Q-SYS Designer Software (2024)

  • Q-SYS Designer Software (1)

Q-SYS Designer Software is the most powerful yet simple advanced DSP design software on the market today. This software enables the user to create designs for native Q-SYS Platform system and also supports the integration of the greater Q-SYS Ecosystem. The system design environment was created specifically to be intuitive and easy to use. It is laid out without clutter or complicated multi-level menus. As a result, the software allows system integrators to focus their energy on building the audio system, rather than laboring over a complex software learning curve.

One Software for all System Sizes: Q-SYS Designer Software is a single application for use with every Q-SYS Core category for projects of any size.
Emulation Mode:Build the majority of your system without hardware.
Third-party peripheral support:Q-SYS allows for control of external devices through available LUA scripting.
User Control Interfaces:Design custom buttons, import graphics, add UCI PIN protection as an addition layer of protection and build user controls for touchscreen controllers.

Note: Before upgrading, be sure to create backup copies of your Q-SYS design files for the current version and older versions. Also, make backup files for all media you have on the Core. To avoid overwriting your backup copies, be sure you do not open the backup copies with the newly installed version of Q-SYS Designer Software.

Improved Security for Q-SYS Cores

  • Enable more robust passwords for users accessing Q-SYS Cores through Q-SYS Core Manager: Administrators may now designate minimum password lengths, password complexity requirements, limit login attempts and more to comply with their organization's security policies*.
  • Administrators can now restrict file types that can be uploaded to Q-SYS Cores: Ensures that only approved file types can be uploaded via Q-SYS Core Manager for storage/usage on the Core.
  • Deprecated HTTP access to Q-SYS Core Manager in compliance with modern security standards to ensure a more secure environment.
  • Unapproved and deprecated ciphers have been removed for compliance with current encryption standards and best practices.

*Important Note: Updating to v9.10 will migrate the user database to a more secure password storage format that is not backwards compatible. If the system is subsequently downgraded to an earlier version, Access Control will be disabled and User Accounts will be lost.

Users using Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series or similar switches that don't support 10Mbps are not recommended to upgrade Q-SYS Designer Software and Core firmware to 9.4.4 or above (9.5 and 9.6). We have discovered an issue with Q-SYS TSC Series Gen 1 and Gen 2 touch panels running 9.4.4 or above while having the LAN port connected to a network switch port which does not support 10 Mbps. Q-SYS TSC Series Gen 1 or Gen 2 touchscreen controllers connected in this way may become inoperable and require a connection to a 10 Mbps switch in order to downgrade firmware to a previous version and become functional again.
