FAQ | Is the Q-SYS NV-32-H network video endpoint capable of decoding a network stream from a Q-SYS PTZ-IP conference camera?

Discover if the Q-SYS NV-32-H endpoint can be used to decode network streams from a Q-SYS PTZ-IP conference camera.

Answer


In Q-SYS Designer 9.5 and higher, NV-32-H (Core Capable) devices in Core Mode, as well as NV-32-H devices configured as Encoders or Decoders, support the ability to receive Mediacast streams from Q-SYS cameras (NC Series and PTZ Series) for output to a connected HDMI display.

For support details, schematic examples, property and control definitions, as well as troubleshooting tips, see the HDMI I/O (NV-32-H) topic.

Note

For systems running versions previous to 9.5, the following steps are needed to send cameras via NV-32-H.

In order for the Q-SYS NV-32-H network video endpoint to decode a network stream from a Q-SYS PTZ-IP conference camera and output to a monitor via HDMI, a user must connect the HDMI output of the Q-SYS PTZ-IP conference camera to the HDMI input of a NV-32-H (set as an encoder). The camera's network stream would then be available to any NV-32-H (set as a decoder) on the network.
