Audio Peripherals and Components
Sennheiser TCC-M Plus audio stream does not update when changing Dynamic Pairing
Issue: When using Dynamic Pairing with a Sennheiser TCC-M Plus microphone in Q-SYS Designer, only the control link updates when pairing is changed, and the audio link does not. This results in audio streams continuing after the microphone has been unpaired or the audio being received from a previously paired microphone instead of the newly paired one.
Workaround: Redeploy the design.
Earliest Reported Version: 10.4
Version Fixed: This issue is under investigation.
Sennheiser TCC-M Plus microphone does not appear in IO Monitor component
Issue: When a TCC-M Plus microphone is added to a Q-SYS design alongside an IO Monitor component, the TCC-M Plus does not appear in the IO Monitor's device dropdown.
Workaround: There is no workaround at this time. This will be solved in a future release so that the TCC-M Plus does appear in the IO Monitor's device dropdown.
Earliest Reported Version: 10.4
Version Fixed: To be fixed in a future release.
MPA-Q Amplifier Audio Is Clipping on QLAN Input Signals Exceeding 0 dBFS
Issue: When sending audio signals from a Core to an MPA-Q Amplifier over QLAN, any signal that exceeds 0 dBFS at the amplifier's input will be clipped, even if the signal level is reduced later using the amplifier’s gain adjustment point. As a result, even reducing the gain within the amplifier component does not restore the clipped signal, and the audio will remain distorted even though the output level displayed on the amplifier's meters appears below 0 dBFS. This behavior does not affect CX-Q amplifiers in the same configuration.
Workaround: Ensure that the level of all audio signals routed to an MPA-Q Amplifier component does not exceed 0 dBFS at the amplifier's input.
Earliest Reported Version: 10.3
Version Fixed: This issue will be fixed in Q-SYS Designer Software 10.4.
QIO-FLEX4A Serial Port may lose reservation under high serial traffic
Issue: Under high-frequency serial traffic (e.g., tick rate ≤ 0.1s), the QIO-FLEX4A peripheral intermittently loses its reservation and reports an error, “Missing - In use by another design.”
Workaround: Avoid using extremely low tick rates (e.g., 0s or 0.1s). Increasing the tick rate to 1 second or higher appears to prevent the issue, even with large payloads. Customers should stress-test serial communication before updating to 10.0.
Earliest Reported Version: 10.0.0. This does not affect the LTS (9.4.x) branch.
Version Fixed: This issue is under investigation.
Softphone not responding to 407 requests after a BYE message
Issue: Symptoms experienced will show that when a call is made from the Core and a hangup is made from the Core, the call will not disconnect. If the call is disconnected from the far end then it will disconnect properly. Sending a BYE message results in the system sending a 407 request, which the Softphone does not respond to.
Workaround: Hanging up from the Softphone or far end caller works, but not from the Core.
Earliest Reported Version: 9.9.0. This does not affect the LTS (9.4.x) branch.
Version Fixed: This issue is under investigation.
Video Peripherals and Components
NV-32-H
NV-32, in Core Mode, unable to send Mediacast stream to USB Video Bridge component
Issue: When an NV-32 is operating in Core Mode with USB Video Bridging enabled, routing an HDMI input via a Mediacast stream to the USB Video Bridge component on the same device does not deliver video. The USB Video Bridge feed on the connected PC displays a black screen or an "offline" message, even though the USB connection status indicates "true" and JPEG previews function normally. Video routed to NVM decoders in the same design works without issue.
Workaround: None. This issue will be fixed in a future release.
Earliest Reported Version: 10.4
Version Fixed: This issue is under investigation.
NV-32-H / NV-21-HU not receiving HDMI Audio from certain sources
Issue: When using Intel NUCs (11th gen and later) as HDMI sources, the NV-32-H / NV-21-HU fail to receive or pass through HDMI audio. Q-SYS Designer shows no signal on audio meters, and no audio is heard at the output. This occurs consistently, even though video passes through correctly. Note that this issue may impact more sources than NUCs.
Workaround: Clearing the EDID cache on the NUC using Custom Resolution Utility (CRU) and rebooting resolves the issue in some cases. However, audio fails again if EDID is set to 1080p60. Audio works at 4k60 or 4k30. Re-clearing the cache may be required after EDID changes.
