New Full Stack AV Platform from Q-SYS later in 2025

28/05/2025

Q-SYS unveils a significant release featuring Q-SYS Designer Software v10, new Core processors, VisionSuite Accelerator, enhanced design tools, and upgraded reporting capabilities for Q-SYS Reflect. Each new release substantiates layers of innovation within the Q-SYS Full Stack AV Platform—advancing a paradigm-shifting technology approach that empowers AV systems to deliver real-time action, data-driven insight, and greater flexibility to meet the demands of customers and modern spaces.

A full stack AV platform is a forward-looking technology approach based on well-established IT architecture principles, including multimodal I/O, a cognitive cloud, and an intelligent platform OS. As applied to the AV industry, this approach replaces disparate, bespoke systems with a unified foundation of connective technologies that grow with the customer needs and provides easy additions as new and innovative technologies become available.

“Q-SYS is changing the game by delivering the industry’s most innovative full stack AV platform,” said Jatan Shah, President, QSC. “By unifying data, devices, and a cloud-first architecture, we help organizations maximize long-term value, scale with ease, and deliver real-time action and insight across high-performance corporate, hospitality, entertainment, and public environments.”

Expanding Processing Options and Simplified Licensing

The singular Q-SYS Intelligent Platform OS now drives three new Q-SYS Core processors, expanding the portfolio and enabling right-sized options for every application:

  • Q-SYS Core 24f redefines the integrated AV&C processor category established by the Core 110f, improving upon its unique blend of processing power (2x DSP processing), onboard I/O support, network I/O capacity (160 x 160), AV bridging support, and integrated control engine with support for 96 peripherals.
  • Q-SYS X Class Server Cores introduces a new class of Q-SYS processors, utilizing enterprise-grade server hardware for larger scale applications. These Cores are fully networked and pair with localized edge based I/O devices.
  • Server Core X10 delivers 3x the processing power of the Core 24f, supporting 256 x 256 network I/O and 64 AEC processors.
  • Server Core X20r doubles the DSP power of the Core X10, with 384 x 384 network I/O, 128 AEC processors, and enterprise-class features like redundant, hot-swappable power supplies.

In addition, Q-SYS is simplifying its control licensing. Integrated control capabilities, including scripting, plugins, and UCI deployment, are now included at no additional cost.

Q-SYS Launches VisionSuite AI Accelerator and Smarter Design Tools

Q-SYS VisionSuite introduces intelligent new multimodal technologies that enhance in-room automation, speaker/presenter tracking for remote participants, and design workflows:

  • Speaker Spotlight triangulates the active speaker using their voice and image, enabling dynamic camera framing without static presets.
  • Presenter Spotlight leverages advanced computer vision to deliver predictive, full-body presenter tracking
  • Full-room automation across VisionSuite delivers engaging, intelligent experiences while simplifying operations for integrators and administrators.

Driving these capabilities is the new Q-SYS VSA-100 VisionSuite AI Accelerator, a native Q-SYS device built to power advanced automation. In addition, the update introduces Q-SYS VisionSuite Designer, a 3D configuration and visualization tool within Q-SYS Designer Software, allowing system designers to model and deploy spaces with greater accuracy and efficiency

Q-SYS Reflect: Enhanced Visibility and Actionable Insights

Q-SYS Reflect, the cloud-based remote monitoring and management solution for Q-SYS systems, now offers new Data & Reporting tools to deliver deeper visibility into system performance. Users can analyze AV reliability, track system health, and visualize trends across deployments.

Additionally, the Reflect API is now available for free, including third-party device monitoring—enabling seamless integration with enterprise-wide IT monitoring platforms for faster, more informed decision-making.

Q-SYS Designer Software v10

Q-SYS Designer Software v10 marks the platform’s largest software release to date, introducing support for new Q-SYS Cores and the new VisionSuite AI Accelerator. It also adds Android UCI Viewer support, native SMPTE ST 2110 audio with NMOS control, improved audio support for the NV-21-HU, and a new software development workflow for UI/UX creation.
