Latin America. The Q-SYS ecosystem now provides Dante network audio integration. As part of a strategic joint development effort with Audinate, QSC leveraged Intel's open architecture and processing margin of Q-SYS to expand its audio integration capabilities to include Dante.
In keeping with QSC's commitment to software-based platform expansion, these optional software licenses will allow integrators to size and scale the appropriate Dante channel count to new and existing Q-SYS installations.
Among its features are:
Simple integration into the Q-SYS ecosystem: Allows you to add Dante network audio to your Q-SYS system without network I/O cards or additional hardware. Dante integrates into the Q-SYS AV&C ecosystem workflow, offering discovery, synchronization, control and device management for Dante audio within the Q-SYS network, along with native Q-LAN and AES67 and other edge networks such as AVB and CobraNet.
Software-based upgrades and scalability: The Q-SYS ecosystem will enable Dante integration with a simple software update. All new Q-SYS Core 110f processors will include 8 x 8 channels of Dante network audio at no additional cost, with additional tiered licensing options for higher Dante channel counts. This will reduce the need for I/O hardware customization and allow integrators to keep costs down, particularly when upgrading or expanding existing systems.
