QSC SLVS-AI-P – Q-SYS VisionSuite AI Perpetual License

Product Overview

The QSC SLVS-AI-P is the perpetual feature license required to activate Q-SYS VisionSuite AI capabilities on a VSA-100 AI Accelerator, enabling computer vision-based presenter tracking and audio-driven Speaker Spotlight in commercial conference rooms, training spaces, and large collaboration environments. This node-locked perpetual license unlocks the VisionSuite AI software on the VSA-100 hardware unit and must be paired with a term-limited VisionSuite update and support license (such as the SLVS-AI-3YR) for ongoing firmware updates. The SLVS-AI-P is the foundational licensing component for any Q-SYS VisionSuite AI deployment.

Product Description

Q-SYS VisionSuite AI combines computer vision with audio-based camera control to deliver automated presenter tracking in meeting and collaboration spaces. The VSA-100 AI Accelerator hardware processes scene analysis data alongside the Q-SYS Core, and the SLVS-AI-P perpetual license is required to activate this capability in any Q-SYS design deployment. VisionSuite AI delivers two primary modes: Speaker Spotlight, which uses Voice Activity Detection (VAD) to dynamically frame the active speaker without preset zones; and Presenter Spotlight, which uses full-body computer vision to create unique digital identifiers for each presenter and enables predictive, fluid camera tracking. Both modes eliminate the need for manual camera operation in high-stakes presentation environments. The SLVS-AI-P is a node-locked perpetual license tied to a specific Q-SYS Core processor; the VSA-100 itself communicates over Ethernet and does not interrupt the video signal chain. Q-SYS Designer Software version 10.0.0 or later is required. The license is activated via QSC's Nodelock model through Core Manager (online) or the QSC Licensing Portal at licensing.qsc.com (offline). VisionSuite AI is certified for Microsoft Teams Rooms (as of February 2026 with Q-SYS Core 24f) and Works with Google Meet (certified January 2025).

Key Features

• Perpetual Feature License — Activates Q-SYS VisionSuite AI on the VSA-100 hardware permanently; no annual renewal required for continued system operation.
• Speaker Spotlight — Audio-driven camera framing using VAD to follow the active speaker dynamically, without preset-based camera positioning.
• Presenter Spotlight — Computer vision analyzes full-body characteristics to create unique presenter identifiers, enabling predictive and fluid camera tracking.
• Voice Activity Detection (VAD) — Protects against false camera triggers from ambient noise sources such as typing, HVAC, or background conversation.
• Full Room Automation — Vision and audio data from the VSA-100 can trigger Q-SYS control events: adjust lighting, activate displays, switch audio routing, or control third-party devices.
• No Signal Chain Impact — The VSA-100 connects via Ethernet only and does not sit in the video signal path.
• Microsoft Teams Rooms Certified — Certified for MTR deployments with Q-SYS Core 24f (February 2026).
• Works with Google Meet — Certified compatibility with Google Meet (January 2025).
• Node-Locked Perpetual License — Tied to a single Q-SYS Core; activated online via Core Manager or offline via licensing.qsc.com.
• Requires SLVS-AI-3YR for Updates — A term-limited update and support license must be purchased alongside SLVS-AI-P to receive firmware and software updates during the coverage period.

Typical Applications

• Conference room — AI-driven presenter tracking for hybrid meeting spaces requiring hands-free, operator-free camera control.
• Boardroom — Speaker Spotlight and Presenter Spotlight for high-visibility executive meetings with remote participants.
• Training room — full-body presenter tracking for instructors moving throughout the room, keeping remote participants engaged.
• All-hands room — automated speaker framing for large-format sessions with multiple presenters and no dedicated camera operator.
• Auditorium — Presenter Spotlight for stage-based presentations, panels, and performances.
• House of worship — automated tracking for speakers, performers, and presenters without camera operator staffing.
• Broadcast studio — computer vision-driven camera automation for live production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need both SLVS-AI-P and SLVS-AI-3YR?

Yes. Q-SYS requires two licenses for any VisionSuite AI deployment with the VSA-100: the SLVS-AI-P perpetual feature license to activate the system, and a term-limited update and support license (such as SLVS-AI-3YR) to receive firmware and software updates during the coverage period. The system continues to function after the update license expires but cannot receive updates.

What hardware does SLVS-AI-P require?

The SLVS-AI-P license requires a VSA-100 Q-SYS VisionSuite AI Accelerator and a Q-SYS Core processor. One VSA-100 supports one room, and one Core is required per room alongside the VSA-100.

What is the minimum Q-SYS Designer Software version?

Q-SYS Designer Software version 10.0.0 or later is required for VisionSuite AI with the VSA-100.

How is the SLVS-AI-P license activated?

Using QSC's Nodelock licensing model: online through Core Manager using the Entitlement ID (EID), or offline through the QSC Licensing Portal at licensing.qsc.com using the Core's Locking ID.

What happens when the SLVS-AI-3YR update license expires?

When the term-limited update license expires, VisionSuite AI continues to operate normally but cannot receive firmware or software updates. To restore update eligibility, renew or purchase a new term update license.

Is SLVS-AI-P compatible with the ACPR plugin (VS-ADV/VS-COM)?

SLVS-AI-P activates VisionSuite AI (Speaker Spotlight and Presenter Spotlight) on the VSA-100. The ACPR plugin (VS-ADV/VS-COM) is a separate, independent plugin that runs on the Q-SYS Core without the VSA-100. Both can coexist in a Q-SYS design.

Is a separate license needed for a redundant backup Core?

Yes. Both the perpetual feature license and the term update license must be activated separately on each Core in a redundant configuration.
