Description

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. Read more
