The Q-Sys Q-LAN Network The Q-Sys solution (Figure 4) is designed to be deployed on QSC’s high performance Q-LAN network. Q-LAN is a proprietary network implementation that bundles several industry standard protocols into a data transport solution appropriate for live performance multimedia environments. Q-LAN offers gigabit data rates, device and network redundancy, 32-bit floating point audio data transfers, and low-latency support on local area network deployments.
Unpacking 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.
Mounting the TSC-8 in an Existing Wall or Podium This procedure covers mounting the Back Box with Flange in an existing wall or podium. CAUTION!: Before cutting the mounting hole, make sure that there is nothing behind the wall/podium that can be damaged during the cutting operation. Ensure that there is enough space surrounding the unit to provide adequate ventilation. Refer to Figure 5 and Packing Lists on page 10. 1. Determine the location where the hole for the TSC-8 is to be cut.
Mounting the TSC-8 in a Wall Under Construction NOTE: The studs in the wall where the TSC-8 is to be mounted, must be no more than 15 1/2 in (393 mm) from inside edge to inside edge. The minimum distance is 9 1/4 in (235 mm) between inside edges. This procedure is for mounting the TSC-8 in a wall where the studs are still exposed; the drywall has not yet been installed. Refer to Figure 6 and Packing Lists on page 10. 1.
16. After wall construction is complete (including texture and paint), install the Flange (6) into the Back Box using six screws (7). Make sure that the Flange is tight up against the drywall. The Flange will go into the Back Box only one way due to the placement of the screw holes. 17. Optional. Install four screws (8) (not supplied) to secure the Flange to the mounting surface. 18. Mount the touchscreen to the Flange. Refer to “"Mounting the Touchscreen to the Flange" on page 13.
Computer Requirements & Software Installation Configuration of the TSC-8 requires a Q-Sys Core Processor and a PC running Q-Sys Designer software. The latest version of Q-Sys Designer may be downloaded from the QSC website (http://www.qscaudio.com/). Additionally, all Q-Sys Core Processors include a Q-Sys Designer CD-ROM.
Using the Status Page The Status Page provides status information, and a number of controls. To access the Status Page: • If the unit is not running a design, tap the screen once. • If the unit is running a design, click the ID button in either the Status component in Q-Sys Designer, or the Q-Sys Configurator.
