Q-SYS by QSC — Integrated Audio, Video & Control Platform

Q-SYS is QSC's software-based, networked AV platform — a single Core processor handles audio DSP, video routing, conferencing, and room control together, instead of stacking a separate audio processor, video switcher, and control system in the same rack. Creation Networks stocks the current Q-SYS hardware line, from the Core Nano through enterprise-scale Core 5200 processors, plus NV Series AV-over-IP, NC Series conference cameras, CX-Q network amplifiers, and TSC touch controllers.

Q-SYS Core Processor Comparison

Core Processors

Every Q-SYS device on the network is driven by a Core processor running Q-SYS OS — the same software platform scales from a single huddle room up to an entire building. In stock: the Core Nano for small spaces, the Core 8 Flex for rooms needing local analog I/O alongside the network, the Core 510i Kit with modular I/O cards — including CIML4 mic/line input cards, COL4 line output cards, and CAES4 digital I/O cards — plus the enterprise-scale Core 5200 and the high-capacity Server Core X50r.

NV Series — AV-over-IP Video

NV Series endpoints move 4K video over standard network infrastructure instead of dedicated HDMI-over-CAT runs, and integrate directly with Q-SYS Core processing rather than sitting as a separate system. The NV-32-H handles 4K60 4:4:4 video and can run Core-capable processing locally, while the NV-21-HU adds a USB-C connection for bringing a laptop's video and audio into the Q-SYS ecosystem at a huddle-room table.

NC Series — Conference Cameras

Q-SYS conference cameras route directly into Core processing over the network, rather than connecting as a standalone USB peripheral. Options in stock include the NC-110 ePTZ camera for small and medium rooms, the NC-12x80 with 12x optical zoom for larger rooms, and the NC-20x60 with 20x optical zoom for auditoriums and large boardrooms, along with a ceiling mount bracket for either PTZ model.

CX-Q Network Amplifiers

CX-Q amplifiers are Q-SYS-native network peripherals — no separate DSP or control wiring, since amplifier channels, levels, and monitoring are all managed from the same Q-SYS design as everything else in the room. The lineup in stock covers CX-Q 2K4, CX-Q 4K4, CX-Q 8K4, CX-Q 4K8, and CX-Q 8K8, scaling from four channels at 500W to eight channels at 1000W per channel.

TSC Touch Screen Controllers

PoE-powered capacitive touch panels for room control, scheduling, and one-touch meeting start — sized for different mounting locations. In stock: the TSC-50-G3 (5"), TSC-70-G3 (7"), and TSC-101-G3 (10").

The Q-SYS Software Platform

What separates Q-SYS from a rack full of separate boxes is the software layer underneath the hardware:

• Q-SYS Designer Software — drag-and-drop system design and programming with no per-seat license fee, so a system can be designed, simulated, and updated without buying additional software.
• Q-SYS Open — a set of standard protocols and developer tools that let third-party devices and custom scripts integrate directly into a Q-SYS design instead of bridging in through a separate control system.
• Q-LAN — the audio-over-IP networking layer that moves audio between Q-SYS devices over standard gigabit Ethernet.
• Q-SYS Reflect — cloud-based remote monitoring and fleet management across every Q-SYS Core on the network, useful for organizations managing rooms across multiple buildings or sites.

How to Choose a Q-SYS Core Processor

• Room count and scale — a single huddle room needs a Core Nano; a building with dozens of rooms on one network is a Core 5200 or Server Core X50r conversation.
• Local analog I/O needs — if a room has existing analog microphones, speakers, or a paging system to integrate, Core 8 Flex or Core 510i with I/O cards keep that hardware in play; a network-only Core Nano assumes everything is already networked audio.
• Video requirements — rooms moving 4K video over the network alongside audio and control call for NV Series endpoints paired with the Core rather than a separate video matrix.
• Multi-site management — organizations with rooms across several locations benefit from Q-SYS Reflect for centralized monitoring rather than managing each Core individually.
• Growth plans — Q-SYS Cores can be networked together as a facility grows, so starting with the right processor for current needs (rather than over-buying) is usually the more practical path.

Why Creation Networks for Q-SYS

Our CTS-D certified engineers design Q-SYS systems in Q-SYS Designer before installation — signal flow, control logic, and camera/microphone placement planned against your actual room dimensions, not assembled on-site from a parts list. We handle Core processor selection, I/O card configuration, programming, commissioning, and ongoing support, including setting up Q-SYS Reflect monitoring for organizations managing systems across multiple rooms or locations.
