NV-1-H-WE
The Q-SYS NV-1-H-WE wall-mount HDMI encoder enhances and extends the NV Series network video distribution into flexible and reconfigurable spaces, providing a single platform for network video distribution across every room type. The NV-1-H WE can be used alongside other Q-SYS NV Series network video endpoints, providing system design flexibility. Like all Q-SYS products, the NV-1-H-WE offers native integration into the Q-SYS platform, reducing complexity and accelerating deployment by tightly integrating device configuration, control and audio routing capabilities.
Note: This topic provides an overview of the NV-1-H-WE. For complete specifications, installation documentation, and product drawings, see the NV-1-H-WE product page on the Q-SYS website.

Front Panel
- HDMI In – HDMI 2.0 input with support for HDCP 2.3 and HDCP 1.4.
- Reset Button – (Behind perforated cover, recessed) Use a paper clip, or similar tool, to press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds to reset the NV-1-H-WE to factory values.
- Power / ID LED – Illuminates blue when the NV-1-H-WE is powered on. Blinks green when placed into ID Mode via ID Button or Q-SYS Peripheral Manager. Solid Green indicates valid HDMI input.
- ID Button – (Behind perforated cover) Locates the NV-1-H-WE in Q-SYS Designer Software and Q-SYS Peripheral Manager.
Rear Panel
- LAN / PoE – RJ-45 connector, 2.5GbE, 802.3 at Type 2 Class 4 (30W from PSE, 25.5W at NV-1-H-WE). For connection to Q-LAN.

The NV-1-H-WE uses Q-SYS Shift™ video compression to provide high-quality, low-latency video streaming supporting video formats up to 4k60 4:4:4 over a standard gigabit network. Q-SYS Shift™ leverages DCT and temporal compression technologies, much like those found in H.264 and H.265 video compression codecs. Q-SYS optimized Shift™ to provide flawless image quality from the most demanding content sources. Further, Shift™ intelligently manages and optimizes the resulting network bitrate by only refreshing changes within each frame, allowing for significantly reduced bandwidth usage as compared to other compression codecs.

Scaler
The NV-1-H-WE features a robust 4K60 4:4:4 scaler that can accommodate the most challenging resolution and frame rate conversions from network streams or local HDMI sources. The scaler is capable of operating in three modes (configurable within Q-SYS Designer Software):
- Stretch-to-fit
- Maintain aspect ratio
- 1:1 pixel mapping
