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. The line buffer allows the router to realign sources which are grossly out of time, and switch them with minimal delay. This switching is performed without any video artifacts or audio pops that are typically associated with a transition of this nature. Robust, compact and affordable, the NVISION Compact CQX is ideal for disaster recovery backup and bypass master control applications. It can also be used as a low-cost alternative to a master control system. Several transition types are available, including V-fade, cut-fade, fade-cut and crossbar. The CQX features two separate emergency bypass inputs with relays to ensure critical signal passage, even in the event of a power outage. The NVISION Compact CQX is based on the same durable and scalable design as the rest of the NVISION Compact router range. It can operate as a standalone unit, and can also be driven by an external control system.
