QSC has introduced the Q-Sys DSP networking system at InfoComm 2009 in Orlando. Q-Sys provides digital audio signal routing and processing technology combined with system monitoring and control.
Q-Sys architecture produces a total system latency of less than 2.5 milliseconds between any input and output, with up to 10 network switch hops and processing throughout.
The Q-Sys Core is available in three sizes ranging from 64 inputs x 64 outputs to 256 inputs x 256 outputs, the Q-Sys Core works in tandem with Q-Sys I/O Frames: 1 RU modules that accommodate up to 16 channels of audio using factory-configured, four-channel Q-Sys cards supplying a range of input and output options.
The use of AES cards can permit up to 32 channels of audio in a single Q-Sys Node. Just like the Q-Sys Core, I/O Frames are equipped with dual Ethernet ports to support network and system redundancy.
Using the appropriate output cards and Q-Sys is compatible with any analogue-input power amplifier or powered loudspeaker.
