Q-SYS vCore Virtual Core – Use Cases

First, we're looking at really a V-Core based space, okay?

And this is kind of a solution where the story is, uh, you know,

there's a kind of fixed limited budget here.

In this case, the end user already had an integrated video bar for us to work with,

so this is a perfect example of,

"Hey, I don't need Q-SYS audio or Q-SYS video management,

but I still want to normalize the experience with my higher impact Q-SYS based spaces.

" So let's dive into, you know, what this room gives us.

We've actually got a Lenovo compute, uh, here,

and that's actually providing us a platform to run the V-Core on.

We've got a seven-inch touch panel on the table,

and then we've got some Network Solutions for control of lighting,

HVAC, and occupancy sensor, and also Network controlled Shades.

Okay, so this is a really kind of native solution, um, that V-Core is best designed for.

So if we take a look at the schematic,

what we see here is really a full control solution for a small space like this.

So I've got really easy control of my display, both, you know,

power as well as status and monitoring of the sensors in the room as well.

You can see here we've got our occupancy sensor, which we already took a look at,

and we've also got a sensor in our tabletop touch panel.

So, rather than providing the end user with manual power control,

here you can see the route that we've chosen to take is to automatically

turn the room on anytime that the sensors sense the presence of a user in the room.

And then also use things like the date and time to automatically  

shut that room down at the end of the day, right?

So really removing some complexity for the user  

compared to a room that doesn't have a control system at all.

If we go and take a look at that user experience,

here you can see we've got full real-time control of our shades, our HVAC,

and because we can do both control and feedback here, you can see that as I adjust the HVAC,

it'll also update me as the room continues to change.

I've got control of my lights as well as feedback for that.

And then useful information for the end user, like how to adjust the volume on their own device.

And if they so choose, let's say we had a couple of wired connections here,

I could certainly change the input on the TV quite easily from here. Okay.
