Tech Tuesday - QSC Q-SYS Ecosystem - Maximum Control at your fingertips
Welcome to the final episode of our Q-SYS video series! To wrap things up, we are taking a look at one of the vital parts of an AV system - how do we control it all?
Q-SYS can end up being the center point of incredibly complex and vast AV systems depending on the size of space. So the multiple devices and software included in the Q-SYS family are vital to the smooth operation of the entire system.
How it Works
Since Q-SYS is a software-based integration system. There are two parts to the control aspect of it. The first is the physical hardware, and the second is the software side of things. Let’s start with the hardware.
QSC offers a variety of touch screen controllers native to the Q-SYS Ecosystem. These can either be surface mounted, or wall-mounted. Either way, they look very sleek. The interface is incredibly user-friendly, and just like everything else in the land of QSYS, it’s drag and drop integration with the rest of your Q-SYS Ecosystem.
On the software end, the primary software used for controlling the devices is the Q-SYS Designer Software. Which acts as your primary DSP. It is a single application for use with every Q-SYS Core category for projects of any size.
One of the standout features is the software-based Dante network integration. This was developed by QSC in partnership with Audinate, so that audio and video integration can happen all within the Ecosystem, eliminating the need for extra hardware or adaptors. Dante integrates into the Q-SYS AV&C Ecosystem workflow, offering device discovery, synchronization, control and management for Dante audio within the Q-SYS network.

Ideal Use Case
The primary use case for the Q-SYS Ecosystem is meeting rooms and boardrooms, however, just like all good AV solutions the possibilities are endless. The ability for cross-building control from one system allows the Q-SYS system to be the hub of all AV integration throughout an office space if desired. Streamlined, easy to use, modern look and feel, what more could we ask for?
