Introduction
The Q-SYS™ Core 8 FLEX is the ideal processing solution for today's smaller and dynamic spaces that utilize an increasing number of network I/O
endpoints, yet still require some highly flexible analog audio and general purpose I/O for legacy device integration.
The Q-SYS™ Core NANO offers purely network AV&C processing designed to support centralized processing for multiple rooms and/or installations
that rely solely on networked, IP-based endpoints providing a significant cost savings in applications not requiring analog I/O on the processor.
These platforms extend Q-SYS' reach into more modest every-day projects leveraging all the features available across the entire Ecosystem for use
in applications ranging from Acoustic Echo Canceling (AEC) and sound reinforcement in small to medium meeting or multipurpose rooms, sound
reinforcement in performance venues such as house of worship and theater, background music systems to paging in airports, convention centers
and hospitals.
The Core 8 FLEX and Core NANO are multipurpose software-based audio and control processors in a compact form factor. Core 8 FLEX features
a bank of 8 patented FLEX Channels, each channel independently configured during design or run time as either a microphone/line level input
or a line level output while the Core NANO utilizes purely network-based I/O. The Core 8 FLEX and Core NANO combine class leading power and
flexibility with specialized I/O such as VoIP, Internal Solid State Drive Playback/Recording and USB audio I/O plus USB A/V bridging.
The Cores' USB device connections enable the processors to appear in a Microsoft Windows or macOS host operating system simultaneously
as both a USB Audio, Video and Communications device supporting up to 8x8 digital audio channels in a flexible, design time configuration
environment that can advertise as multiple virtual USB device instances to the host operating system concurrently over a single physical USB
connection. Additionally, USB Host ports enable the Cores to host external USB devices and future Q-SYS peripheral products.
