The Line Out card provides line-level output for devices other than QSC DataPort amplifiers. It is typically installed in an I/O Frame, but can be installed in the Core. The Line Out card converts the processed digital signal to analog and provides software controls before and after the convertor. Connections are made using four three-terminal Euro style connectors.
Type 2 hardware provides new cables and connectors between the I/O cards and main boards in Cores and I/O Frames. Due to this change, the Type 2 hardware is not physically compatible with the older hardware. You can still integrate the new I/O Frames and Cores in the same system with older hardware, but the I/O cards are not interchangeable. Type 2 hardware can be identified by a yellow label on the back of the Core and I/O Frame, and the bottom of the I/O cards.
The controls listed below are divided into sections to match the Control Panel sections. Each control listed in the Analog and Digital sections, are one per channel.
Once you establish the initial settings for a component, you can save those settings, along with all the other component's settings, in a Snapshot.

Status |
Displays the current status of the amplifier both in text and color. The following is a list of possible status colors, and some example conditions. OK – Green – (0) – Audio is good, hardware is good. Compromised – Orange – (1) – Audio is good but a redundancy mechanism is active (one LAN down but the other is still up) or a non-fatal hardware problem exists (fans too slow, temperature higher than expected, etc.) Fault – Red – (2) – Audio is not passing, or hardware is malfunctioning or mis-configured (amplifier power off, audio streams broken, wrong type of I/O Card installed, loudspeaker short circuit, etc.) Missing – Red – (3) – A piece of hardware, defined in the design, has not been discovered. Audio is not passing through that piece of hardware. Initializing – Blue – (5) – In the process of firmware, configuration update, and design start. Audio is obviously bad. Not Present – Gray – A virtual component in the design, that is designated as Dynamically Paired, and Not Required ,has no hardware assigned to it. |

There are no adjustable properties for the Line Out card.
