Using Q-SYS Designer Software and Automatic Camera Preset Recall

Q-SYS™ Designer Software is a DSP configuration tool purpose-built for the Q-SYS platform. In conjunction with this software, Q-SYS has developed a plugin to combine Automatic Camera Preset Recall (ACPR) functionality with sound location data from Nureva^® HDL310 and HDL410 systems. This plugin provides dynamic camera switching based on active audio zones as well as support for the core audio features of the HDL310 and HDL410 systems.

Plugins for Q-SYS control integrations are distributed through the Q-SYS Designer Asset Manager. Q-SYS training is required before gaining access to Q-SYS control architecture software and plugins.

Control plugin or ACPR plugin

Two Q-SYS-certified plugins are available for integrating the HDL310 and HDL410 systems with the Q-SYS platform. Each plugin offers similar functionality. However, they each have specific advantages.

Q-SYS control plugin

The control plugin delivers audio control that will enhance and simplify the remote experience, with a focus on the core audio adjustments. Nureva sound location data is also included in the plugin and can be used to automate Q-SYS cameras. The microphone status can be monitored by connecting to a monitoring proxy using Q-SYS Reflect.

Available audio adjustments

• Speaker volume up/down

• Microphone mute/unmute

• Speaker treble and bass adjustment (EQ)

• Recalibration

Q-SYS Automatic Camera Preset Recall plugin

The ACPR plugin was developed primarily for camera switching using audio data from in-room microphones to trigger user-defined camera presets. Speaker volume adjustments and microphone mute are also available through this plugin.

Automatic Camera Preset Recall

• Management of fixed, pre-determined camera shot presets.

• Preset recall based on sound location data provided by an HDL310 or HDL410 to determine the talker’s location in the room.

• Multiple instances allowed within a location to support varied room layouts and divisions.

• Ideal for tracking the active talker and using presets to ensure remote participants can see who is talking.
