Anaheim, California (October 2, 2024) - Extron is pleased to announce the immediate availability of major enhancements to its EMS Express Mobile Software – Quantum Ultra. Videowall control is even easier with this latest update to the software, which now supports up to 20 canvases, user roles, user canvas access, source assignment by canvas, and more. This intuitive application for iOS, Android, and Windows platforms leverages familiar touch controls like pinch and zoom, drag and drop, tap, and swipe for easy wireless control of a Quantum Ultra videowall. Its powerful features combined with the user-friendly interface and new enhanced capabilities, such as remote videowall operation within an Extron FOX installation and more flexibility with multiple canvases, make EMS-Quantum Ultra an ideal solution for single- or multi-point user control of a videowall.

New Features

Flexible Canvas area for content placement – The on-screen representation of the videowall can be independent of the overall output resolution. This is beneficial when the active videowall area is a subset of the total output resolution. Any unused Canvas area is hidden from view.
Support for Quantum IN4FOX3 and Quantum OUT4FOX3 cards - Compatible with Quantum Ultra II videowall processors; a firmware update to support these cards is required.
Up to 50 login accounts with Admin, Designer, or User Permission Levels
Manage up to 20 videowalls with varying resolutions and screen arrangements — Up to 20 canvasses can be easily controlled from a single Quantum Ultra or Quantum Ultra II system.
Canvas Access Permission– Allows Login accounts to have designated access to one or more canvasses in a project file, up to a maximum of 20 canvasses, as specified by an Administrator in VCS.
Source Access Permission– Allows Canvasses to have access only to designated sources, as specified by an Administrator in VCS.

“EMS-Quantum Ultra offers professional videowall control functionality to users, providing intuitive access to a wide selection of features that enhance system operation as well as content presentation,” says Casey Hall, Chief Marketing Officer for Extron. “Now, powerful new capabilities combined with the user-friendly interface and full range of established features make EMS-Quantum Ultra perfect for putting control of one or more videowalls in the palm of their hand.”

EMS-Quantum Ultra can be used in a variety of control scenarios. It can act as a single, exclusive point of control for one or more videowalls. As a multi-point control solution, up to 10 mobile devices can operate the videowalls. It can also be a supplemental point of control used in conjunction with Extron's VCS and a control system. Initial Quantum Ultra or Quantum Ultra Connect setup is performed using VCS. A LinkLicense upgrade for the Quantum Ultra is required to enable communication between the software and the processor.