Earliest Reported Version: 10.0.0. This does not affect the LTS (9.4.x) branch.
Version Fixed: This issue is under investigation.
Does not receive 4K60 video with Intel Iris Xe Graphics
Issue: NV-32-H cannot receive valid 4k60 video with Intel Iris Xe Graphics.
Workaround: None. This will be fixed in an upcoming release.
Earliest Reported Version: 9.8.1 and 9.4.5 LTS.
Version Fixed: This issue is under investigation.
NV-21-HU
NV-21 Video Bridge experiences 'ghosting' when source camera is set as 50Hz
Issue: When an NC camera with an HDMI output is set to 50Hz, and the camera feed is routed to an NV-21 Video Bridge to a PC, the video visible on the PC experiences ghosting on the lower 2/3rds of the image.
Workaround: Switching off network shaping eliminates these issues.
Earliest Reported Version: 10.0.0, 10.0.1, 10.1
Version Fixed: This issue is under investigation.
NV-32-H / NV-21-HU not receiving HDMI Audio from certain sources
Issue: When using Intel NUCs (11th gen and later) as HDMI sources, the NV-32-H / NV-21-HU fail to receive or pass through HDMI audio. Q-SYS Designer shows no signal on audio meters, and no audio is heard at the output. This occurs consistently, even though video passes through correctly. Note that this issue may impact more sources than NUCs.
Workaround: Clearing the EDID cache on the NUC using Custom Resolution Utility (CRU) and rebooting resolves the issue in some cases. However, audio fails again if EDID is set to 1080p60. Audio works at 4k60 or 4k30. Re-clearing the cache may be required after EDID changes.
Earliest Reported Version: 10.0.0. This does not affect the LTS (9.4.x) branch.
Version Fixed: This issue is under investigation.
HID Conferencing not passing off-hook state with Mac Mini with M4Pro chipset and NV-21-HU
Issue: When connecting a Mac Mini with the M4Pro chipset to an NV-21-HU HID Conferencing component, the off-hook and mute LEDs do not pass the off-hook state.
Workaround: Enable the Video Bridge on the NV-21-HU and attach it in the design to a camera. If the system doesn't have a camera, mark the camera’s “Is Required” Property to False to avoid errors.
Earliest Reported Version: 9.13.0.
Version Fixed: This issue is under investigation.
Cameras
NVM decoder display component HDCP reverts to "Not Required" state after HDMI hot-plug or disable/enable
Issue: When the HDCP Mode on an NVM decoder display component is set to Auto, performing an HDMI cable hot-plug or toggling HDMI disable/enable can cause HDCP to fall into a "Not Required" state. When this occurs, the connected display shows the message "The source content requires HDCP and can't be displayed. HDCP is not supported by your HDMI connection" and video/audio output stops.
Workaround: Toggle the HDCP setting off and back on in the display component to re-authenticate.
Earliest Reported Version: 10.4.0
Version Fixed: Under investigation.
NC-Pro15x stream quality degrades with a high number of simultaneous streams
Issue: A multicast configuration issue caused decoders to fall back to individual unicast RTSP sessions for each decoder connected to the NC-Pro15x camera, even when the camera was configured for multicast delivery. With approximately six or more simultaneous streams, the camera became overloaded, resulting in latency spikes, dropped packets, and visible video artifacts. This issue has been present since Q-SYS Designer 10.1, when NC-Pro15x support was initially released.
Workaround: No known workaround. This issue is set to be fixed in a future release.
Earliest Reported Version: 10.1.0
Version Fixed: To be fixed in a future release.
NV-Series decoder loses audio when changing video format in the display component
Issue: When an NV-Series decoder is connected to a display via a MediaCast connection, changing the video format in the display component causes audio output to stop. Video continues to display correctly, but audio is lost. This issue is not specific to any particular format or resolution change.
Workaround: Either disable and re-enable HDMI back from the display component, or switch to an intermediate resolution before switching to the desired one (e.g., change from 4K to 720p first, then from 720p to 1080p60).
Earliest Reported Version: 10.4
Version Fixed: This issue is under investigation
Issues with 1080p MJPEG USB streams when using NC-Pro15x with IO USB Bridge
Issue: NC-Pro15x + IO USB Bridge may exhibit a green screen while bridging. This is caused when the meeting application (teams, zoom, etc) pulls a broken format, 1080p30/15 MJPEG.
