QSC SysNav™ (System Navigator) App QSC SysNav™ is a application intended to be used with QSC next-generation, intelligent, L Class compatible loudspeaker systems. The software allows the user to easily design, configure, control, monitor and apply signal processing to individual loudspeakers or full arrays, providing a rich, detailed and intuitive control and monitoring environment, from pre-deployment loudspeakers’ parameter setup to post-show review of equipment operation logs. Easy System Configuration SysNav allows the user to design, configure, name, group and apply signal processing to individual loudspeakers and loudspeaker arrays. The easy-to-use App uses a virtual catalog of devices or online control of network-discovered QSC loudspeakers. Detailed Control and Monitoring SysNav lets the user monitor the audio system from an information-rich ‘List View’ of all loudspeakers. A simple touch on a device name will display every parameter that can be adjusted. Errors and lost connections are clearly announced and can be analyzed via post-show equipment operation logs. QSC AWARE™ communication with SysNav QSC AWARE (Automatic Wireless Array Recognition) technology uses active loudspeakers' internal accelerometers and infra-red communication links to determine the status, position and angle of each loudspeaker in the array, as well as the total number, global tilt and coverage of the entire array. The information acquired by AWARE is communicated via the network to the SysNav App, allowing the operator to apply the correct Ar-Q™ Array Equalization by a single click, in order to achieve optimum performance.
