The Q-SYS™ Core 510i processor is an audio, video and control processing system that leverages Intel™ CPUs and motherboards as well as a dedicated, Linux™ realtime operating system developed by Q-SYS to provide class-leading capabilities for AV systems of any scale.

The Q-SYS Core 510i processor offers the most flexible audio I/O of any Q-SYS Core, perfect for applications that require a diversity of analog, digital and networked audio connectivity. It features eight onboard I/O card slots that can be populated with any combination of Q-SYS Type-II I/O card allowing diverse connectivity options.

Features & Benefits

  • 256 x 256 networked audio channels (Q-LAN / AES67)
  • Configurable onboard I/O via 8 open Q-SYS IO Cards slots
  • 64 x AEC processors
  • Supports up to 14x Q-SYS NM-T1 network microphones
  • up to 128 x 128 Dante audio channels (8 x 8 included)
  • Full-featured Q-SYS Control engine (with optional feature license)
  • 16 x 16 GPIO

Q-SYS Operating System: Audio, video and control processing on a dedicated Linux™ realtime OS, built using standard computer hardware and IT industry networking protocols.

Diverse I/O Options: Q-SYS Core processing in a flexible chassis featuring 8 onboard I/O card slots that can be populated with any combination of Q-SYS I/O cards, including bridge networks like Dante™ for maximum flexibility.

Q-SYS Core Mode: Provides an abundance of raw processing power for all audio, video and control processing requirements including integration with the new Q-SYS AV-to-USB Bridging solution and onboard acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) processing, allowing the ability to manage multiple small- to mid-sized conference spaces or a single large space.

I/O Frame Mode: Offers the ability to integrate up to 128 x 128 audio channels in to the Q-SYS system for processing on a separate Q-SYS Core processor.

External Device Control: Control and interface with external devices using TCP/IP, RS232 and GPIO.

Peripheral Integration: The catalog of Q-SYS networked peripheral devices include amplifiers, touchscreen controllers, paging stations, I/O channel expanders, network cameras, network microphones and network loudspeakers. 

Unified Software Platform: The integrator has a single training investment in one software design tool rather than needing to learn several platforms to scale from small to large systems. The Q-SYS Platform also allows for faster compliance with changing security environments.
