Q-SYS network I/O processor
The Q-SYS Core Nano audio, video and control (AV&C) processor extends the applications of the Q-SYS Ecosystem into a wider range of smaller-scale installations across corporate, higher education, healthcare and beyond. Built on the same foundational technology as the rest of the Q-SYS processor portfolio, including the best-in-class Q-SYS Core 110f, Core Nano is designed for applications with lower network channel capacity and/or targeted processing requirements.


Network I/O Only
Core Nano offers purely networked AV&C processing without any on-board analog connections. This represents a major cost savings for those installations that have adopted modern networked endpoints and/or need a shared/centralized processing scenario.
Rightsized. Uncompromised.
Rather than deploying an AV&C processor with unused analog I/O that occupies a full rack space, Core Nano offers a smaller solution with several mounting options. However, its smaller form factor does not compromise on functionality; instead Core Nano delivers a full featured control engine for third-party device control, full paging and BGM capabilities, automation, monitoring and beyond.
Optimized for the Meeting Space
The Core Nano provides the AV infrastructure to enable full room web conference integration, particularly for larger, more challenging spaces. It features USB integration with all major web conferencing applications, eight channels of acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), two VoIP softphones, Software-based Dante to enable modern microphones, and a full-featured control engine for third-party device integration.
Reduce Complexity and improve scalability with the Q-SYS Ecosystem
The Q-SYS Core Nano joins a growing Ecosystem of AV&C processors built on a flexible software foundation. Like all Q-SYS Core processors, the Core Nano lets integrators take full advantage of the same Q-SYS software suite to design and configure systems, and end users can take full advantage of all native Q-SYS peripherals and the system’s ability to scale your system without having to rip-and-replace your configuration file.
