Just in case you missed it, here\u2019s a breakdown of our live demonstration of the new Q-SYS\u2122 AV-to-USB Bridging solution<\/a><\/span> at Infocomm 2016.<\/p>\n

To set the stage, we had two practical conference rooms positioned on either side of the booth. Both fit six to seven people and connected via Skype for Business\u2122.<\/p>\n

We started by re-introducing last year\u2019s Q-SYS conferencing solution:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Q-SYS Core 110f <\/span><\/a>\u2013 with 24 I\/Os plus USB, POTS, and VoIP you\u2019ve got a lot of capabilities in a single chassis product.<\/li>\n
  2. TSC-7t Tabletop Touch Screen Controlle<\/span>r<\/a> \u2013 you may be using as a simple dialer, or enlist more complex room control including video source select, lighting and blind control, etc.<\/li>\n
  3. SPA Series ENERGY STAR\u00ae amplifier<\/a><\/span> \u2013 offers two or four channels which you know is the sweet spot for the conference room.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Next, we asked the attendees how they might add video camera capabilities to this room. Something that pairs with the current soft codec application that\u2019s running in your conference room.<\/p>\n

    Good Technology, Bad Implementation \"blog<\/a>
    \n<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    One option is an average USB-based camera, which is great for personal use but has real limitations in the corporate setting. You have cable length limitations (10-15 feet max), not to mention you can\u2019t terminate in the field! And you probably need to add a third-party USB extender, which is expensive, hard to manage, and unpredictable with some devices.<\/p>\n

    Then there\u2019s the HDMI-based camera, which comes with similar cable limitations, and you\u2019ll need an additional line to run power. USB and HDMI are point-to-point solutions, so if you need multiple cameras or multiple endpoints for BYOD, you\u2019re again stuck with adding more equipment to an already crowded credenza.<\/p>\n

    Enter The Q-SYS AV-to-USB Bridging Solution<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    With our demo, we pointed out the TSC-7t<\/a><\/span> on the conference table and the Q-SYS PTZ-IP based conference camera<\/a><\/span> mounted to the wall and detailed how we solved the traditional USB\/HDMI limitations with an IP-based platform \u2013 the AV-to-USB Bridging solution<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    This solution uses USB and networking in a smarter way. It uses standard network equipment for long run transport, and USB for short transport. The Q-SYS conference cameras and bridging devices connect to the network via CAT-5 or higher and the end points (BYOD user PC or rackmount PC) access the Q-SYS audio and video stream via USB connection on either Q-SYS bridging device.<\/p>\n

    QSC even offers a few different choices for bridging devices – the Q-SYS I\/O-USB Bridge<\/a><\/span>, which easily mounts next to a rackmount PC or under a table, or the Q-SYS TSC-7t tabletop controllers, which comes with a Micro-USB access point for easy tabletop access.<\/p>\n

    Just like that, we showed showgoers how the AV-to-USB Bridging solution eliminates those painful extenders or patchwork solutions you\u2019re probably using now.<\/p>\n

    Network-to-Many Paradigm
    \n<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Since these devices are networked, they transform the standard conferencing paradigm of \u201cpoint-to-point connectivity\u201d into a \u201cnetwork-to-many\u201d paradigm. This allows you to install as many Q-SYS conference cameras in a room as you want, and as many Q-SYS bridging devices as you need, without an additional matrix switcher.<\/p>\n

    The cherry on top is the PoE connectivity for both Q-SYS conference camera and bridge. You don\u2019t need to run separate power if you don\u2019t want to!<\/p>\n

    What Did Attendees Have to Say?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    We showed this demo to a few hundred people over the three-day show and received a lot of positive response.<\/p>\n

    An AV Engineering Manager for an IV League School was among the impressed parties. For him, \u201chaving a device that can sit on the network and easily extend to other endpoints makes it look like a beneficial and easy-to-use solution.\u201d<\/p>\n

    The USB camera is ideal for his environment. \u201cThe bane of our existence with today\u2019s web conferencing trends is trying to extend USB. Having a solution that can extend a USB camera and high-quality audio over the network makes it very attractive,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
