QSC And WyreStorm Announce Software Partnership
QSC and WyreStorm have announced integration
between the QSC Q-SYS Platform and WyreStorm’s
NetworkHD AV over IP solutions, a technical partnership
which enables two distinct technologies to seamlessly
integrate WyreStorm Video over IP distribution with the
Q-SYS Platform.
First, the Q-SYS Media Stream Receiver software
component within Q-SYS Designer Software has been
updated to allow for simple connection to the audio
stream generated by any NetworkHD 100 or 200 Series
AV over IP encoder. This allows Q-SYS to ingest the audio
content presented to the encoder by its HDMI source
device, and then process and route to any destination on
the network.
Second, QSC will release control and monitoring plug-
ins for all NetworkHD Series systems to allow for simple
source switching, control and monitoring directly from the
Q-SYS Platform and Q-SYS touch screen controllers.
Both WyreStorm and QSC technology platforms utilise
an open, IT-aligned software architecture that enables
powerful, reliable and simple integration. James Meredith,
WyreStorm’s NetworkHD and control product manager,
stated: “Open standards for NetworkHD signal encoding
and distribution over the network enabled engineers to
produce proof-of-concept audio integration between
WyreStorm and Q-SYS in a matter of hours. This allows
them to focus far more on the integrator experience and
ease of confi guration, which will save them time and
money whilst stepping up the quality and capability of their
systems. Delivering an end result for the customer that will
surpass their expectations.”
Mike Brandes, product manager of Installed Systems,
QSC, commented: “We are very excited to partner with
WyreStorm and provide designers with a solution which
easily integrates WyreStorm AV over IP solutions into
a Q-SYS design. Together we are offering the industry
a best-in-class solution for fl exible and scalable audio
routing and control in any AV system design.”
The ability to integrate WyreStorm NetworkHD Series
audio streams with Q-SYS Media Stream Receiver is
available in Q-SYS Designer Software v6.0 and higher.
Q-SYS control and monitoring plug-ins for the NetworkHD
Series will follow in a later release of Q-SYS Designer
Software.
