AV company QSC has announced Q-SYS' first product of the year with the launch of its latest addition to the Q-SYS NV Series - the NV-1-H-WE.
This new product offers a discreet and innovative solution aimed at enhancing network video distribution in spaces where traditional surface-mount enclosures are not suitable.
"We are thrilled to announce the launch of the NV-1-H-WE wallplate encoder, which can be installed in a variety of spaces including classrooms, hospitality spaces, conference rooms and other professional environments,”
says Sanjay Kulkarni, Senior Director, Product Management, Q-SYS.
“This innovative product features a versatile wallplate form factor, thoughtfully designed for discreet integration and effortless usability for end-users."
Examining the New Addition
A wallplate encoder is a device designed to encode video signals, such as HDMI, into a format suitable for transmission over an Ethernet network.
Unlike traditional encoders that are often standalone units requiring surface mounting, wallplate encoders are embedded into a wall or similar structure, offering a discreet and space-saving solution.
This makes it suitable for professional environments such as classrooms, conference rooms, and hospitality spaces where aesthetics and functionality are equally important.
The Q-SYS NV-1-H-WE wallplate encoder specifically supports single-channel HDMI input and integrates seamlessly into the Q-SYS ecosystem.
It enables the distribution of high-quality, low-latency video signals (up to 4K resolution) over IP networks using adaptive encoding technology like Q-SYS Shift.
Expanding the Q-SYS NV Series Portfolio
The NV-1-H-WE joins an already large lineup of Q-SYS NV Series products, including the NV-32-H multi-stream video endpoint and the recently released NV-21-HU compact, dual-channel endpoint.
These complement each other by allowing system designers to mix and match endpoints, creating customised video distribution solutions tailored to specific connectivity requirements, I/O density, and physical form factors.
