NVISION Compact CQX

3G/HD/SD Router with Clean and Quiet Switching

The NVISION Compact CQX is a 16x8 router which offers clean and quiet outputs for performing seamless video and audio transitions. The CQX provides two clean and quiet outputs for 3G/HD/SD signals, and six auxiliary outputs are available for preview or monitoring. It also offers support for up to 16 channels of embedded audio. The CQX's unique design supports ±3 line buffer, which reduces the need for costly timing equipment.

FEATURES

  • Unique design supports a ±3 line buffer, reducing the need for costly timing equipment
  • 16 inputs, 2 clean and quiet outputs, 6 auxiliary outputs
  • Support for 16 channels of embedded audio
  • V-fade, cut-fade, fade-cut and crossbar transitions
  • Choice of three transition rates
  • GPI/O interface for simple external control and alarms
  • Two bypass inputs with relays guarantee signal passage in the event of power failure
  • Serial port supports NVISION router serial protocol for automation control
