QSC Audio Q-Sys Designer v3.1

QSC Audio has released v3.1 for its Q-Sys Designer Platform, adding Voice-over-IP capabilities and interfacing support for IP PBXs and analogue telephone systems via third-party FXO Gateways. With the update installed, telephone calls may be routed into Q-Sys, or Q-Sys audio may be connected to external phone lines, further enhancing the existing fully-featured conferencing capabilities of the Q-Sys platform.

Key features:

• Options to record paging notifications by dialling in with suitable user PIN and paging access codes, then initiate the playback of the messages across the Q-Sys-controlled network or system.

• Codec hierarchy. Users can now determine the order in which successive lower-quality codecs will be attempted when a higher-quality codec is not supported in the connected system.

• Improved graphical support for buttons and controls, allowing the use of status graphics as well as text, including colours, smilies, ticks and crosses.

• Finer control over individual UCIs (User Control Interfaces, including QSC touchscreen controllers, iPads and iPhones or Windows laptops). This includes the Administrator option of locking down individual UCIs.

• Improvements to the stability and capabilities of the URL Stream Receiver, which is now known as the Media Stream Receiver. Q-Sys Cores (250i, 500i) can handle up 16 simultaneous channels of audio from a video media player, while the larger Cores (from the Core 1000 up) will be capable of managing a maximum of 32 simultaneous channels.

Combined with the Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) algorithm provided in the last major update, v3.1 brings further facilities to boardrooms and other conference applications.

Designed for both small and large-scale venues, Q-Sys applications include stadia and arenas, theme parks, performing arts venues, transportation hubs, corporate boardrooms, convention halls, government facilities, hotels and casinos and houses of worship.
