Shared Benefits

Fully integrated Q-SYS processor: ‘Core Mode’ enables the same
integrated audio, video and control features as the rest of the Q-SYS
Core portfolio, but with specific I/O and processing capabilities
specifically tuned for video collaboration in small meeting rooms orclassrooms.

Native integration and control: Q-SYS software-based control

Onboard HDMI switch: The 3 x 2 HDMI I/O enables in-room users
to easily share presentation or video content from their laptops orother video sources (video encoding/decoding is unavailable in thismode). Onboard HDMI switching is 3 x 1 @ 4K60 or 3 x 2 @ 1080p.
Consolidated AV functionality: The 1 RU, half-rack unit consolidates
disparate AV functionality to free up physical space and reduce
hardware and installation costs.

allows you to add native Q-SYS devices, including the NV-32-H, toyour system design and route them anywhere on the network withsimple drag-and-drop components.

This simplifies setup,configuration, and firmware management and eliminates the needfor additional hardware or advanced programming knowledge.
Q-SYS web conference integration: The NV-32-H features
built-in connectivity for Q-SYS web conference integration, allowing
for driverless USB connectivity to a PC for plug-and-play access toQ-SYS audio and conference camera feeds from soft codec
applications.
Q-SYS audio integration: The NV-32-H allows audio feeds fromconnected video sources to be routed natively, along with thePeripheral Modevideo stream, to any other endpoint on the network, or use theQuality: The NV-32-H provides high-quality, low latency video
streaming with resolutions of up to 4K60 4:4:4 over a standard
gigabit network.

paging or any other Q-SYS asset.

Network optimized compression scheme: Q-SYS Shift™ video
compression codec actively adjusts network bandwidth resources
according to content, affording massive network savings forcommon meeting room content without compromising on the ability
to stream full-motion video.

HDMI output as a Q-LAN audio destination for source audio,

USB HID Routing over IP: Allows users to connect USB HID
devices (keyboard, mouse or touchscreen) and route the signals
over the network, simplifying installation and reducing costs byremoving equipment from the room.

Single device solution: The NV-32-H is configurable as anencoder or decoder, simplifying the ordering and specification
process and providing flexibility for meeting spaces.
Simultaneous streaming: With 3x HDMI inputs and 2x HDMI
outputs, the NV-32-H enables flexible room design scenarios, suchas simultaneous 1080p60 streaming for dual-monitor rooms, with asingle device. It also enables soft codec applications that support
dual video output.
Local output switching: When set as a decoder, the NV-32-H canprovide local video source selection in addition to displaying content
from network streams.
Test your network: The NV-32-H features a Network Test feature,accessible in Q-SYS Designer Software, that allows you to send fullvideo data loads across your network to check for potential network
configuration issues without needing actual video sources and/or
sinks connected.

Bridging: The NV-32-H can act as an endpoint for theQ-SYS Web Conferencing solution, similar to the Q-SYS
Core 110f processor and Q-SYS I/O-USB Bridge. Thismode is available in both Core and Peripheral Mode. The
NV-32-H emulates a webcam video driver (for video streams
from the Q-SYS PTZ-IP conference cameras), AEC
speakerphone audio driver and multi-channel soundcard
driver over a single, driverless USB connection.

Audio

Analog audio input: Mic/line input on a 3.5 mm TRS
connector, routable within Q-SYS Designer Software, for
direct connection of microphones or audio players.
Analog audio output: Line output on a 3.5 mm TRS
connector, routable within Q-SYS Designer Software, for
direct connection of QSC non-networked amplifiers, external
speakers or audio recorders.
