Quantum2 XL

Portable

The Prodys Quantum2 XL is a portable, all-in-one, broadcast-grade IP commentary unit designed to send high-quality, two-way audio and optional video from a remote location to a studio. It combines audio/video encoding, multiple network interfaces for IP bonding and diversity, a video decoder, and an embedded mixer to create a complete solution for on-site commentary, allowing for dual-language broadcasts, video return feeds, and advanced audio management using standard protocols like AES67 and SIP.

Key Features:

  • Equipped with 5 microphone/line inputs with AES/EBU, USB Audio, and AoIP (Dante/Ravenna AES67) support, providing exceptional flexibility for a wide range of production workflows.
  • Supports up to 8-channel AES67 AoIP connectivity, enabling seamless integration with Dante and Ravenna networks for high-quality audio transport.
  • Features 2 indepent stereo audio streaming channels and 1 video streaming channel, supporting simultaneous transmission and reception with video latency below 300 ms
  • Integrates multiple IP interfaces- including 5G/LTE, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet- for transmitting encoded audio and video, enabling secure, resilient and high-quality transmissions over unreliable IP networks thanks to the BRAVE protocol.
  • Flexible audio routing architecture, combining multiple audio interfaces, internal buses, and routing matrices to connect virtually any signal source while allowing each output to be configured independently.
  • Advanced audio/video routing, with the ability to freely assign audio associated with video.
  • REMI Solutions: powerful tools designed to quickly adapt to a wide variety of production scenarios without requiring additional hardware.
    • Ethernet Tunnel: Secure Layer 2 Ethernet tunneling that transparently extends the studio LAN to the remote unit. This enables remote control of IP cameras, intercom systems, and other Ethernet devices as if they were connected to the same local network. By operating at Layer 2, it seamlessly transports unicast, broadcast, and multicast traffic, creating a single virtual LAN between both locations.
    • Internet Sharing: Turns the Quantum into a Wi-Fi/LAN access point, providing internet connectivity to cameras, laptops, and mobile devices at the remote location by leveraging multiple IP connections.

*These features require a specific software license. Please consult your Prodys distributor for further details.
