Q-SYS Core processors are driven by the Q-SYS Full Stack AV Platform, delivering a fully integrated audio, video and control solution that enables a blank canvas for unique experiences across a broad range of applications. Each Q-SYS Core is built around the same singular software-based foundation that lets you choose the right processor based on the processing, I/O and scale requirements of each unique installation, from corporate and higher education to hospitality, entertainment and beyond.

Integrated audio, video and control

The Q-SYS Intelligent Platform OS features an integrated audio, video and control engine, which streamlines system design and deployment by eliminating additional hardware costs, programming fees, and points of failure caused by integrating disparate DSP, control processing and video devices.

Robust Control

The Q-SYS Core processor portfolio leverages the full capabilities of the Q-SYS Control engine without the need for feature licenses, allowing you to easily design and deliver a user control & automation experience for each unique space. Our robust control engine offers tools to match every programming comfort level within a single, scalable platform, including no-code options to manage native Q-SYS products and third-party integrations.

Right Processor for your application

Our comprehensive Q-SYS processing portfolio ensures there's a Q-SYS Core to meet the right power, I/O and scale requirements for each unique application. Q-SYS Cores combine robust processing with tailored network and/or onboard I/O capacity to support in-room, hybrid, or centralized processing across collaboration, higher education, hospitality and beyond.

Full Stack AV

Q-SYS processors are driven by Q-SYS Full Stack AV Platform, which unifies data, devices and a cloud-first open architecture to deliver a fully integrated audio, video and control solution that offers simpler integration and software-based scalability.
