INTRODUCTION TO OPERATIONS
The Quadra is a high performance, four channel multi-format up/down
converter with numerous applications in graphics, displays and multi-monitor
environments. Using an easy command line interface, users can convert each
input to a different user-defined output format, or take a single distributed input
source and “scale” it across multiple displays.
Quadra’s features enable you to pan, zoom, and selectively extract any portion
of an input signal for cropping or aspect ratio adjustment. You can also easily
convert an input source to a lower line rate format.
• In the “individual” channel conversion mode, each input can be
converted to a different output format as illustrated below:
Figure 3-1.
Four channel conversion configuration
At your facility, this method is ideal in situations where many different
up/down conversion configurations are required.
• In Quadra’s 2x2 “wall” configuration, a single distributed source can
be scaled across multiple monitors, as shown below:
