The Quantum225 includes 72 input channels with 36 busses plus the master buss , and a 12x12 matrix . There are four MADI ports and dual DMI ports for added connectivity , 8x8 analog and 4 AES channels for local I / O , built-in UB MADI , optional optics and Waves SoundGrid , plus dual PSU .
The Quantum225 also incorporates familiar features from the existing Quantum range , including Mustard Processing channel strips , Spice Rack plugin style native FPGA processing options , Nodal Processing , and True Solo .
The Quantum225 boasts a 17-in ., full colour , daylight bright , TFT multitouch screen with the Quantum Dark application , seen before on the Quantum338 , combined with 41 mini TFTs located across the surface to provide responsive user feedback and interaction .
Unique to the Quantum225 is a custom designed , multi-purpose mounting bracket that attaches quickly and easily to the left-hand panel of the console . The bracket can be installed at two angles with quick release to cater to all preferences or applications .
The new , compact , 6U DQ ( Dante ) and MQ ( MADI ) companion racks have been designed specifically for modern application demands . They feature 48 mic / line inputs , up to 24 analog outputs or up to 8x AES outputs . Their audio design allows the user to reconfigure four of the analog line outputs to be either analog outputs or dual AES outputs . This I / O flexibility and other configuration changes are managed from the rack ’ s own TFT Configuration screen . Standard features include Dual PSU and 48k or 96k operation .

Visionary Solutions PacketAV Duet Wallplate Encoders with Bluetooth
Visionary Solutions has released its next generation of PacketAV Duet Wallplate Encoders , which provide 4K UHD Video and Dante / AES67 audio over a single gigabit ethernet port while now featuring built-in bi-directional Bluetooth wireless audio connectivity and other enhanced features .
With Bluetooth 5.0 for extended range , faster data throughput , and reliable connections , the DuetE- WP-BT supports bi-directional smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth for web conference soft-codec AV integration , thus eliminating the need for separate bridging hardware . The PacketAV Duet Wallplate Encoders fit into a two-gang , U . S . or U . K . -style back box without additional electrical box modification .
They mount into standard Decora-style wallplates for use in a wall , tabletop , lectern , or floor box . The 45-degree ethernet connector enables simplified access from any side of the electrical box while providing bend radius relief for category cables . The Duet Wallplate Encoders feature a single ethernet port with internal VLAN tagging capability to separate audio and video network traffic as needed .
