and “processor” are used

interchangeably to refer to all models in the series.

Card Installation Order

When the Quantum Ultra Series device is assembled at the factory, all the input cards are installed in slots above the output cards

in the chassis. If installing cards yourself, do not intersperse input cards with output cards.

NOTE: The expansion output and input cards have special rules for placement in card slots (see Expansion Card

Locations in the Chassis on page4 for more information).

Each card slot can contain either an input or an output card (at least one input and one output card must be installed). However,

because all the input cards must be installed together above the output cards in the chassis, slot 1 cannot contain an output card

and slot 10 of the 610 models or slot 5 of the 305 models cannot contain an input card.

All input cards of the same type (IN SMD 100, HDMI, and HDMI 4K PLUS) must be installed in adjacent slots, as must all output

cards of the same type (HDMI, DTP, and HDMI 4K PLUS). Do not intersperse different card types.

• Install the cards in this order: IN SMD 100, IN4HDMI, IN4HDMI 4K PLUS, OUT4HDMI, OUT4DTP, OUT4HDMI 4K PLUS.

• Do not leave empty slots between cards in the chassis. Empty card slots must be at the bottom of the card stack.

Expansion Cards

The Expansion IN (input) and Expansion OUT (output) cards are used to interconnect up to ve chassis in a chain. All chassis in

an expansion system are connected to the same network via their LAN A ports. The rst (primary) chassis in the signal chain is

always a Quantum Ultra 610, and controls the other (secondary) chassis in the chain. The last unit in the chain can be either a

Quantum Ultra 305 or 610 (expansion cards are not supported by the Quantum Ultra II or Quantum Ultra Connect models).

Figure 3. Expansion Out Card

Each input and output expansion card contains three MPO connectors,

labeled A, B, and C. The chassis in the system are linked to each other

through these connectors. Two lengths of MPO M-M cables are available:

1 meter (3.3 feet), and 10 meters (32.8 feet). Three cables of the either length

are needed for each pair of output-input expansion cards to be connected together.

Expansion Card Locations in the Chassis

In the expansion units, cards are factory-installed in the chassis in the order

listed below:

On the primary chassis:

• Non-expansion input and output cards are installed as described

under Card Installation Order on page4 (see 1in the image at

right).

• The Expansion OUT card is installed in the last slot (slot 10) of the

primary chassis to enable connection to the secondary chassis (2).

Product Category

On the secondary chassis:

• The Expansion IN card is installed in the first slot (slot 1) to accept the

connection from the Expansion OUT card in the previous chassis (see

1in the image at right).

• Additional non-expansion input or output cards are installed

following the installation order started in the previous chassis.

In the example at right, non-expansion input cards (2) are installed

below the Expansion IN card. Non-expansion output cards (3) follow

the input cards. The Expansion OUT card (4) is in the last slot.

NOTES:

• The last chassis in the chain does not contain an Expansion

OUT card.

• 4K PLUS input and output cards are currently not supported

in expansion systems.

• So long as the expansion cards do not interrupt an

otherwise normal flow of card locations, any expansion

system should be valid.

Connecting Expansion Cards

1. Connect three MPO cables between Expansion OUT card connectors A, B, and C of the primary chassis and Expansion

IN card connectors A, B, and C of the first secondary chassis in the chain. Always connect output A to input A, output B to

input B, and output C to input C (see figure4 on page5).

2. Connect the three expansion outputs of each subsequent secondary chassis to the expansion inputs of the next chassis until

all the desired chassis (up to five) are connected (figure4).

3. Configure the outputs. The settings on the menus in the output configuration panel apply to all displays in the Canvas:

• Resolution (see figure9, 5— From this drop-down list, select the output resolution for the displays.

• Master Refresh Rate (6) — From this drop-down list, select the refresh rate for the displays.

