Q-SYS has announced with introduction of the NV Series NV-21-HU, a two-input, one-output endpoint with support for HDMI and USB-C that’s designed to simplify installation with a single-cable approach for video distribution, AV bridging and device charging via USB-C..
A reduced I/O count makes the NV-21-HU well-suited for supporting meeting rooms, learning spaces, hospitality and entertainment installations. Software configurable, it can be defined as an encoder or decoder (in Q-SYS Designer Software) in offering the ability to operate with either HDMI or USB-C connectivity, providing integrators with more flexibility in supporting a broader range of devices while eliminating the need for adapters and, in some cases, multiple cables. In addition, integrators can add AV bridging (with an optional feature license) to extend the device’s functionality to support full UC Platform bridging capabilities.
The NV-21-HU joins the Q-SYS video portfolio alongside the NV-32-H (Core Capable) video endpoint, offering more compact design providing more options to rightsize the application based on I/O density, form factor and available features. As a native Q-SYS device, users will have the added benefit of utilizing the software-based audio, video and control platform to enable drag-and-drop, no-code deployment.
“The NV-21-HU answers the need for a lower-cost and more comprehensive solution that can address end user demands for an easy, frictionless user experience,” says Mike Brandes, senior product marketing manager, Q-SYS. “Its compact design and rightsized I/O make it ideal for more applications while still providing the ease-of-use and deployment familiar to Q-SYS NV Series users.”
