It is the accessory that turns a set of small standalone processors into an organised head-end rather than a stack of loose boxes on a shelf. Ten processors in 3RU is a high density for a digital signage or control room deployment feeding forty display panels. Quote it alongside any multi-cluster QuadPlex order so the rack elevation can be drawn before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA QuadPlex processor is 1.25 x 5.5 x 7.13 inches and 1.1 lbs, small enough to hide behind a display. That is an advantage in a single-cluster room and a liability in a head-end serving many clusters: ten small chassis on a shelf are hard to label, hard to trace and hard to service. The QPX RAK gives each processor a fixed position in the rack, in one of two orientations depending on the density required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe horizontal orientation places three units across 1RU, which suits a small signage head-end or a control room with three operator display clusters. The vertical orientation places ten units in 3RU, which is the configuration for a large signage estate or a multi-position control room where every cluster is driven from a central rack. Either way, power, Ethernet management and output cabling terminate in one controlled space, and the 15 W maximum draw per processor keeps the thermal load of a full tray modest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tray takes the standalone units — the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rgb-spectrum-qpx-din-quadplex-processor-1-displayport-1-2-input-4-hdmi-outputs\"\u003eQPX DIN DisplayPort-input processor\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rgb-spectrum-qpx-hin-quadplex-processor-1-hdmi-2-0-input-4-hdmi-outputs\"\u003eQPX HIN HDMI-input processor\u003c\/a\u003e — as well as the card versions.
