Anaheim, California (February 3, 2025) - Extron today announced the new Quantum OUT32AT output card for Quantum Ultra II videowall processors that provides direct connection to Dante® systems. It delivers up to 32 stereo pairs of digital audio from a videowall system to a Dante audio network. Audio for each Dante stereo pair can originate from a source connected to an Extron Quantum IN4FOX3 or Quantum IN4HDMI 4K PLUS input card. Alternatively, it can follow the active program audio for any of up to 20 available canvases. A single Quantum OUT32AT output card can support an entire Quantum Ultra II system, simplifying audio management and videowall design.

“When a videowall system has to tie into a Dante audio network, direct communication is the best bet for reliability without adding more equipment,” says Casey Hall, Chief Marketing Officer for Extron. “Integrating a new Quantum OUT32AT card into a Quantum Ultra II system equipped with FOX3 or HDMI 4K PLUS cards delivers everything required for efficient and cost-effective videowall audio management.”

Quantum Ultra II is the next generation of Extron videowall processors, providing advanced, future-ready connectivity and throughput capabilities. Its HyperLane video bus delivers unmatched real‑time performance with a throughput of up to 500 Gbps. The FOX3 connectors and 18 Gbps HDMI connectors on the 4K input and output cards support resolutions up to 4K/60 at 4:4:4 with full HDCP 2.3 compliance, and 8K/60 sources can be accommodated as a quad-path signal. Embedded audio from any source can be routed to each active canvas or a Dante audio network. The processor can support up to 20 canvases with mixed resolutions and screen orientations. Features such as portrait and landscape output support, output overlap, and custom output resolutions ensure display compatibility. RS-232, USB, and Ethernet interfaces provide direct connection to control systems.

Extron Videowall Configuration Software (VCS) and SIS commands facilitate audio mapping, with Dante Controller software enabling advanced Quantum OUT32AT card configuration. Primary and secondary Dante Ethernet ports provide redundancy for maximum uptime.
