Improvements

Platform

IO Monitor AES67 and Software Dante support

Q-SYS 9.9 introduces AES67 and Dante support to the IO Monitor component. You can choose AES67 and Software-Dante-RX input/output as the channel in the IO Monitor Controls.

Deprecated: Media Browsing of Media directory

Direct browsing of the media directory has been deprecated for security and privacy reasons. Access media via Core Manager or supported media APIs.

Q-SYS Designer Software Help Menu

Explore the newly updated Designer Help Menu, which now features convenient links to the Q-SYS Training Website and Q-SYS Communities for Developers, while the previous QSC Training Website has been removed.

Software Dante Optimization

Software Dante has been optimized to enable 1 mS Software Dante latency on the platform. Each Dante receiver includes a user-adjustable amount of latency before playing out audio to account for any delay variation in the network or end device, ensuring all devices play out in perfect sync. For more information on changing the amount of latency, visit the Configuration Overview section in the Software Dante RX topic.

Configurator: Added number of devices

Improvements made to Configurator showing subtotals of devices by type / categories to quickly verify what has been discovered. You will see the device count in parentheses next to the device type.

Core 610 Scaling License

Q-SYS 9.9.0 includes expanded scaling licenses for the Core 610 processor.
This license focuses on expanding media/WAN channel capacities and AEC processing. It also unlocks more all-purpose DSP processing power and expands the networked audio channel capacity for Q-LAN/AES67 to 384x384.

Core 610 Expanded Software Dante License Tier

Q-SYS 9.9.0 includes expanded Software Dante License Tier to 256x256 for Q-SYS Core 610 processor.

Audio

CX-Q Front Panel Turn Off

Additions have been made within the Controls of the CX-Q Amplifier to include a 'Disabled' button. By default, the front panel is Enabled; however, when the Disabled button is pressed, the front panel will not show any LEDs operating and the LCD screen will not work. For more information, visit the Controls section in the Amp Output (CX-Q, CXD-Q, DPA-Q Series) topic.

Enterprise Manager, Core Manager, and Peripheral Manager: Added product serial number

The product Serial Number has been added to Enterprise Manager Core Manager, and Peripheral Manager. This lets you quickly identify product age and warranty information without sending someone on-site to verify.Enterprise Manager: This information will be on the "Status" tab under "Core Details".Core Manager: This information will be on the "Status" tab under "Core Details".Peripheral Manager: This information will be on the "Status" tab.

Core Manager and Enterprise Manager: Inventory Columns

Additional Inventory Columns have been added to Core Manager and Enterprise Manager that allow you to filter and view by Serial Number, Firmware, Design, Date & Time, and/or Network. For more information, visit Inventory.

Core Manager: Added UCI Links tab

Q-SYS 9.9 introduces a UCI Links tab in User Control Interfaces that allows you to create http(s) link(s) to the UCI view and use it to embed the UCI to other apps, and/or hardware. For more information, visit User Control Interfaces.
