QVM6800+ Installation and Operation Manual 1
Chapter 1
Introduction
Overview
QVM6800+ Quad Video Module supports four autosensing inputs (HD-SDI, SD-SDI, and
Composite) with simultaneous DVI and HD-SDI outputs. The cascade versions can be
combined to build larger virtual systems and are used with a back I/O plate with a LOOP IN
connector.
This chapter introduces the QVM6800+ series, and includes the following topics:
• “Main Features” on page 1
• “Applications” on page 2
• “ZConfigurator for QVM6800+” on page 2
• “Module Description” on page 3
• “Building Cascaded Systems” on page 5
The QVM6800+ can be configured as a quad-split, or as any other arrangement and cascaded
with other units (cascade version only) to build larger systems. The DVI-D output supports
output resolutions up to 1920 × 1200. The HD-SDI output supports resolutions up to 1920 ×
1080i.
The HD-SDI and DVI outputs always have the same resolution or pixel count whether
progressive or interlaced.
Due to high levels of heat dissipation, QVM6800+ modules should not be installed in
frames without fans.The modules cannot be installed in FR6802+DM and 6800/7000 series
frames.
