QSControl.net, QSC’s next generation network audio
system, achieves the seamless integration of the
company’s signal transport, control, processing, and
monitoring technologies. QSControl.net brings together
QSC’s digital, power amplification and loudspeaker
products into a unified system that enables the user
to administrate it all via a fully integrated graphical
user interface. The new generation BASIS devices
are designed to operate under the company’s
QSControl.net platform.
BASIS 922dz
The BASIS platform meets the control, monitoring, signal
transport and processing needs of amplification and
loudspeaker systems over an Ethernet network. The BASIS
922dz units combine three distinct QSC technologies
within a single hardware unit. Amplifier and loudspeaker
control, monitoring and protection, configurable DSP, and
CobraNet™ audio transport are seamlessly integrated into
one powerful single RU package.
Through QSControl.net, QSC’s BASIS and next-generation
RAVE and DSP products can be networked together and
controlled from a single software interface. In addition,
multiple networked computers can be set up to control
and monitor all of the units simultaneously.
Fixed Latency DSP
Users of most other configurable DSP systems are
familiar with a variable latency inherent in the processing
configuration. Add more processing blocks and you also
add delay, whether you want it or not. QSC’s DSP engine
is unique in having a short and fixed processing latency
through the DSP subsystem. When the A/D and D/A
converters are included, the total digital-to-analog latency
of a single unit is a negligible 2.167 milliseconds. QSC’s
fixed latency DSP is configurable DSP that stays fast and
predictable from one configuration to the next.
