The following Q-SYS Designer components are available for the Core 110f, depending on its Properties:

Standard Components

External USB Audio

USB Video Bridge

USB Audio Bridge

Front Panel

  1. OLED Display – displays information about the core's settings and status.
  2. Next button – cycles through the information pages
  3. ID button – locates the Core in Q-SYS Designer GUI and Configurator
  4. Power LED – illuminates blue when the Core is on
  5. USB Type A Host connectors (2)

Rear Panel — Left Side

All audio inputs and outputs use one 3-position, 3.5mm Euro connector for each channel. GPIO uses one 10-position 3.5mm Euro connector for each row. Configure all inputs and outputs in Q-SYS Designer.

  1. Mic/Line Inputs – eight channels, balanced or unbalanced, phantom power – orange
  2. Flex Channels – eight user-configurable input/output channels, balanced or unbalanced, phantom power on inputs – blue
  3. Mic/Line Outputs – eight channels, balanced or unbalanced - green

The following connections use the black Euro plug:

  1. 12VDC, 0.2A Outputs + uses connector pins 1 and 11 (not numbered)
  2. General-purpose Inputs – 16 inputs, 0-24V analog input, or contact closure (Pins labeled 1–16 equal pins 1–16 in the Q-SYS Designer GPIO Input component)
  3. Earth ground – uses pins 10 and 20 (not numbered)
  4. General-purpose Outputs – 16 outputs, open collector (24V, 0.2A maximum) with pull up to +3.3V (Pins labeled 1–16 equal pins 1–16 in the Q-SYS Designer GPIO Output component)

Rear Panel — Right Side

  1. Telephone Line – RJ11 (6P2C)
  2. Serial Number of the Core 110
  3. External Power Input – Auxiliary power, 12VDC, 10A, 2-pin, 5 mm Euro connector.
  4. RS232 – Transmit and receive, 3-pin, 5 mm, Euro connector
  5. HDMI – for future use
  6. USB Type B Device connector
  7. LAN A – Q-LAN, control, VoIP, WAN streaming, AES67 etc., RJ45
  8. USB Type A Host connectors (4) for future use
  9. LAN-B – Redundancy, control, VoIP, etc.
  10. A/C Power Input – IEC connector, 100-240V ~ 50-60 Hz, 150W, universal power supply

Design Status

  • Device – The name of the Core as defined in Q-SYS Designer.
  • Design – The name of the currently running design.
  • Status –
    • OK – Audio is good, hardware is good.
    • Compromised – Audio is good but a redundancy mechanism is active (one LAN down but the other is still up) or a non-fatal hardware problem exists (fans too slow, temperature higher than expected, etc.)
    • Fault – Audio is not passing, or hardware is malfunctioning or mis-configured
    • Missing – A piece of hardware, defined in the design, has not been discovered. Audio is not passing through that piece of hardware.
    • Initializing – Starting the firmware, configuration update, and the design. Audio is obviously bad.
    • Not Present – A virtual component in the design, that is designated as Dynamically Paired, and Not Required, has no hardware assigned to it.

System Status

  • Firmware – A three-section number identifying the major release, minor release, and maintenance release. For example, 5.0.06.
  • Temp – The current chassis temperature of the Core.
    • Compromised threshold = 60° C
    • Fault threshold = 70° C
  • Fan Speed – This number varies with the temperature.

LAN A

  • Static or Auto – Displays next to LAN A, indicates if the Core's IP Address is Static or Automatic.
  • IP Address – The IP Address assigned to the Core's LAN A. LAN A is the primary Q-LAN connection to the Core, and is required.
  • Net Mask – The Net Mask assigned to the Core.
  • Gateway – The Gateway assigned to the Core.

Note: You can edit this information in Core Manager.

LAN B

LAN B is used for redundancy, and is not required. The information is the same as LAN A.

Input / Flex In Channels Status

The Input and Flex Input screens show the Mute, Clip, Signal, and +48V (phantom power) for the eight Mic/Line input channels.

  • Mute – Displays a "muted loudspeaker" when the channel is muted.
  • Clip – Displays a solid circle under the channel having an input signal that is overdriving the associated channel input.
  • Signal – Displays a solid circle when there is a signal present on the associated channel.
  • +48V – Displays a solid circle when the phantom power is turned on for the associated channel.

Note: If the Flex channel is set to Output, there is no information for that channel on the Flex In screen.

Output / Flex Out Channels Status

The Output and Flex Output screens show the Mute, Clip, and Signal, for the eight Mic/Line output channels.

  • Mute – Displays a "muted loudspeaker" when the channel is muted.
  • Clip – Displays a solid circle under the channel having an output signal over driving the associated channel output.
  • Signal – Displays a solid circle when there is a signal present on the associated channel.

Note: If a Flex channel is set to Input, there is no information shown under the same channel on the Flex Out screen.
