Overview

Q-SYS Connect is a software solution that enables seamless integration of Q-SYS TSC-Gen 3 controllers as a native Zoom Room controller. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for setting up Q-SYS Connect in a Zoom Rooms environment. It is designed for systems integrators with a working knowledge of Q-SYS and Zoom Rooms but with no prior experience with Q-SYS Connect.

System Requirements

Hardware

  • Q-SYS Core processor
  • Zoom Rooms Compute device (see minimum specs below)
  • Q-SYS TSC-G3 10” touch controller (two or more recommended)
  • PC with Q-SYS Designer 10.2.1 or later installed
  • Ethernet switch
 
 

Compute Device

A compute device with the minimum specifications below is required.

  • Intel Core i5 (11th Gen) CPU
  • 16 GB RAM

 

 
 

Software

 
 

System Connectivity

Setup | Installation

Use the instructions below for Q-SYS Connect setup and integration.

Note

The instructions below assume the following:

  • Q-SYS Control for Zoom Rooms is installed to the Zoom Rooms Compute Device.
  • Q-SYS Designer Software is installed to a management PC.
 

Zoom Rooms Configuration

  1. Download Q-SYS Connect to the Zoom Rooms Compute Device.
  2. As an Administrator user, open the installer.
  3. Choose Modify or Repair if needed from pre-installation. New installation is otherwise initiated.

  1. Select Zoom Rooms

Note

Microsoft Teams Rooms only supports Room Controls integration.

 
  1. After installation completes, launch the Q-SYS Connect Task Bar application (should be available in taskbar).
  2. Set the network name (to be used by Q-SYS) and select the appropriate network adapter. This is the name that will be used in the Q-SYS design to associate the Virtual UC controller component with Q-SYS Connect running on the target Zoom Room.
  3. Go to the Zoom Admin portal. 
  4. Configure the controller settings for the target Zoom Room(s) as follows:
    1. Set the Hardware ID to QSC:QSC4456 (the Virtual Display driver uses this ID). This allows the Zoom Room Controller UI to be mapped to the Virtual UC Controller signal output.
 
 

Q-SYS Design Integration

One to One | Single Controller Application

  1. Launch Q-SYS Designer.
  2. Add a Q-SYS Connect Zoom Rooms component to your design (do not use any legacy components).
  3. Select Zoom Room from the Room Type Property.
  4. Go to the inventory panel.
  5. Add a Virtual UC Controller subcomponent.
  6. Name this component the same as the name assigned in the Q-SYS Connect tray application.

  1. Add a TSC-101-G3 controller to the design.
  2. Assign name of the target controller.
  3. Set the Mediacast Display property to Yes
  4. Wire the Mediacast output pin of the Virtual UC controller subcomponent (Q-SYS Connect) to the Mediacast input of the TSC.

  1. Go to the File menu. 
  2. Select Save to Core and Run, this will update the design and firmware of the Q-SYS system if necessary.

Once the design is running, Q-SYS Designer will now report the status of the running system. Both the Q-SYS Connect and TSC components should show an OK status indication.

If the deployment is succesful, the Zoom Room controller UI will now be present on the TSC-G3 controller.

 
 

Many to One |  Multiple Controller Application

The example below show the design configuration for four controllers and four Zoom Room compute devices to be used in a combine-divide room application.

  1. Launch Q-SYS Designer.
  2. Add four Q-SYS Connect Zoom Rooms components to your design (do not use any legacy components).
  3. Select Zoom Room from the Room Type Property.
  4. Go to the inventory panel.
  5. Add four Virtual UC Controller subcomponents.
  6. Name this component the same as the name assigned in the Q-SYS Connect tray application for each compute device.
  1. Add four TSC-101-G3 controller to the design.
  2. Assign name of the target controller.
  3. Set the Mediacast Display property to Yes
  4. Add a 4x4 Mediacast router.
  5. Wire the Mediacast output pin of the Virtual UC controller subcomponents (Q-SYS Connect) to the Mediacast router inputs.

  1. Wire the Mediacast router output pins to the Mediacast input of the TSCs.
  1. Go to the File menu. 
  2. Select Save to Core and Run, this will update the design and firmware of the Q-SYS system if necessary.

When deployed, the Mediacast router can be used to map the controller UI and touch events between the desired computes and controllers in the space.

Example

For this design in a 4-way divisible space, each room has an instance of Q-SYS Connect running on the Zoom Room in that subdivided space and each controller is mapped 1:1 to the corresponding compute in the room.

When all rooms are combined, a primary compute will be used to run the meeting for the entire space, and the Mediacast router is used to direct the video and touch events between all the controllers and single compute in a many to one mapping.

 
 
 
 

Tips to Ensure Proper Operation

  • Verify driver installation:
    • Open Command Prompt
    • Enter pnputil /enum-drivers /class display

  • Verify that Q-SYS Connect is allowed in firewall settings.
