To meet the

increasing

technological demands

of video surveillance, security and homeland defense, QuickSet International has engineered three routing switchers, tying together all of the elements of security systems large and small. From the Scout 16, with sixteen high-resolution 30Mhz audio and video inputs and outputs to the modular Shield 64 and Sentinel 256 series, with up to a 256x128 audio/video matrices, you can assemble a system that addresses the complexities and achieves the technological goals of your custom security and surveillance applications. The QuickSwitch Scout 16 series switcher accepts up to sixteen composite sources, sixteen balanced or unbalanced stereo audio sources, and connects any one of the input sources to one or more of the sixteen outputs. With a wide frequency response of DC to 30MHz and advanced buffering circuitry, all of the video detail your camera captures will be preserved regardless of how many outputs you send the video to.
With a matrix switcher, one source of video may be routed to a single or multiple monitors. With the Scout16’s individual crosspoints, you can even route 16 cameras to 8 monitors and recorders to monitor and record simultaneously without moving a single wire while maintaining perfect signal integrity.                                               

In addition to

the standard RS232/422 serial control port, control options include

a built-in

IP (Ethernet-RJ45) control for operation over a LAN or Internet and a variety of QuickSwitch remote keypads. The Scout 16 is also fully compatible with all third party touchscreen controllers from Creston, AMX and Leightronix.
To monitor audio the Scout16 is available with ultra-low noise 3-wire balanced stereo audio or RCA-style unbalanced stereo audio with the optional volume and tone package, sound adjustments control volume, balance, input trim and tone.
Rugged and housed in a compact 2 rackunit chassis, the router can be placed almost anywhere- out of sight or behind locked doors to eliminate unwarranted access.
