Configuring the QGE for Use with a Quantum Elite Processor

To use a Quantum Elite Videowall Processor as a viewing device, use the Quantum Elite Control Software, provided on the Extron Videowall Processing CD. (See the Quantum Elite and Quantum Connect User Guide for details on accessing and loading this software).

1.Ensure that the QGE is in multicast mode (see “Configuring UDP multicast settings” on page 31).

2.With both the Quantum Elite and the QGE 100 powered on and connected to the network, open the Quantum Elite software.

3.Select a Quantum on the network to use with the QGE:

a.On the left taskbar of the Quantum Control Software main window, click the

Choose Display Processors button to display the display processors screen.

b.On the toolbar at the top of the Quantum main window, click the Probe the Network for Quantum Frames button (shown at right). The IP addresses of all Quantums on the network are displayed.

c.Select the check box next to the Quantum that you want to use.

4.Click the Set Up Sources button on the taskbar (shown at right).

5.In the source explorer tree in the left pane of the Set Up Sources workspace, right-click Display Processors and select Detect Sources from the drop-down menu. The Detect Quantum Sources window opens.

6.Click the Full Detect button, then click Yes on the confirmation prompt that opens.

Figure 24. Detect Quantum Sources Window

A list of source types (including QGE 100) is added to the source explorer tree (depending on the available sources on the network, this may take a few seconds to display completely).

7.If necessary, click the + button in front of QGE 100 to expand the source type category.

The name of your QGE 100 is listed below the source type.

8.If you want to make changes to the QGE properties, click on the name of your QGE in this list to display its information in the right pane. Enter any changes, then click

Apply. (The Source Selected TX field should remain blank.)

See figure 25 on page 33 for an example of QGE parameters on the Set Up Sources screen.

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.
