IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS The lighting flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous” voltage within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to humans. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in this manual.
Unpacking Connections There are no special unpacking precautions. However, it is recommended that you keep the original packing materials for reuse in the rare event that service is required.
Minimum System Requirements for Q-Sys™ Designer Quick Start Guide Q-Sys Designer is the software with which you create the designs for a Q-Sys system. After the system is designed, tested and deployed on the Core, Q-Sys designer is not required for that system to operate. Q-Sys Designer runs in a PC environment with the following minimum requirements. This is intended to give a high-level procedure for getting a simple Q-Sys system connected, running a Q-Sys design, and passing audio.
Introduction Integrated System Overview Q-Sys is an integrated system designed to work with QSC DataPort amplifiers and QSC loudspeakers and other QSC products to provide system-level telemetry and control. Q-Sys can also be configured with generic amplifiers and/or generic loudspeakers, but there is a loss of functionality when not using QSC compatible hardware. Q-Sys™ is an integrated system audio solution.
Q-Sys™ Core 1000 | Core 3000 | Core 4000 Panel Features Q-Sys™ I/O Frame Panel Features The image below shows the Q-Sys Core 1000, Core 3000 and Core 4000 front panel features for a product having a sample configuration of one blank I/O Card. The images below show the Q-Sys I/O Frame front and rear panel features for a product having a sample configuration of two Mic / Line Input Cards and two DataPort I/O Cards.
Q-Sys™ I/O Card Install/Uninstall Procedure Qualified Ethernet Switches Card installation should only be done by a trained and qualified technician. Q-Sys uses layer 3 (DSCP) QoS. This type of QoS is deployed differently on different networks and therefore requires user intervention to set up properly. Because of this complexity, unmanaged switches are not acceptable for Q-Sys. For more details about network setup, refer to the Help File in Q-Sys Designer.
