The Q-NEX  Networked Media Processor enables seamless integration of all your audio, video, and connectivity devices over an enterprise network via standard IP protocols.  Each channel has an independent gain control and Mute function along with individual polarity reversal for audio path switching between each channel pair and the ability to switch between any two audio inputs or outputs. The Q-NEX is available with optional PoE (Power over Ethernet) support for easy installation and deployment at remote locations without the need for additional power supplies.

The Q-NEX is a unique product with features that make it ideal for enterprise AV environments including:

The ability to integrate all your audio, video, and connectivity devices over an enterprise network in a single rack unit.
Automatic distribution of real-time media across the network.

To accommodate high-resolution media streams and control data; allowing for implementation of large, mixed AV installations using standard Ethernet infrastructure.

Fast enough for high-resolution media streams, control data, and mixing large, mixed AV installations. It can be implemented using standard Ethernet infrastructure.

Automatic, controlled distribution of real-time media across the network to the closest available media source, ensuring optimal performance.

A Q-NEX Networked Media Processor (NMP) can help to ensure that your AV system operates at optimal capacity and performance. This is possible because of its automatic, controlled distribution of real-time media across the network to the closest available media source, ensuring optimal performance.

With an NMP in place, if one AV device needs more bandwidth than it currently has access to—and there isn’t another device nearby with enough bandwidth—the NMP will automatically switch over to a different device and take on some of its processing duties. For example, let’s say that you have four teachers in front of their own laptops for presentation purposes during class time: each teacher has his or her own laptop connected via HDMI cable back into an LCD monitor; three projectors are also connected via HDMI cables back into three separate large-screen TVs set up around the room; and all five screens are being shared amongst all five devices because they’re all going through one long video cable running down from somewhere above (e.g., the ceiling). Without an NMP managing things behind the scenes so seamlessly, this would cause problems when any one person attempted to connect his or her laptop directly into any one of those three projectors without first connecting it through said long video cable going up through whatever hole exists overhead.

Usage monitoring tools that allow system administrators to monitor and troubleshoot activity across multiple sites and installations.

The Q-NEX networked media processor has a built-in usage monitoring tool that allows system administrators to monitor and troubleshoot activity across multiple sites and installations. This feature enables them to identify which users are accessing the material, what they are doing with it, where it is being stored and shared, as well as any issues with network access.

System administrators can then send notifications for users who violate policy or security parameters by using the system’s integrated email facility. It also gives them the ability to track down who has accessed a particular piece of content via its metadata database so they can contact them directly if needed.

Use the right tool to solve your problem and save yourself time in the process.

Make sure you understand the problem before you start.
Don’t try to do too much at once.
Ask for help when you need it.
There’s no shame in trying something new, even if it means falling flat on your face!
