Quinta – Control Unit

2.4 Audio Connection
• If required, connect the Audio Mix , XLR  or Cinch 
master output of the Quinta CU control unit to the input of a
mixing console or amplifier.
• If you want to feed the audio signals into a network, connect
the AVB connection *  to the network by using a CAT5 cable.
You can also connect other audio sources or devices with AVB
connection, which are defined as “Talker” (e.g. microphone) or
“Listener” (e.g. loudspeaker), as well as DSP devices for audio
data processing.
• You can connect e.g. external loudspeakers to the individual
channels of the audio output .
• Always route cables running to the unit where they will not be
pinched or cut by heavy or sharp objects.
*AVB is a uniform standard for Audio/Video networks for data
communication with which the most different components can
communicate with each other.
AVB is based on IEEE 802 Ethernet for the real-time streaming of
audio and video contents via Ethernet.
AVB features a bandwidth reservation, a low jitter master clock, low
latencies and a timing mechanism for the synchronisation. AVB
supplies a sufficient raw data bandwidth to transmit up to 200 audio
channels via one single Gigabit Ethernet port. Field tests showed
that a part of this can be used for extended functions. In order to
achieve this, an AVB network separates the AVB data traffic from the
Standard Ethernet data traffic and manages streams accordingly.
This means that an AVB network can be connected to a Standard
Ethernet network to transfer data to and from the network. The
performance of the streaming of media can only be guaranteed
within a group of AVB capable devices.

2.5 Power Supply
• Verify that the voltage rating of the unit matches that of the AC
mains outlet you are to use. If you connect the unit to the
wrong voltage, you may seriously damage it.
• Always route cables running to the unit where they will not be
pinched or cut by heavy or sharp objects.
• Connect the Quinta CU control unit to the mains . The
internal power supply unit of the control unit can automatically
adjust between 100 and 240 V at 50 - 60 Hz.

2.6 Connection of Media Control System and PC
• If you want to configure, control and monitor the system via
the Quinta Conference software, connect the USB connection
 or the LAN connection  or RS 232  (null modem cable
required) with a media control system or PC. The default IP
address of the Quinta CU control unit is: 192.168.1.55
• If the Quinta CU control unit is connected e.g. via a network
with a WLAN Access Point, you can access the web server of
the Quinta CU control unit e.g. with a smartphone.

Important:
Never access the Quinta CU control unit via the media
control system and the Quinta Conference software
simultaneously. In this case a correct function of the system
cannot be guaranteed.