Workaround: Use other NC Cameras with any bridging format. Use 720p (1280x720) or less for the USB encoding format instead of 1080p. YUY2 or 720p and below will not show this issue. Using the Core VB (Video Bridge) instead of the IO USB Bridge can avoid the issue.
Earliest Reported Version: 10.1
Version Fixed: This issue is under investigation

Issue: When using the custom imported font “NeueHaasDisplayBold” for text in a Text Block on a UCI, the text does not render as expected in the iOS UCI Viewer app. Text will be cut off around the sides and will not follow the padding or vertical/horizontal alignment settings. Other fonts are unaffected.
Workaround: Use a different font.
Earliest Reported Version: iOS 3.12.1
Version Fixed: This issue is under investigation.
Text Controller - Using Shift+Delete in script window removes any items from main schematic that are selected at the time
Issue: When editing a script, if parts of the design remain selected in the schematic, if you use Shift+Delete to cut code from the script window, items that are selected on the main schematic window are also cut and removed too.
Workaround: Use undo hotkey (Ctrl-Z or Cmd+Z) specifically on the schematic to undo any changes the 'Paste' may have done there.
Earliest Reported Version: 10.1.0
Version Fixed: To be fixed in 10.3
Text Controller - Using Shift+Insert in script window also inserts the selected script text in the main schematic
Issue: When editing a script, if parts of the design remain selected in the schematic, if you use Shift+Insert to copy code into the script window, the selected script text also is inserted into the main schematic window.
Workaround: Use undo hotkey (Ctrl-Z or Cmd+Z) specifically on the schematic to undo any changes the 'Paste' may have done there.
Earliest Reported Version: 10.1.0
Version Fixed: To be fixed in 10.3
Windows UCI Viewer streaming and crashing problems with the Qt Video engine
Issue: If there is more than one instance of the same stream on the same UCI, only the last one in the xml file streams properly. When you have the same video stream on different pages and flip between them it will eventually crash.
Workaround: If the video streams are from different URLs, the issue does not exist. Everything works fine.
Earliest Reported Version: 10.2.0
Version Fixed: This issue will be fixed in a future release.

Microsoft Teams Room: Loses connection if the device is accessed by hostname and its IP changes
Issue: When the MTR component is configured to connect via hostname, and the MTR compute is scheduled for automatic ,nightly reboots, it is possible that the underlying IP address may change with a new assignment from the DHCP server over extended durations. If the IP address changes does change, the MTR component will lose connectivity to the MTR compute and enter a fault state.
Workaround: A reboot is required to pick up the correct address. This will be resolved in a future release.
Earliest Reported Version: 9.9.0. This does not affect the LTS (9.4.x) branch.
Version Fixed: This issue is under investigation.
Call Sync not disabled with vCore
Issue: If a design schematic contains a Call Sync component and the Core Model is changed to 'vCore Control', the Call Sync component remains enabled while any wired Call Systems or Endpoints become properly disabled (grayed out).
Workaround: None. Call Sync is not supported with vCore despite not showing as disabled in designs that use vCore.
Earliest Reported Version: 9.6.0 and 9.4.4 LTS Branch.
Version Fixed: This issue is under investigation.
Platform
Bulk Peripheral Management (Core Manager) not reflecting changes made in Local Peripheral Manager without user interaction
Issue: When settings are changed on a Q-SYS Peripheral Manager (QPM) through the UI, those changes are not reflected in the Q-SYS Bulk Peripheral Management (QBPM). The QBPM remains out of sync with the QPM's updated configuration, requiring manual intervention.
Workaround: No known workaround.
Version Introduced: 10.4
Version Fixed: To be fixed in a future release.
NC Series camera does not allow MAC Address deletion after factory reset
Issue: In Q-SYS Bulk Peripheral Management(QBPM), when deleting the MAC address of an NC Series camera, the device is successfully factory reset, however, the MAC address is not removed from the Bulk Configurator table.
Workaround: Upload the design again to re-sync the table. Before doing so, save peripheral passwords and export settings as a CSV for quick import.
Version Introduced: 10.4
Version Fixed: To be fixed in a future release.
