The Right Capabilities for Demanding Applications
As the evolutionary successor to the Q-SYS Core 110f, the Core 24f expands on the foundation set by the industry’s first truly integrated audio, video, and control processor, offering a significant increase in processing power and updated I/O to meet the performance needs of modern AV environments. It features 24x onboard audio channels, integrated AV bridging via USB-C, GPIO and RS232 control connectivity and 4x network ports for a variety of applications requiring in-room processing.
Q-SYS Control is intrinsic to Q-SYS
The Core 24f processor leverages the full capabilities of the Q-SYS control engine without the need for feature licenses. This allows you to design and deliver a user control & automation experience tailor-made for each unique space, with a set of tools that match any programming comfort level on a single, scalable platform.
Integrated audio, video and control
The Core 24f processor is driven by the Q-SYS Full Stack AV Platform, which unifies data, devices and a cloud-first open architecture to deliver a fully integrated audio, video and control solution that offers simpler integration and software-based scalability.
