Performance and reliability in a compact package
The EQT is a routing solution for mission critical applications. Its revolutionary design provides easy access to all components for quick replacement, minimizing down time. With this, and the ability to route up to 16x16 signals in a compact 1RU frame, the EQT is ideal for all mission critical and demanding 24/7 environments.
Being format independent data paths the EQT supports digital signals from 3Mb/s all the way up to 3Gb/s including SD-SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, DVB-ASI, SMPTE ST 310.
Configuration: The EQT is housed in a 1RU frame and switches 16 sources to 16 or 4 destinations. The input stage of the EQT is fixed at 16 and the output stage is fixed at 16 or 4.
Control: The EQT router is compatible with the existing ranges of Quartz routers, remote control panels and control systems. The EQT router includes, as standard, an internal frame controller module which supports a single Q-Link, a single serial port and a single Ethernet port on the rear of the router.
The EQT router has a number of control options:
Remote Control Panel: Any panel(s) from the entire range of Quartz remote control panels can be used with the EQT router connected via Q-Link or Ethernet. (Exceptions: CP-1024E, CP-2272E, CP-1040E)
External Third Party Control: The EQT router can be remotely controlled via an external third party control device, such as an automation system, when connected to the serial port or Ethernet.
Expansion: The input stage of the EQT is fixed at 16 and the output stage is fixed at 16 or 4.
Power Supply: The power supply for the EQT router is internal. The EQT router can be fitted with an optional redundant internal power supply that is hot swappable.
Technical: The EQT router offers a full 3Gb/s bandwidth to handle uncompressed HD signals. In addition, automatic bit rate detection on the input equalizer allows any mix of 3G, HD and SD signals in the same unit. All outputs are reclocking and user configurable.
