Q-SYS, a division of QSC LLC., announced an update to Q-SYS Reflect. Now an intrinsic part of the Q-SYS Platform, users have access to cloud-based monitoring and management capabilities, including new features and pricing structure allowing for easier deployment and scalability. By adding comprehensive monitoring into a full stack AV platform, customers can harness the exponential power of AI, data and a cloud-manageable architecture of Q-SYS.
In addition, Q-SYS introduced the latest additions to its product portfolio: QIO-FLEX4A, QIO-LVR4 network I/O expanders, and PS-TSCG3 Touchscreen Paging Station kit. These new offerings expand connectivity and control options for a broad range of applications.
Q-SYS Reflect
Q-SYS Reflect offers features such as real-time health monitoring to every connected Q-SYS system, including data for all connected Q-SYS products and third-party devices, to ensure maximum system uptime and performance. It also offers customizable real-time alerts with email and messaging integration. With this addition, users now have a full stack AV platform to proactively assess and maintain an entire AV infrastructure for enhanced decision-making and automation across all AV application and vertical markets tying into a broader IT environment.
Q-SYS Reflect Plus expands on the standard features of Q-SYS Reflect by providing optional enterprise-level remote system management and control capabilities. It allows administrators to directly assist users and systems from any web browser, quickly getting systems up and running. In addition, it offers the ability to configure and adjust system settings remotely, deploy firmware updates, manage files and connect Q-SYS system data to your IT management platforms via the Q-SYS Reflect API for a single-pane-of-glass view into your entire infrastructure. Finally, the pricing structure for Q-SYS Reflect Plus has been reengineered based on the number of Q-SYS systems (rather than connected devices), simplifying the users’ ability to expand the system when necessary.
“We are excited to roll out this improved Q-SYS Reflect offering with features that can drive better outcomes and a pricing structure that makes sense for how our customers do business,” says David Judy, Director, Cloud & Control Product Strategy, Q-SYS. “This provides users with the tools they need to stay ahead of the curve with their systems and adapt to the evolving demands of the AV landscape.”
Q-SYS Network I/O Peripherals and Touchscreen Paging Station
As part of the Q-SYS QIO Series, the QIO-FLEX4A features audio and control I/O in a consolidated network peripheral. It offers four Flex audio channels, GPIO and RS232 serial port to integrate control of third-party peripherals, and two amplifier outputs for compact loudspeakers. Meanwhile, QIO-LVR4 offers four contact closure relays to enable simple control integration of third-party lighting systems, motorized shades, and more.
The PS-TSCG3 Touchscreen Paging Station kit pairs with the TSC-G3 Series touchscreen and the Q-SYS Control engine to enable live paging, pre-recorded message playback, and seamless background music (BGM) management. With its modernized user interface and intuitive controls, it offers a streamlined user experience across transportation, education, hospitality, entertainment, and beyond. This page station solution is available as either a desktop model (PS-TSCG3-G) with a gooseneck microphone and push-to-talk button, or a wall-mount model (PS-TSCG3-H) with a handheld microphone and push-to-talk button.
“By introducing the new solutions, Q-SYS reaffirms our commitment to providing solutions that address industry needs while continuously refreshing our product offerings and serving commercial and entertainment applications,” says TJ Adams, Vice President, Systems Product Strategy and Development, Q-SYS.