NOTE: Quantum Ultra and Ultra II 610 and 305 only: This rate not only applies to all the displays on the first

Canvas, but limits selectable refresh rates on all other Canvases that are added (see the VCS Help File to use

multiple Canvases).

Quantum Ultra Series • Setup Guide (Continued)

• Output format (see figure9, 7on the previous page) — From this drop-down list, select the output format (AUTO, DVI

RGB 444 or HDMI RGB 444). The default is Auto.

• HDCP Mode (8) — From this drop-down list, select how to manage HDCP encryption on the outputs. You can select

to always encrypt the output (default), to never encrypt the output, or to attempt to encrypt the output for 1 minute, then

revert to an unencrypted state (not allowing display of HDCP encrypted sources if authentication with the sink device

fails).

• HDCP Notification (9) — From this drop-down list, select to enable or disable a green screen notification when the

input signal contains HDCP-protected content and the outputs cannot be encrypted.

• Display Rotation (¢) — In this panel, select the radio button for the angle at which the displays

physically rotate: +90°(90 degrees clockwise), -90° (90 degrees counterclockwise) or 0° (no

rotation). The example at right shows a videowall that has four rotated displays.

NOTE: The OUT4HDMI cards support output rotation only on the even numbered channels

and disables the odd numbered channels. The OUT4HDMI 4K PLUS cards support output

rotation on all channels.

4. Define the Quantum Ultra Series device and output in the output assignment panel (£) for each

display on the videowall, using either of the following methods:

• Automatic method — (Recommended) Click the Auto Assign Outputs button (¤) to

automatically assign a device and an output channel to each display in the videowall. Output card

slot and connector numbers are assigned to the displays in numerical order. The displays are

shown on the Canvas numbered from left to right, starting in the upper-left corner with Display 1.

The number format for the display locations is n.n.n. The first numeral indicates the chassis number. If there is a single

chassis, this number is 1. In an expansion system, this number is the order number of the chassis in the chain. In all

systems, the second numeral is the card slot, and the third is the connector (channel) number. For example, 3.9.2

represents chassis 3, card slot 9, connector 2.

• Manual method —

a. Select a Quantum Ultra Series device for a display on the videowall. Click <Undefined>

beside the number of the display to be assigned, and select a device from the drop-down

list.

b. Select a chassis, output card, and slot number for the display. Click <Undefined> in

the Output Assignment column, in the row of the display to be assigned. On the output

drop-down list, all output connectors are listed in order by chassis number (unless the unit is

part of an expansion system, this number is always 1), then card slot number, then

connector number.

In the example at right, number 1.10.4 represents connector 4on the

output card in slot 10 of chassis 1.

Repeat these steps for each display on the videowall to which you want to

assign a Quantum Ultra Series device and output connector. (This guide

assumes you are conguring a videowall with one device. For information on

conguring a videowall with multiple processors, see the VCS Help File).

5. In the Mullion/Edge Blending Compensation panel (¥) select either of the following radio buttons (for more detailed

information, see the VCS Help File):

• Mullion Compensation — Displays controls that let you specify the mullion space around the displays in pixels, inches,

centimeters, or millimeters. If not using pixel values, you must also enter the diagonal size of the screen.

• Edge Blending (Quantum Ultra or Ultra II 610 and 305 only) — Displays controls that let you specify the amount in

pixels of horizontal and vertical overlap of the videowall outputs.

6. If desired, select a test pattern from the menu in the Test Pattern panel (¦) to aid in optimizing the wall configuration.

Source Configuration

Each source used in a project must have a corresponding source denition in VCS. To congure the sources:

1. On the taskbar, click the Source Configuration button (see figure10, 1on the next page) to display the Source

Configuration screen.

2. Select a source type. In the Source Configuration Tree (left panel), click a source type to add (2). Depending on

the cards installed in your unit, HDMI, IP Source, or both may be listed. Picture, Clock, VNC, Text, and Really Simple

Syndication (RSS) source types are always available for configuration.
