QSC QIO-IR1x4 – Network IR I/O Expander

Q-SYS peripheral providing control expansion with 1 IR receiver, 4 IR emitters. Up to 4 devices daisy-chainable. 1U-1/4W, powered over Ethernet or +24 VDC. Surface mountable, rack kit sold separately.

The QSC QIO-IR1x4 is a compact and intelligent IR (infrared) I/O expander designed for use within the Q-SYS Ecosystem, enabling seamless integration and control of IR-enabled third-party devices such as TVs, projectors, media players, and more. It features 1 IR input (receiver) and 4 IR outputs (emitters), allowing it to receive IR signals and transmit commands over the network through Q-SYS control scripts or user interfaces.

Designed for ease of deployment, the QIO-IR1x4 communicates over standard Ethernet and supports Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), eliminating the need for additional power adapters. With a DIN-rail or surface-mountable form factor, it fits neatly in AV racks, control closets, or behind displays.

This IR expander simplifies centralized or distributed AV control across various applications like meeting rooms, classrooms, digital signage systems, and hospitality environments.

Features & Benefits

 

  • The first native network IR connectivity solution for Q-SYS
  • One (1) IR receiver input and four (4) IR emitter outputs
  • Power over Ethernet (PoE) capable
  • Daisy-chain up to four QIO expanders on a single network run (with local daisy-chained DC power)
  • Simple drag-and-drop integration and comprehensive management via Q-SYS Designer Software and Q-SYS Reflect
  • Surface- or rack-mountable (1RU, quarter width)
  • Includes surface mounting hardware
  • The first native IR connectivity solution for Q-SYS
    The QIO-IR1x4 allows you to provide your Q-SYS system with greater flexibility to deploy IR control connectivity where it’s most convenient. The QIO-IR1x4 features one (1) IR receiver input and four (4) IR emitter outputs, enabling Q-SYS control for a broad range of professional/consumer devices including video displays, media players and more. Additionally, each of the QIO Series I/O expanders features a compact form factor that can be rack- or surface-mounted.
  • Expanded I/O customization
    QIO Series is intended to present a simpler way to add network I/O connectivity to Q-SYS systems, decoupling the physical location of the I/O from processing hardware to support distributed or centralized processing architectures. Additionally, QIO Series lets you customize your I/O configuration, and compliments the strengths of newer Q-SYS Core models that were designed with fewer onboard I/O options (Core Nano, Core 8 Flex, or NV-32-H (Core Capable)).

  • Simplicity & scalability
    Daisy-chain up to four of the QIO Series devices on a single network run (with local daisy-chained DC power) to consume fewer network ports, avoid rack clutter, and allow for quicker future expansion without pulling additional network cables. Alternatively, QIO Series are also PoE-capable, providing simple single cable connectivity (when devices aren’t daisy-chained).
  • Designed for Q-SYS
    The QIO Series deliver native network I/O customization to Q-SYS, a cloud-manageable audio, video and control platform, built to deliver scalable, flexible AV solutions into the future.  Learn more about Q-SYS.
