“The NanoQube series is designed for use in broadcast-quality video and audio production, post-production, playout and head-end facilities,” states Preco’s Commercial Manager, Sarah Lenson. “It includes a versatile selection of component products from which reliable signal interfacing and distribution systems of practically any size can be configured quickly and cost-efficiently.”
“Each NanoQube module is housed in a quarter-rack-width metal case which contributes to very efficient electronic screening,” details Preco’s Director of Engineering and Technology, James Thomas. “Up to four modules can be accommodated in one unit of rack space. All NanoQube modules come with internal power supplies, eliminating the need for external power adapters, and are fully compatible with the Census Digital Qubes half-rack-width product range.”
