Astute Commercial Integrator readers already knew this. In a Q&A prior to InfoComm 2017, Wyrestorm’s global product manager James Meredith announced that Wyrestorm had added QSC as a NetworkHD integration partner along with software integration between the QSC Q-SYS Platform and WyreStorm’s NetworkHD AV over IP solutions.

CI editor Tom LeBlanc asked Meredith about WyreStorm’s NetworkHD integration partner network. “One of the first that we’ll be announcing at the show taking advantage of that standards-based decoding is QSC which plans on launching a software feature within its Q-SYS platform to enable the integrator to easily select a Wyrestorm device and use that as an audio source and distribute that,” Meredith said.

Now Wyrestorm is offering more details on the partnership with QSC.

According to a press release, the Q-SYS Media Stream Receiver software component within Q-SYS Designer Software is updated to allow for simple connection to the audio stream generated by any NetworkHD 100, 200 and 400 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 the NetworkHD Series 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 utilize an open, IT-aligned software architecture that enables powerful, reliable and incredibly simple integration.

“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,” adds Meredith in the press release. “This allows them to focus far more on the integrator experience and ease of configuration, 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.”

QSC is also excited about the Q-SYS software integration with NetworkHD, says product manager of installed systems Mike Brandes in the press release. He says the partnership provides “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 flexible and scalable audio routing and control in any AV system design.”

More from Wyrestorm’s QSC Q-SYS Integration press release:

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.
