Streamed QGE 100 data can be decoded and displayed using any of the following viewing platforms:

•A Quantum Elite Videowall Processor (multicast mode only)

•A computer running QGE 100 Viewer software

•A computer running QGE 100 Administrator software

Managing the Network

Use the QGE 100 Administrator software to configure the image stream and IP address settings of QGE 100 units.

Image streams

The following user-definable settings are available on the QGE 100 unit to facilitate the management of the image streams:

•Frame rate

•Bandwidth limit

•TTL (Time to Live)

•Refresh rate

•Multicast address

•IP Settings

Network settings

You can also configure the following IP settings for each unit:

Available settings are:

•IP address

•Subnet mask

•Default gateway

•DNS Server

•WINS Server

•Network name

•Network port speed

•DHCP enable

Operating System

Although it has keyboard, mouse, and monitor connections, the QGE 100 is not a PC. It does not have a Windows graphical user interface, and you cannot connect a monitor, keyboard, and mouse directly to it to access any setup features or to control the operating system.

Image retention

After the QGE 100 has been powered off, all memory and frame stores are purged. Therefore, the QGE itself does not retain any representation of the sources that were displayed on the system prior to shutdown.

QGE 100 specifications

The Extron QGE 100 is a high-performance network switch engineered specifically for AV system integration. With its advanced capabilities, this device plays a crucial role in managing AV data traffic, ensuring reliable performance and efficiency in various settings such as corporate environments, educational institutions, and healthcare facilities.

One of the key features of the QGE 100 is its support for Power over Ethernet (PoE). This allows the switch to deliver both data and power to connected devices over a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installations and reducing the need for additional power sources. This is particularly beneficial for devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and AV devices in scenarios where accessibility to power outlets may be limited.

The QGE 100 also provides a robust Layer 2 switching functionality, which is essential for managing data flow within the network. Its capability to handle multiple VLANs ensures that AV traffic can be segregated effectively, thus improving network performance and security. The switch features IGMP Snooping, a protocol that optimizes multicast traffic management, ensuring that video streams reach the intended recipients without unnecessary bandwidth consumption.

In terms of connectivity, the Extron QGE 100 is equipped with multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports, facilitating high-speed data transmission for AV content. The switch's user-friendly management interface allows for straightforward configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting, streamlining operations across AV environments. Additionally, it supports link aggregation, enhancing bandwidth and redundancy when connecting multiple devices.

The QGE 100 is also designed with reliability in mind, featuring a fanless operation that minimizes noise and ensures a long lifespan. Its compact form factor allows for easy rack mounting in equipment racks, maintaining a clean and organized setup.

Another vital characteristic of the QGE 100 is its compatibility with Extron's comprehensive suite of AV control and management products. This integration capability provides users with a cohesive solution for managing their AV systems, further enhancing the overall user experience.

In conclusion, the Extron QGE 100 network switch is an essential tool for any AV system requiring efficient connectivity, power delivery, and data management. Its sophisticated features and technologies make it a valuable asset in modern AV installations, ensuring robust performance and ease of use.
