The NV-32-H (Core Capable) is configurable in Core Mode or Peripheral Mode. By default, the NV-32-H (Core Capable) ships from the factory in Peripheral Mode. It's easy to switch modes.

Available Q-SYS Designer inventory components depend on whether the NV-32-H (Core Capable) is configured for Core Mode or Peripheral Mode.

Control

RS-232

Three-pin Euro terminal connection to control third-party devices with Q-SYS Control, user configurable.

GPIO

Three inputs and two outputs for control of third-party devices via Q-SYS Control, user configurable.

USB

USB HID Routing over IP

Support for USB HID sources, including keyboard, mouse, and touchscreen.

Bridging

The NV-32-H can act as an endpoint for the Q-SYS Web Conferencing solution, similar to the Q-SYS Core 110f processor and Q-SYS I/O-USB Bridge. This mode is available in both Core and Peripheral Mode. The NV-32-H emulates a webcam video driver (for video streams from the Q-SYS PTZ-IP conference cameras), AEC speakerphone audio driver and multi-channel soundcard driver over a single, driverless USB connection.

Audio

Network Audio

Use a total network channel count of 32 x 32, including Q-SYS native audio channels or Dante channels (licensable up to 32x32).

HDMI Audio Input

Each HDMI input is able to receive up to eight channels of PCM audio, which are routable within Q-SYS Designer Software.

HDMI Audio Output

Each HDMI output has the ability to output up to eight channels of PCM audio, making each HDMI output a full-featured Q-SYS audio destination for source audio content, or any other Q-SYS audio feature such as paging, audio playback etc.

Analog Audio Input

Mic/line input on a 3.5 mm TRS connector, routable within Q-SYS Designer Software, for direct connection of microphones or audio players.

Analog Audio Output

Line output on a 3.5 mm TRS connector, routable within Q-SYS Designer Software, for direct connection of QSC non-networked amplifiers, external speakers or audio recorders.

Modes

Multicast and unicast

Bitrates

10 Mbps – 800 Mbps

* All video formats are progressive.

Scaler

Each HDMI output features a robust, polymorphic 4K60 4:4:4 scaler that can accommodate the most challenging resolution and frame rate conversions. The scaler on each HDMI output is capable of operating in three modes (configurable within Q-SYS Designer Software):

• Stretch-to-Fit

• Maintain Aspect Ratio

• 1:1 Pixel Mapping

Supports AES-128 encryption for audio and video signals from encoders to decoders as well as 802.1x authentication (available in Q-SYS Designer Software v8.4 or higher).

Content Protection: HDCP 2.2 compliant

In Peripheral Mode only, the NV-32-H is software-configurable in Q-SYS Designer as either an Encoder or Decoder.

Encoder

• Encode one 4K60 HDMI video stream or up to three 1080p HDMI videos streams for distribution across a standard gigabit network.
• Courtesy monitor: Use HDMI Out 1 as a “courtesy monitor”, displaying any of the three locally connected HDMI sources at resolutions up to 4K60.

Decoder

• Decode one 4K60 network stream or up to two simultaneous 1080p60 streams (for dual display rooms) for displaying at formats up to 4K60 on a connected display.
• Local source switching: Toggle between network streams or locally connected HDMI sources (single 4K60 or dual 1080p60 sources).
