Extron Quantum Ultra II Series Control Spec

Summary

Extron Quantum Ultra II is a videowall processor controllable via SIS (Simple Instruction Set) commands over RS-232, USB, or TCP/IP (LAN A). This spec covers the basic SIS command subset from the setup guide; the full command set is in the Quantum Ultra Series User Guide.

Notes

• SIS commands use a compact symbolic syntax: X# = canvas, X% = window, X! = input, X2% = preset, X7% = border style, X8^ = video format, X* = Dante channel, X( = Dante source, X1) = DHCP enable/disable, X11$ = IP address string.
• } in commands represents the Esc character (0x1B); responses use ] which represents a carriage return or delimiter.
• Audio selection and Dante source selection commands apply to Quantum Ultra II only.
• Window border style commands apply to Quantum Ultra and Quantum Ultra II only.
• IP configuration commands apply only to the LAN A port and require a Commit and Reboot command for changes to persist.
• USB mini B Config connector also supports SIS commands and VCS control.
• Configuration via Extron Videowall Configuration Software (VCS) and Express Mobile Software (EMS) on iOS/Android/Microsoft tablets is also available.
