QSC Q-SYS NV-21-HU Q-SYS Network Video Endpoints

Q-SYS NV-21-HU USB-C Network Video Endpoint for Professional AV Integration The Q-SYS NV-21-HU is a compact, software-configurable USB-C AV endpoint designed to deliver advanced 4K60 video distribution, AV bridging, and device charging via a single USB-C connection. This native network video endpoint for the Q-SYS Platform provides seamless HDMI AV distribution and software-defined functionality as either an encoder or decoder, making it an ideal solution for scalable, modular AV system deployments in commercial environments. Key Features and Benefits Single-Cable USB-C Connectivity: Distributes 4K60 4:4:4 video, integrates Q-SYS camera/audio, and charges devices simultaneously. Flexible Configuration: Operates as either encoder or decoder via Q-SYS Designer Software, supporting both USB-C and HDMI modes. Compact Form Factor: Ideal for installations where space is limited, without sacrificing performance. AV Bridging Integration: Enables low-latency AV bridging to UC platforms for conference room AV setups. Scalable Architecture: Supports expansion across a wide variety of applications using commercial AV integration standards. Native Q-SYS Platform Compatibility: Fully integrated into the Q-SYS OS with plugin support and centralized control. Ideal Applications Boardrooms Conference rooms Government meeting rooms Multi-purpose meeting spaces Houses of worship Hospitality venues Educational classrooms and lecture halls All-hands and hybrid collaboration spaces Technical Specifications Video I/O HDMI 2.0 Input: 1x HDMI, supports up to 4K60 4:4:4 USB-C Input: USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 (5Gbps), DP Alt Mode (DP 1.4 Sink), up to 4K60 4:4:4 HDMI Output: 1x HDMI with 4K60 4:4:4 scaling support Audio I/O HDMI Input: 8-channel PCM audio, Q-SYS routable USB-C Input: 8-channel PCM, 1x1 speakerphone, 2x2 soundcard, Q-SYS routable HDMI Output: 8-channel PCM audio General Dimensions: 7.3 x 5.2 x 1.2 in (185 x 131.5 x 30.5 mm) Weight: 1.75 lbs (794 g) Mounting: Includes flexible surface mounting hardware LAN: 1000BASE-T and 2.5GBASE-T compliant Power & Connectivity Power over Ethernet: PoE Type 3, Class 5 (40W PD) Aux Power Supply: 12V DC, 9A (NV-21-PSU sold separately) USB-C Power Delivery: Up to 65W charging Environmental Operating Temperature: 0° to 40°C Humidity: 5% to 90% non-condensing Storage Temperature: -20° to 70°C Expected Lifecycle: 10 years Visual Overview Encoder Configuration Decoder Configuration Competitive Advantages All-in-One Device: Combines video encoding/decoding and AV bridging in a single unit.
