Le logiciel Q-SYS Designer est le plus puissant et le plus avancé des logiciels de conception de traitement numérique du signal disponible actuellement sur le marché. Ce logiciel permet à l'utilisateur de créer des conceptions pour le système natif de la plate-forme Q-SYS et prend également en charge l'intégration de l’ensemble du Q-SYS Ecosystem. L’environnement de conception du système a été spécifiquement créé pour être intuitif et facile d’utilisation. Il n’accumule pas de menus complexes arrangés sur plusieurs niveaux. Il en résulte que le logiciel permet aux intégrateurs de systèmes de concentrer leur énergie sur la construction du système audio plutôt que de perdre du temps à apprendre un logiciel complexe.
- Un logiciel pour toutes les tailles de système : Le logiciel Q-SYS Designer est une application unique pour une utilisation avec toutes les catégories de Q-SYS Core sur des projets de toutes les tailles.
- Mode émulation : Construisez la plus grande partie de votre système sans recours au matériel lui-même.
- Compatibilité avec les périphériques tiers : Q-SYS permet le contrôle des appareils externes par l’utilisation d’un script en LUA.
- Interfaces de contrôle utilisateur : Concevez des boutons personnalisés, importez des visuels, ajoutez une protection par code PIN de l’UCI comme couche supplémentaire de protection et construisez des contrôles utilisateur pour les contrôleurs à écran tactile.
Remarque : Avant de procéder à une mise à jour, assurez-vous de faire des copies de sauvegarde de vos fichiers de conception Q-SYS pour la version actuelle et les versions précédentes. Effectuez aussi des sauvegardes de tous vos fichiers média présents sur le Core. Pour éviter d’écraser vos copies de sauvegarde, assurez-vous de ne pas ouvrir les copies de sauvegarde avec la nouvelle version installée du logiciel Q-SYS Designer.
Updated Features v9.9
Support for Q-SYS NV-21-HU Network Video Endpoint
- Introducing the next evolution for native Q-SYS video distribution, now supported in your Q-SYS designs.
- The NV-21-HU is a software-configurable endpoint offering a comprehensive single-cable solution for video distribution, AV bridging, and device charging via USB-C.
1. No direct audio support for DisplayPort alt-mode (USB-C Video Path):
NV-21-HU can send audio through two paths of the USB-C connection; the first method is the USB 3.0 path; this is how the 2x2 Soundcard and 1x1 Speakerphone are routed for AV Bridging (AV bridging license required). The second method is through the “DisplayPort alt-mode path,” where the video is routed. In Q-SYS Designer Software v9.8.1, there is no audio support through the DisplayPort alt-mode path in. (This will be resolved in an upcoming software release.)
For the time being, use the USB Soundcard to pass audio in DisplayPort alt-mode. This method will require activating an AV Bridging feature license for each NV-21-HU that requires this functionality (see diagram below).
2. AV Bridging Maximum Resolution: The NV-21-HU video bridge will present a maximum resolution of 720p30 YUY2 to a connected computer/UC application. This will not limit its compatibility with any applications.
3. AV Bridging in Decoder Mode: To support AV Bridging, when the NV-21-HU is in Decoder Mode, incoming AV streams should be limited to a maximum resolution of 1080p.
4. AV Bridging in Encoder Mode: To support AV Bridging, when the NV-21-HU is set in Encoder mode, AND the local HDMI output is needed, the video source input (HDMI or USB-C) cannot exceed a maximum resolution of 1080p. The video source input (HDMI or USB-C) can support up to 4K60 if the local HDMI output is not needed.
Q-SYS Video
- NV-32-H Core Mode Streaming feature license enables simultaneous functionality on the NV-32-H (Core Capable), offering Core processing and network video encoding/decoding, streamlining installations while lowering product and installation costs.
- Automatically frame near-end subjects– NC Series cameras can now automatically frame all people detected in the field-of-view, further enhancing meeting equity by ensuring that the far-end always sees a properly framed camera shot.
- Additional CEC Controls for HDMI display devices: Adds CEC-enabled control over Power, Input Select, Volume control and custom CEC command support for HDMI devices connected to an NV Series encoder/decoder.
Scale up your Core 610 Capabilities
- Core 610 Scaling License increases processing power to enable additional network channels, Media/WAN streaming channels, AEC channels and Q-SYS NM Series microphone capacity.
- Integrate up to 256 x 256 Dante network channels with new Software-based Dante license tier for the Core 610.
Q-SYS Reflect Enterprise Manager
- Extended API for deeper integration with third-party monitoring tools: All information on the Assets page is available via API along with Audit Log information, which includes information related to adding/removing users and permission levels (allowing for unauthorized use monitoring within their own toolset.)
- Receive Alerts and Notifications to your messaging tool of choice: Webhook based notifications streamline communications for support staff. Includes support for Microsoft Teams, Slack, ServiceNow and more.
Other Platform Enhancements
- Software-based Dante optimized for 1 ms latency: Easier integration into mixed-protocol environments, providing parity with other audio over IP transports. (Note that the Core 6000 CXR or Core 5200 with more than 64 channels of Dante may result in latencies above 1 ms; further optimization is ongoing).
- View product serial numbers in Core Manager and Peripheral Manager: Ensure support staff has quick access to warranty information.

Q-SYS Designer Software v9.9.0
Released August 31, 2023
UPGRADE NOTICE: If you are upgrading from Q-SYS Designer Software v9.3.x or earlier, please see the Release Notes for new upgrade path requirements applicable to Q-SYS Designer Software v9.9.0
Q-SYS Designer Software v9.4.5 LTS (long-term support)
Released March 29, 2023
The long-term support version provides critical bug fixes and security updates, plus compatibility with minor revisions of supported hardware, while maintaining the feature-set of Q-SYS Designer Software v9.4. This version will be supported for 24 months from the date of release or until the promotion of a new release to LTS status.
Users using Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series or similar switches that don't support 10Mbps are not recommended to upgrade Q-SYS Designer Software and Core firmware to 9.4.4 or above (9.5 and 9.6). We have discovered an issue with Q-SYS TSC Series Gen 1 and Gen 2 touch panels running 9.4.4 or above while having the LAN port connected to a network switch port which does not support 10 Mbps. Q-SYS TSC Series Gen 1 or Gen 2 touchscreen controllers connected in this way may become inoperable and require a connection to a 10 Mbps switch in order to downgrade firmware to a previous version and become functional again.
Users using Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series or similar switches that don't support 10Mbps are not recommended to upgrade Q-SYS Designer Software and Core firmware to 9.4.4 or above (including 9.5, 9.6 and 9.7).

New Media File Management API
Provides more modern, secure methods of managing audio files and playlists on Cores running Q-SYS v9.0.0 and higher.
Please keep in mind:
- The existing “/media” audio file management API that you may be using was deprecated with the release of v9.5. Please note that the FTP Server capability was deprecated at the same time.
- If you intend on using these new Media File Management APIs, look to future Q-SYS Designer Release Notes for details on changes and improvements as they arrive.
