    Introduction

    The Q-SYS™ Core 510i processor is an

    audio, video and control processing

    system that leverages Intel™ CPUs and

    motherboards as well as a dedicated,

    Linux™ realtime operating system developed

    by QSC to provide class-leading capabilities

    for AV systems of any scale.

    The Q-SYS Core 510i processor offers the

    most flexible audio I/O of any Core in the

    Q-SYS catalog, perfect for applications

    that require a diversity of analog, digital

    and networked audio connectivity. It

    features eight onboard I/O card slots that

    can be populated with any combination

    of Q-SYS Type-II I/O cards allowing

    diverse connectivity options. The Core

    510i processor also offers two modes of

    operation whereby it can be deployed as a

    Q-SYS Core Processor with full processing

    capabilities, or configured as an I/O

    expander when configured via software as

    an I/O-510i.

    Applications – Q-SYS Core mode

    When deployed as a Q-SYS Core, the Core

    510i processor provides an abundance

    of raw processing power for all audio,

    video and control requirements including

    integration with the new Q-SYS AV-to-USB

    Bridging solution. Onboard acoustic echo

    cancellation (AEC) processing coupled with

    high channel capacity networked audio

    provide the ability to manage multiple small

    to mid-sized conference spaces or a single

    large space.

    Applications – I/O Frame mode

    When configured via software as an

    I/O-510i, the device offers the ability to add

    up to 128 x 128 audio channels in to the

    Q-SYS system for processing on a separate

    Q-SYS Core. It can accommodate any

    combination of Q-SYS Type-II I/O cards.

    This is particularly useful when integrating

    large numbers of networked audio channels

    from Dante™, CobraNet™ or AVB™ devices

    and subsystems in to the Q-SYS Platform.

    Network

    The Q-SYS Platform utilizes IEEE

    networking standards and solutions for

    audio, control and video distribution over

    a standard Ethernet / IP network. Q-LAN

    provides deterministic system latencies with

    analog input to analog output guaranteed at

    3.167ms. The Q-SYS Platform uses Q-LAN

    for audio, video and control connectivity

    with all Q-SYS peripherals. Additionally,

    the Q-SYS Core supports VoIP, SIP, LDAP,

    AES67, TCP/IP and HTTP Web Sockets

    among many other standard IT networking

    solutions.

    Scalable Redundancy

    While QSC is dedicated to building the

    most reliable products, some applications

    call for additional assurance. Any element

    on the Q-SYS Platform – Cores, networks,

    I/O-Frames and even amplifiers may be

    deployed in a redundant configuration. The

    system designer has the choice of making

    one or all system elements redundant.

    Peripherals

    The capabilities of the Q-SYS Platform

    are further enhanced by the ever growing

    suite of Q-SYS peripheral devices, all of

    which are compatible with all Q-SYS Core

    processors, including the Q-SYS Core

    510i. The catalog of Q-SYS networked

    peripheral devices include amplifiers, touch

    screen controllers, paging stations, I/O

    channel expanders, PTZ-IP cameras for the

    conference room and AV-to-USB Bridging

    devices.
