BASIS 922uz

QSControl.net™ Digital System

QSControl.net, QSC’s next generation network audio system, achieves the seamless integration of the company’s signal transport, control, processing, and monitoring technologies. QSControl.net brings together QSC’s digital, power amplification and loudspeaker products into a unified system that enables the user to administrate it all via a fully integrated graphical user interface. The new generation BASIS™ devices are designed to operate under the company’s QSControl.net platform.

BASIS 922uz

The BASIS platform meets the control, monitoring, signal transport and processing needs of amplification and loudspeaker systems over an Ethernet network. The BASIS 922uz units combine three distinct QSC technologies within a single hardware unit. Amplifier and loudspeaker control, monitoring and protection, configurable DSP, and CobraNet™ audio transport are seamlessly integrated into one powerful single RU package.

Through QSControl.net, QSC’s BASIS and next-generation RAVE and DSP products can be networked together and controlled from a single software interface. In addition, multiple networked computers can be set up to control and monitor all of the units simultaneously.

Fixed Latency DSP

Users of most other configurable DSP systems are familiar with a variable latency inherent in the processing configuration. Add more processing blocks and you also add delay, whether you want it or not. QSC’s DSP engine is unique in having a short and fixed processing latency through the DSP subsystem. When the A/D and D/A converters are included, the total analog-to-analog latency of a single unit is a negligible 2.354 milliseconds. QSC’s fixed latency DSP is configurable DSP that stays fast and predictable from one configuration to the next.
