Extron has announced an update to its EMS Express Mobile Software for Quantum Ultra, adding live content preview and full compatibility with the latest Quantum IN4DTP3 and OUT4DTP3 cards. With EMS version 1.8 and Quantum Ultra firmware 6.03, users can now view live and static source content directly within the EMS interface, intended to simplify the process of designing presets and visualising current status across complex videowall configurations.
Other recent enhancements include expanded user account support, now accommodating up to 50 login accounts with unique usernames and passwords across three access levels – Admin, Designer and User – making it easier to manage large teams by defining who can configure systems, design layouts or operate the videowall.
Canvas capacity has also been doubled from 10 to 20, enabling users to control up to 20 videowalls with different resolutions and screen arrangements from a single Quantum Ultra or Quantum Ultra II system. Administrators can assign permissions and manage source access for each canvas.
EMS-Quantum Ultra combines wireless control with a tablet application operated using familiar finger gestures, including drag and drop, pinch, zoom, swipe and tap, facilitating preset selection, window size and position and other common tasks. It can work in tandem with Extron Videowall Configuration Software (VCS) and a control system.
Casey Hall, chief marketing officer at Extron, said: “The latest EMS-Quantum Ultra update reflects our commitment to delivering smarter, more intuitive tools for AV professionals. With features like live content preview and seamless DTP3 integration, we’re empowering users to manage even the most dynamic videowall environments with greater ease and precision.”
