QGE 100 • Setup Guide

The QGE 100 Quantum Graphics Encoder encodes an RGB or DVI signal from a source computer or similar graphical device and streams it to a Quantum® Elite Videowall Processor, computer, or other viewing device over an IP network. The viewing device can then decode the image data and reproduce the original source image, displaying it at its original or scaled resolution. The QGE is connected between a source computer and its monitor, keyboard, and mouse without affecting the performance of the computer. From these connections it obtains data about changes in the display content, along with keyboard and mouse actions.

NOTE: For full installation, configuration, and operation details, see the QGE 100 User Guide at www.extron.com.

Connect the QGE mouse PC port (D) to the PS/2 mouse connector of the source computer. Connect the QGE keyboard PC port (H) to the PS/2 keyboard connector of the source computer. Connect the DVI-I In (F) monitor port of the QGE to the monitor port of the source computer. Connect the monitor of the source computer to the DVI-I Out loop-through connector (G) of the QGE.

3.Connect the QGE to the network. Connect the QGE Ethernet port to the network of your viewing device.

4.Connect power to the QGE 100 (see “Connecting Power to the QGE 100,” below).

NOTE: Always power up the QGE 100 before the source computer; otherwise, the QGE does not correctly detect the mouse, keyboard, and monitor.

5.Power on the source computer.

CAUTION: Always power on the source computer and QGE 100 after making all connections between them.

Connecting Power to the QGE 100

1.Plug the mini DIN connector of the provided 12 VDC power supply into the rear panel connector labeled “12V DC.”

2.Connect the provided power cord between the IEC connector of the power supply and an AC outlet. (The QGE 100 power supply is double-insulated and does not require an earth to ground connection.)
