The Q-SYS network audio, video and control Ecosystem from QSC has capabilities that are so extensive that it can be hard to comprehend all of the things that it can do. Yes, it can serve as your cinema loudspeaker signal processor with crossovers, equalization, delay, and channel routing. But to think of Q-SYS with this … Weiterlesen
Take advantage of free acoustical power: always place subwoofers on the floor behind the screen – NOT on a platform with the screen loudspeakers. Floor-positioned subwoofers take advantage of “half-space” loading, which increases radiated power by about 3 dB, WITHOUT adding any extra amplifier power. Even better: place the subwoofers on the floor AND push … Weiterlesen
It may look like any old VGA video connector, but it’s not. DCA and ISA Series amplifiers and DCP, DCM, and DXP processors use a special QSC connection interface called DataPort, which enables DSP crossovers, speaker-specific EQ, and monitoring and control of amplifier and loudspeaker functions on a single cable. Although many off-the-shelf VGA cables … Weiterlesen
The mid-high frequency section of most 3- and 4-way QSC screen channel loudspeakers has a pre-set downward tilt. When it is properly elevated to approximately 5/8 image height behind the screen and aimed to the last row in a typical stadium-style cinema, there is no need for additional downward tilt. This allows you to minimize … Weiterlesen
All QSC SR Series surround loudspeakers feature Axisymmetric coverage. That means that sound is distributed evenly on all axes within the loudspeaker’s defined coverage angle. Unlike many conventional loudspeakers, there is no vertical and horizontal coverage pattern, so aiming is made much simpler. Up/down tilt and side-to-side “pan” aiming is all that is needed to … Weiterlesen
In den letzten Jahren ist das Wort „nativ“ in der AV-Branche immer mehr zum Synonym für perfekte Plattformintegration und optimales Kundenerlebnis geworden. In der Theorie passen alle Bausteine einer nativen Lösung genau zusammen, wie bei einem Puzzle. Ihre Integration läuft ohne Schwierigkeiten ab, und native Systeme sind weniger fehleranfällig. Allerdings ist... Weiterlesen
Software spielt eine ungemein wichtige Rolle in unserem täglichen Leben. Mit der App auf unserem Smartphone rufen wir uns ein Taxi. Wir telefonieren mit unserer Oma über VoIP oder haben eine virtuelle Sprechstunde beim Arzt. Auf langweiligen Zugfahrten wird durch endlose Mengen Wir können endlose Mengen an Fotos und Ideen auf langweiligen Zugfahrten durchforsten. All dies wird durch Software ermöglicht... Weiterlesen
Die zunehmende Verbreitung von Netzwerk-Video-Distributionssystemen in verbundenen Besprechungsräumen stellt Systemintegratoren und Endanwender vor neue Herausforderungen. Eines der häufigsten Probleme besteht darin, verbundene Videoquellen mit möglichst wenig Aufwand dort anzuzeigen, wo sie benötigt werden. Man muss einige Faktoren beachten, um hierbei eine optimale Nutzererfahrung zu gewährleisten... Weiterlesen
Weil die meisten Unternehmen inzwischen global operieren, besteht ein immer größerer Bedarf an skalierbaren, kostengünstigen Kommunikationswegen, zum Beispiel durch Video-Conferencing. Die Vorteile liegen auf der Hand - bessere Zusammenarbeit und Entscheidungsfindung -, aber die meisten Firmen verwenden noch keine standardisierte Plattform, die für das gesamte... Weiterlesen
We’ve been talking a lot about control these days. Q-SYS Control provides the tools to make the job of the programmer that much easier. Well, we’ve got a new tool for you – Q-SYS Designer Asset Manager, which was added to the latest firmware release of Q-SYS Designer Software (v7.1 or higher). Since I’ve been at … Weiterlesen
Hans G.-M. (H. G.-M.) ist der Erstgeborene. (Falls Sie es noch nicht bemerkt haben, das sind natürlich keine echten Personen. Sorry für das Wortspiel!) Er wuchs um 1900 auf und verbrachte seine jungen Jahre damit, eingängige Musik in Aufzügen zu spielen, um nervöse Fahrgäste zu beruhigen. Dadurch erhielt er den wenig schmeichelhaften Beinamen Hans „Aufzugmusik“ (der ihn bis heute verfolgt)... Weiterlesen
In fast jeder Branche sehen wir heutzutage eine Konsolidierung. Natürlich bieten Fusionen und Übernahmen Chancen, aber sie ziehen auch Veränderungen nach sich. In Zeiten des Wandels müssen Firmen mehr auf Zusammenarbeit setzen, um ihre Firmenkultur zu entwickeln, zu verbessern und zu erhalten. Dabei kann der intelligente Einsatz von AV einen strategischen Vorteil bieten. Die richtige Konferenztechnik ermöglicht es, Besprechungen an mehreren Orten, in mehreren... Weiterlesen
Ever wonder why people avoid pressing that “upgrade firmware” button on their devices? I have a theory … Some people suffer from a basic lack of awareness. They don’t know that a better solution is out there. Some people are busy. They flat-out avoid updates because it might require them to learn something new. Some … Weiterlesen
The term “throw” is perhaps the biggest misnomer in the pro audio industry. The reality is sound does not throw, but “propagates” through the air. The distance over which sound propagates and still remains intelligible basically depends on the ratio of acoustic signal-to-noise at the listener’s location. While many audio pedants (myself included) will cringe … Weiterlesen
Meeting room technology allows companies to be productive, enhance the experience, and involve others in the middle of the decision-making process. For those that need to support the technology, the goal is to deliver a consistent user experience; however, that can be a challenge. In an effort to reduce variables, these teams often create “AV … Weiterlesen
I have spent the last decade on the control programming side of an AV integrator house and worked for another manufacturer. As I step into my new position at QSC, I am using this blog series to share some lessons I’ve learned along the way. I’m here because I have total empathy for your daily … Weiterlesen
Most companies and universities have surprisingly small AV teams yet support hundreds and often thousands of meeting, collaboration, and classrooms across campuses and even across time zones. On top of that, the team includes many disciplines – operations, event management, infrastructure and engineering. Forward thinking AV teams have worked to create a common language and … Weiterlesen
As the industry evolves, integrators and end users will look more to software-based platforms that are simple, flexible and built on the same techniques, standards and protocols with which IT is familiar. Luckily for enterprises everywhere, the QSC Q-SYS Platform is just what they are looking for – a simple and flexible audio, video and control (AV&C) … Weiterlesen
QSC is still on a high from such a successfully InfoComm show. Thank you to everyone that stopped by our booth and demo room! Our goal for the show was to re-calibrate the market on the Q-SYS Platform, its capabilities and innovative characteristics that will help push our industry into a more software-based mindset. Not … Weiterlesen
InfoComm 2016 was a milestone for our industry. It was a monster show where we saw control solutions driven from ‘the cloud’, control companies introducing audio DSP products, audio companies showing video products, and every panelist, blogger and manufacturer could not stop talking about AV/IT convergence! QSC launched the Q-SYS AV-to-USB Bridging solution at that … Weiterlesen
