Q-SYS NV-32-H

Q-SYS NV-32-H (Core Capable) is a software-configurable network video endpoint designed to consolidate audio, video, and control for small to medium meeting rooms and classrooms. As a native device within Q-SYS, it simplifies system architecture by combining processing, switching, and network video into a single compact unit.

The device supports two operating modes. In Core Mode, NV-32-H functions as a fully integrated Q-SYS Core processor with onboard HDMI switching, network audio, AEC processing, and control, enabling complete room systems without a separate core. This mode is optimized for video collaboration workflows, supporting local HDMI source switching, USB audio and video bridging, and direct integration with microphones and displays.

In Peripheral Mode, NV-32-H operates as a high-performance network video encoder or decoder, supporting video up to 4K60 4:4:4 using Q-SYS Shift™ adaptive compression. It enables low-latency video distribution over standard gigabit networks and supports simultaneous streaming for dual-display rooms or multi-source scenarios. The device can be configured entirely in software, allowing the same hardware to serve different roles across projects.

With the optional Core Mode Video Streaming license, NV-32-H can combine Core and Peripheral modes simultaneously, delivering Q-SYS processing alongside network video encoding and decoding. Native AV Bridging, USB HID routing, and centralized management through Q-SYS Designer Software reduce deployment complexity while providing flexibility for evolving room requirements.