When provisioning with CSV, LAN A populates, instead of LAN B when only LAN B settings are provided
Issue: When uploading a CSV file in Q-SYS Bulk Peripheral Management (QBPM) with LAN B network settings populated but LAN A left empty, the system incorrectly assigns the LAN B values to the LAN A fields. After provisioning, LAN A displays the LAN B entries and LAN B appears empty.
Workaround: If only LAN B configuration is needed, set the LAN A mode to either Auto or Static in the CSV before uploading.
Version Introduced: 10.4
Version Fixed: To be fixed in a future release.
Device unreachable after provisioning and MAC address won't delete from dashboard
Issue: In Q-SYS Designer's Bulk Configuration Manager, after completing the configuration workflow, a device may enter an unreachable state (e.g. network connection lost) while the dashboard still shows it as "Provisioned." Attempting to delete the MAC address for a device in the "Not Reachable" state fails as the MAC address persists after deletion. This also affects bulk deletion when mixing "Not Reachable" and "Not Provisioned" devices.
Workaround: Download peripheral passwords through Peripheral Utilities, delete all configuration from the device, and re-upload the design or perform a physical factory reset on the device.
Version Introduced: 10.4
Version Fixed: To be fixed in a future release.
Removing a single record from Verify CSR Data clears the entire table in Bulk Certificate Manager
Issue: An issue occurs in Q-SYS Designer's Bulk Certificate Manager after selecting multiple certificates, clicking Generate CSR, using a Core's Certificate for location details, and advancing to the Verify Data step. Clicking the "X" button to remove a single record from the Verify CSR Data table incorrectly clears the entire table instead of only the selected record.
Workaround: Avoid clicking the "X" button on individual records in the Verify CSR Data table. Instead, go back and reselect only the desired certificates before proceeding.
Version Introduced: 10.4
Version Fixed: To be fixed in a future release.
AD-C8T-SWZB missing Mode property (Hi/Low Z selection) in Q-SYS Designer 10.x
Issue: The AD-C8T-SWZB loudspeaker component in Q-SYS Designer version 10.0 (and up) is missing the Mode property used to switch between Hi-Z and Low-Z operation. This property is present in LTS 9.13.1. The speaker does have the ability to be set to Hi/Low Z on the speaker hardware.
Workaround: No known workaround. Property is present in LTS 9.13.1.
Version Introduced: 10.0
Version Fixed: This issue is under investigation.
Devices display "Failed to Fetch" status after initial provisioning through QBPM
Issue: After provisioning devices through Q-SYS Business Process Manager (QBPM), devices temporarily report a "Failed to Fetch" status even though the configuration was applied successfully. The device does not immediately transition the the peripheral state. The incorrect status resolves on its own after approximately two minutes following the first successful fetch. Normal device operation is not impacted.
Workaround: Any next action (e.g. refresh the page) will return the correct peripheral state without further intervention.
Version Introduced: 10.4
Version Fixed: This is set to be fixed in a future release.
Core may fail to re-register with an NMOS IS-04 Registry after a Registry reboot or network interruption
Issue: The Core’s GMID appears in lower case at startup, and after extended runtime, the Core may begin publishing its NMOS IS-04 gmid value in uppercase, which doesn’t comply with IS-04 schema. If the NMOS Registry is subsequently rebooted or becomes temporarily unreachable, the Core will fail to re-register automatically. In this state, the Core node and all associated NMOS senders and receivers will be absent from the Registry and will not recover on their own.
Workaround: Either reboot the core, or access the /support/nmos settings page and toggling the NMOS Enable button.
Version Introduced: 10.2, 10.2.1, 10.3
Version Fixed: This issue will be addressed in a future Q-SYS Designer Software release.
Preview of Color Picker in Q-SYS Designer is incorrect when the Hue value is 360
Issue: When using the Color Picker component in Q-SYS Designer, if the Hue fader is moved to the very top so that the Hue value is 360, the Color Picker preview window shows a Magenta color, when it should be a Red color. However, the correct color (#FF…) is selected, and the Color Picker is correctly rendered within UCI Viewer and TSCs.
Workaround: None.
Version Introduced: 9.4.8, 9.13.1, 10.0
Version Fixed: This issue will be fixed in a future release.
