What are “quads” and are there more than one kind?
A2: A video “quad” is a general term for a wide array of video processors which are capable of connecting multiple video cameras to be shown on the same screen at the same time. A “dual page” quad has eight video inputs and allows viewing of 4 cameras at a time on two “pages” or alternating screens. Anything beyond 8 cameras is generally referred to as a “multiprocessor” or multiplexer even though all are considered video processors. Our QB-4/8 and QC-4 are excellent, high resolution processors capable of viewing multiple cameras simultaneously in near real time.
