Q-SYS feature license update!

  • As of Q-SYS Designer Software v10, you can leverage the Q-SYS scripting engine and deploy third-party plugins without the need for a feature license.
  • For systems that need to run Q-SYS Designer v9.x or lower, you will still need to deploy a free feature license, available here.

Features

  • Third-Party Control Plugins/Scripts – Take advantage of a library of useful plugins and control scripts for some of the most commonly used elements of today’s modern conference room (with many more currently under development by Q-SYS and by third-party device manufacturers). Plugins are designed to easily integrate third-party devices with the Q-SYS Ecosystem in a matter of minutes.
  • Full Featured Scripting Component – Integrate anything from the simplest function to the most complex control scenario imaginable. Create custom scripts using modern, accessible scripting languages including Lua, an open-source, IT friendly programming language. 
  • Visual Coding Tool – The new Block Controller component offers a drag-and-drop method for building control scripts within Q-SYS. Based on a concept originally developed by Google and MIT, this open source visual programming tool uses interlocking, graphical blocks to represents common programming concepts. It enables easy composition of sophisticated scripts, especially for novice programmers.
