NV Series Models

The NV-32-H (Core Capable), NV-21-HU, and NV-1-H-WE endpoints are powerful additions to the Q-SYS Ecosystem. Designed to enhance audio and video capabilities within the system, these endpoints offer seamless integration and exceptional performance. As native endpoints of the Q-SYS platform, the NV Series provide reliable and efficient connectivity, enabling users to achieve unparalleled audiovisual experiences. Whether used in large-scale installations or smaller setups, these endpoints bring a new level of versatility and functionality to the Q-SYS ecosystem.

The NV-32-H (Core Capable) is a multipurpose, software-configurable video endpoint native to the Q-SYS Ecosystem, offering two distinct operating modes: Core Mode transforms the device into a fully integrated Q-SYS processor with local HDMI switching capabilities. Peripheral Mode allows multi-stream video encoding or decoding for network-based HDMI video distribution. Like all Q-SYS devices, the NV-32-H (Core Capable) offers native integration and control, simplifying setup, configuration and firmware management while eliminating the need for advanced programming knowledge.

Note: For installation and connection instructions, drawings, and other documentation, refer to the Resources section on the NV-32-H (Core Capable) product page on the Q-SYS website. To learn about native HDMI distribution within the Q-SYS Ecosystem, see the Q-SYS Video 101 Training on the Q-SYS website.

The Q-SYS NV Series NV-21-HU is the next evolution for native video distribution on the Q-SYS Platform. The NV-21-HU is a software configurable endpoint offering a comprehensive single-cable solution for audio and video distribution, AV bridging and device charging via USB-C. The NV-21-HU’s compact size and reduced I/O make it ideal for supporting meeting rooms, learning spaces, hospitality and entertainment installations. The NV-21-HU can be used alongside other Q-SYS NV Series video endpoints, providing system design flexibility. Like all Q-SYS products, the NV-21-HU offers native integration and control, simplifying configuration and operation.

Note: This topic provides an overview of the NV-21-HU. For complete specifications, installation documentation, and product drawings, see the NV-21-HU product page on the Q-SYS website.
