QSC壮大Q-SYS平台控制产品组合

QSC, Costa Mesa, CA (January 22, 2018) – [De, Fr, Es] – QSC, LLC, today announced expanded control capabilities for its award-winning Q-SYS™ Platform. Designed for the IT and AV professional, the Q-SYS integrated audio, video and control platform offers a reimagined software-focused control paradigm including full-featured contemporary programming tools, native touch screen controllers, drag-and-drop visual programming capabilities, as well as flexible and scalable management and monitoring capabilities needed for today’s enterprise.

• Q-SYS Reflect™技术公告 – Q-SYS Reflect是一个功能强大、使用简单的监控和管理平台，使用现代Web技术，支持对Q-SYS系统进行本地和远程管理。Q-SYS™ Reflect简化了多个Q-SYS系统的管理，其架构可以随着IT/AV集成商、程序员、管理员和最终用户的不断变化的需求而发展。
• Software-Based Control Feature Licensing – Rather than requiring dedicated control hardware programmed with partial, proprietary or outdated methodologies, Q-SYS delivers modern control capabilities with optional software licensing that is simple to deploy and easy to manage.
• Integrated Q-SYS Touch Screen Controllers – The new TSC-G2 Series touch screen controllers offer native integration with the Q-SYS Platform without requiring a dedicated control processor to operate.

“The Q-SYS Control expansion is a testament to development principles of the Q-SYS Platform, which is keeping a firm technology alignment with the IT industry and focus on software-based functionality advances,” says Markus Winkler, Senior Vice President, QSC Systems. “We have used software within Q-SYS to introduce AEC processing, conference room video camera switching, and the industry’s first real-time AV&C software deployment on commercial off-the-shelf IT hardware. Software-based control is the ideal next step in offering the most flexible and scalable IT/AV platform on the market.”

Q-SYS Reflect

Q-SYS Reflect是针对Q-SYS生态系统的全新管理平台，旨在满足IT/音视频系统管理员轻松监听音箱和管理其音视频系统的基本需求，将提供两个不同的版本。Q-SYS Reflect Core Manager在Q-SYS Core处理器上原生运行，为Q-SYS硬件上的常见IT相关任务提供了更安全的界面。Q-SYS Reflect 将该网络平台扩展到云，并提供了一个托管解决方案来监听音箱和管理多个Q-SYS系统，包括Core处理器和外围设备。无论音视频资产分布在一座建筑内还是整个跨国企业中，Q-SYS Reflect都可以提供重要的实时数据和见解，可以用于监控、诊断和故障排查。

“We recognize that our customers want to avoid bloated management systems that require extraneous setup and deployment complexities, and will not settle for rough bolt-on AV modifications to existing building asset managers,” says Martin Barbour, Product Manager for Installed Systems, QSC. “Q-SYS Reflect will address those needs by providing streamlined setup and configuration with security and manageability at the forefront of the user experience.”

QSC最初将Q-SYS™ Reflect作为托管云解决方案提供。在未来的产品功能更新中，QSC将提供强大的API，允许用户根据需要将Reflect与其他企业管理应用和仪表板连接或集成。

Barbour adds, “When this technology reaches its fullest stage of maturity, it will be the first platform of its kind to deliver a holistic, global view of Q-SYS systems in a format that IT professionals have come to expect from their IT infrastructure.”

UCI and Custom Scripting Deployment with Flexible Software Feature Licensing

The Q-SYS UCI Editor is an easy to use, drag-and-drop design tool that allows users to create custom, robust UCIs for native Q-SYS touch screen controllers, all without the need for any previous programming experience. This streamlined design tool dramatically improves efficiency in the traditional AV control design and commissioning workflow.

For installations that require more complex control integration, the Q-SYS Scripting Engine allows control plugins and scripts to easily integrate third-party devices with the Q-SYS Platform. It also provides the backbone for new Controller components that allow users to create custom scripts using modern, accessible scripting languages including Lua, an open-source, IT friendly programming language.

During AV system design development and testing, the full functionality of the Q-SYS Designer Software, including the Q-SYS UCI Editor and the Q-SYS Scripting Engine, are included at no cost while running in “emulation mode”. When it comes time to deploy a system design to the Q-SYS Core processor, users can selectively and securely enable control-related features as needed on their Q-SYS Core processors using new node-locked, perpetual software licenses.

Drag-and-Drop Visual Code Editor 

For the novice programmer or IT professional just getting started with AV programming, or the seasoned AV professional doing rapid prototyping, the new Q-SYS Block Controller component leverages the power of the Q-SYS Scripting Engine and includes a state-of-the-art visual programming tool that brings modern software design paradigms to the AV programming industry.

Based on technology initially developed by Google and MIT and currently deployed commercially in dozens of products and platforms, this open source visual programming tool uses interlocking, graphical blocks to represent common code programming concepts including logical expressions, loops and more. This approach to simple and rapid code creation and editing allows for the composition of simple or sophisticated AV scripts while ensuring that the generated code is always syntactically correct.

New TSC-G2 Series Touch Screen Controllers

These modern capacitive PoE LCD touch screens are native to the Q-SYS Platform, equipped with IPS technology for incredible off-axis viewing, and require no dedicated control hardware to operate. TSC-G2 Series is available in four new sizes – 4.7", 5.5", 8.0" and 11.6" – and offer wall mount options and table top stand accessories.
