Call Sync [BETA]
Use the Call Sync component to simplify the integration of Q-SYS collaboration devices and calling systems. It synchronizes mute state, call controls, and LED light behavior across multiple calling components, including USB HID Conferencing and Softphone.
Note: This is a BETA feature. Though it is functional, it is not feature complete. Q-SYS cannot provide support for this feature at this time, but is interested in your feedback. To provide feedback, send an email to Qsyscontrolfeedback@qsc.com.
Each Call Sync component supports a connection to a single Call System and multiple device control components, also known as Endpoints. To use Call System component or Endpoint component with Call Sync:
-
Select the component in your design.
-
In Properties, set the Enable Call Sync property to 'Yes'.
-
Wire the Call System or Endpoint pin to the Call Sync component.
Supported Call Systems
Supported Endpoints
Note: NM-T1 support is pending.
Call System
Connect this input pin to a Call Sync output pin of a supported Call System.
Endpoints
Connect this output pin to the Call Sync input pin of a supported Endpoint.
In this example, Call Sync receives call states (mute, ring, etc.) from a HID Conferencing component. The designer can then configure the LED colors and patterns to appear for those states, and then send them to the LED light bars on both a TSC-70-G3 touch panel and NL-SB42 soundbar. The light bars of both devices thus behave the same for call mute, ringing status, etc.
Note: Button Configuration and Proximity Sensor controls are related to the Q-SYS NM-T1 Tabletop Network Microphone. This device will be available in a future release.
Button Configuration
Mute Mode
Alters the microphone Mute button behavior.
-
Toggle : (Default) When a Mute button is pressed, it toggles between mute and unmute states. Only toggle is supported when using Call Sync. PTT (Push to Talk) and PTM (Push To Mute) are supported when using the NM-T1 without Call Sync.
Mute Control
This control determines whether audio is muted within the Mic In (NM-T1) component.
-
Local: (Default) When set to local, any mute button press on the NM-T1 device or virtual mute buttons will cause the audio to be muted within the NM-T1 Mic In component.
-
Remote: When set to Remote and mute buttons are pressed, audio is not muted within the NM-T1 Mic In component. In this mode, the mute state output can be used to control muting in the Q-SYS design.
Mute Buttons
This control enables or disables the four Mute buttons on the NM-T1 device. When set to Disabled, the Mute button backlights on the control ring turn off. The default is Enabled.
Call Button
This control enables or disables the Call button on the NM-T1 device. When set to Disabled, the Call button backlight on the control ring turns off. The default is Disabled.
User Button
This control enables or disables the User button on the NM-T1 device. When set to Disabled, the User button backlight on the control ring turns off. The default is Disabled.
Proximity Sensor
Sensor
This control enables or disables the proximity sensor on the NM-T1 device. The default is Disabled
Fuel Gauge
This control enables or disables the fuel gauge pattern when the proximity sensor is activated on the NM-T1 device. The default is Enabled.
Link to Mute
When enabled, a proximity sensor event will toggle the mute state of the NM-T1 microphone. The default is Enabled.
Call Control
Call Accept
Triggers the active call to be accepted and taken Off Hook.
Call Decline
Triggers the active call to be declined and forced On Hook.
Mute
Toggles the mute state for all Call Sync-connected devices and components.
Off Hook
LED indicates the connected calling system is Off Hook.
Ring
LED indicates the connected calling system is ringing.
LED Configuration
Use this section to configure the Unmute, Mute, Ringing, and Idle states of supported Q-SYS collaboration Endpoints with integrated LEDs (see Supported Endpoints) and how those states are indicated to the user on the LED light bar or ring.
Tip: When connected to a running system, any change to the color, pattern, or speed controls will preview the combination for 5 seconds regardless of the current state of the Endpoint.
Color
For each state, select what color appears in the light bar or light ring:
-
<Color Name>: Select from 16 color names in the list.
-
Off: The LED will turn off for this state.
-
Custom: For greater color capability, wire a Color Picker component to the Color input control pin for each state. See Control Pins.
Pattern
For each state, select a pattern for LED colors to appear: Breathing, Chasing, Chasing w/Tails, Flashing, or Solid (default).
Speed
For each state, select the speed of the selected pattern animation: Slow, Standard, Fast, or None.
User Button Color
Similar to the Color control for call states, you can also configure the color for the NM-T1 User button.
LED Brightness
Select the brightness level of the light bar or ring, from 1 (dimmest) to 10 (brightest). The default is 5. On the NM-T1, this also adjusts the brightness of the Mute, Call, and User button backlights.
