Q-SYS (QSC)

Q-SYS by QSC

Software-based audio, video, and control platform running on QSC hardware.

Programming

  • Q-SYS Designer: Drag-drop signal flow design and control scripting
  • Lua scripting: Custom logic and third-party integrations
  • UCI (User Control Interface): Touch panel design built into Designer

Key Products

  • Core 110f: Small DSP/controller for meeting rooms
  • Core 510i: Mid-size processor
  • Core 5200: Large enterprise processor
  • NV Series: AV-over-IP endpoints
  • Ceiling mics, speakers, cameras: Native Q-SYS ecosystem

Communication

  • Q-LAN for audio/video transport
  • QRC (Q-SYS Remote Control) protocol
  • Dante and AES67 support
  • Standard TCP/UDP for external control

Key Considerations

  • Software-based licensing model (some features require licenses)
  • Unified platform: audio + video + control + UC in one ecosystem
  • Active community and free training (Q-SYS Training)
  • Strong integration with Teams/Zoom room certifications
