Topaz - Compact Routers

Designed to offer a high value solution at an affordable price. The first routers released are the
QT-SV-1616 and QT-SV-3232, each designed for SDI or ASI signals and
with either 16 or 32 inputs and outputs. HD version available.

The entire range of Topaz routers are compatible with the existing ranges of Quartz routers,remote control panels and control systems.They are also built to the same high standards of quality and reliability found in all Quartz products.
 Each Topaz unit is shipped ready to use.WinSetup configuration software is also included to allow user configuration at any time.Each of the Topaz models can work standalone,or combined with additional Topaz frames to build multi-level routing systems.

Xenon - Multi Format Routers

             Xenon allows any mix of formats within a frame in independent blocks of 32 inputs or outputs.
Any of the supported formats,including HD,can be expanded to fill an entire 128x128frame.

Video: Xenon supports HD,SD,ASI and Analog video routing.It is
available as HD/SD or SD only,offering cost savings for those
who do not require HD capability.Video inputs and outputs are
selected in blocks of 32.

Audio: Balanced AES,unbalanced AES on BNCs,or analog audio are
supported in any mixture in blocks of 32 inputs or outputs.

Control Panels
Quartz offers a wide selection of control panels to suit every budget and application, such as
the CP1000 intelligent panel and the CP3200 remote keypad with display as shown here:

Master Control Switcher
The innovative QMC master control switcher offers new options,
including the dual-channel DVE feature and the HD version.

QMC.pdf
Occupying just 3U for two channels, the QMC handles four layers of keying (one of which is its own internal logo store, providing integrated channel branding) plus two voice-over channels.
Program audio can be embedded, AES or analogue.
The control panel is modular, adaptable and occupies only a small amount of desk space,
a great benefit in multi-channel applications.
The QMC is designed to protect the station output at all times;
Front access, plug-in modules and redundant power supplies
allow easy maintenance and upgrading;
relay bypass and emergency routing protect the output
in the event of a major failure of the upstream equipment or the QMC itself.
