QSC VS-COM – VisionSuite ACPR Plugin Commercial Deployment License

Product Overview

The QSC VS-COM is the Commercial Deployment tier license for the Q-SYS VisionSuite Automatic Camera Preset Recall (ACPR) plugin, providing audio-driven automatic camera switching for standard commercial AV deployments in conference rooms, meeting spaces, and collaboration environments. This node-locked perpetual license runs the ACPR plugin on a Q-SYS Core processor, enabling microphone-triggered PTZ camera preset recall without requiring a VSA-100 AI Accelerator. The VS-COM tier is positioned between the entry-level VS-REV file review license and the fully featured VS-ADV Advanced license, making it suitable for most standard commercial meeting room deployments.

Product Description

The Q-SYS VisionSuite ACPR plugin automates PTZ camera switching in meeting spaces by using horizontal and vertical azimuth data from supported ceiling array microphones to trigger predefined camera preset zones when a participant speaks. The VS-COM Commercial Deployment license activates this plugin on a Q-SYS Core processor for commercial production use, supporting audio-based camera switching across multiple zones and microphone inputs. Compatible microphone platforms include Sennheiser TCC2, Sennheiser TCCM, Shure MXA901, Shure MXA920, Audio-Technica ATND1061, Nureva HDL 310, Nureva HDL 410, Q-SYS NM-T1, and Yamaha RM-CG. The ACPR plugin supports primary/secondary camera pairing, allowing a secondary camera to frame the shot while the primary PTZ repositions — eliminating visible camera movement for far-end participants. Reinforcement microphone mode adds dedicated audio zones for podium or lectern inputs that take switching priority. The VS-COM license is activated via QSC's Nodelock licensing model through Core Manager or the offline QSC Licensing Portal, and is permanently tied to a single Q-SYS Core processor. This license is compatible with Q-SYS Designer Software version 9.10 and later.

• Multi-Zone Configuration — Supports multiple camera preset zones per microphone for coverage of complex room layouts.
• Node-Locked Perpetual License — Permanently activated to a single Q-SYS Core via Nodelock licensing; online and offline activation supported.
• Camera Preview in Designer — Live JPEG camera preview within the plugin interface (Q-SYS Designer 9.9 and later).

Typical Applications

• Conference room — automatic speaker-tracking camera switching for hybrid video conferencing without manual camera control.
• Boardroom — consistent camera framing for executive meetings with remote participants.
• Commercial meeting space — scalable ACPR deployment across standardized multi-room installations.
• Training room — automated camera switching between instructor and participant zones for remote learner engagement.
• Government space — automated camera control for council chambers and public meeting rooms.
• Multi-purpose room — flexible camera preset zones reconfigured to match varying room layouts and use cases.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between VS-COM, VS-ADV, and VS-REV?

VS-COM is the Commercial Deployment tier for standard commercial AV deployments. VS-ADV is the Advanced tier providing the full ACPR feature set with maximum microphone channel and camera capacity. VS-REV is the File Review tier for system designers to review ACPR design files without deploying to hardware.

Does the VS-COM license require a VSA-100?

No. The ACPR plugin runs entirely as a Q-SYS Designer plugin on a compatible Q-SYS Core processor. The VSA-100 is only required for VisionSuite AI features (Speaker Spotlight and Presenter Spotlight).

Which version of Q-SYS Designer Software is required?

The ACPR plugin is compatible with Q-SYS Designer Software version 9.10 and later.

How is the VS-COM license activated?

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

Can I upgrade from VS-COM to VS-ADV later?

Contact QSC or your authorized reseller regarding upgrade path pricing from VS-COM to the VS-ADV Advanced tier.

Is a separate license required for a redundant backup Core?

Yes. A separate ACPR license must be activated on each Q-SYS Core in a redundant configuration.

Which microphones are compatible with the ACPR plugin?

Supported microphones include Sennheiser TCC2 and TCCM, Shure MXA901 and MXA920, Audio-Technica ATND1061, Nureva HDL 310 and HDL 410, Q-SYS NM-T1, and Yamaha RM-CG, plus discrete microphone channel inputs.
