Control – Touch Screen ControllersQSC offers multiple models of network capacitive PoE touchscreens. Each has a fully customizable User Control Interface (UCI), which you design with the Q-SYS UCI Editor (see User Control Interface (UCI) Design Overview). The Status/Control (Touch Screen) components provide the connection between the physical touchscreen and the Q-SYS Designer Software UCI.
Paging StationsAvailable with either gooseneck or handheld microphone (push to talk), the Q-SYS Networked Page Station is a dual-port network device that is fully configurable from Q-SYS Designer. Each station connects to a Q-SYS system via Q-LAN, which handles all audio deliveries to and from the station. The Page Station Expander (PS-X) plugs into the rear of any Q-SYS Page Station via Cat 5e cable and provides an additional handheld microphone.
AccessoriesQ-SYS accessories are non-network system add-ons for mission-critical installations and life safety requirements. You can add auto-switching power amplifier redundancy (up to eight channels per accessory) and automated verification of loudspeaker line integrity, even in real time.
Accessories
|
The Pilot Tone Load Accessory, used in combination with QSC DataPort or CXD platform amplifiers, allows the Q-SYS system to monitor shorts, opens, and other faults in a loudspeaker line, even in real time. |
|
|
The DataPort Amplifier Backup Panel provides the ability to add true N+1 amplifier redundancy to any Q-SYS system, plus the ability to automatically switch amplifier input sources from a primary I/O Frame to a backup I/O Frame. |
