Latin America. QSC announces the launch of the NV-32-H (Core Capable) multipurpose native network video endpoint for the Q-SYS ecosystem, which now allows you to switch between 'Core Mode', which transforms the device into a fully capable Q-SYS processor with local HDMI switching capability and its existing 'Peripheral Mode', which is designed for networked HDMI video distribution over standard AV networks.
"Our definition of meeting rooms has changed dramatically over the past nine months with an increased need for smaller rooms with collaboration at the forefront. We took this opportunity to reimagine the NV-32-H and develop an all-encompassing multipurpose endpoint that gives integrators flexibility to meet specific room needs, while reducing hardware, especially for rooms where real estate is of an absolute premium, and simplifying integration and optimizing system costs." said Josh Arnold, Senior Product Manager, Installed Systems, QSC.
The NV-32-H's new 'Core Mode' offers a full-featured audio processing engine for the Q-SYS ecosystem, including 32 x 32 channels of network audio, eight AEC channels, a VoIP softphone instance and optional dante-based software support. As with the rest of the Q-SYS processing portfolio, it also features a robust software-based control engine that enables simple control integration for native Q-SYS devices as well as third-party connected devices.
In addition, as the new NV-32-H (Core Capable) is specially designed to support in-room video collaboration spaces, it also offers an integrated 3x2 video switch for locally connected HDMI sources. This feature represents a great saving of time and profitability for meeting rooms and small to medium-sized classrooms that require easy control between room inputs (PCs, BYOD devices, document cameras) and outputs (multiple screens or projectors). Eliminates the need for a standalone switching device and costly integration requirements.
The "Peripheral Mode" switches the device to a multi-stream network video endpoint for HDMI video encoding/decoding for video distribution for the Q-SYS ecosystem. This mode allows video distribution needs within larger collaboration spaces to strike a balance between quality, latency, and network efficiency.
In both "basic mode" and "peripheral mode," the NV-32-H (with basic capability) offers simplified integration for web conferencing applications such as Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom, and Google Hangouts Meet. These devices act as a plug-and-play access point for USB delivery of Q-SYS audio and conference room cameras.
