This QSC Q-SYS QIO-S4 Q-SYS Network 4 Serial Communication I/O Expander expands your Q-SYS system's capabilities to enable streamlined interoperability with non-networked control devices via serial connectivity.

By separating local I/O from processing hardware, the QIO Series offers modular and easily scalable network I/O to support your desired topology.

Network Serial Connectivity Where You Need It: The QIO-S4 allows you to provide your Q-SYS system with greater flexibility to deploy serial control connectivity where it's most convenient.

The QIO-S4 features four (4) bi-directional RS-232 serial ports, including one port with RS-422 and RS-485 compatibility, enabling Q-SYS control over lighting systems, video displays, conference systems, and more.

Additionally, each QIO Series I/O expander features a compact form factor that can be rack- or surface-mounted.

Expanded I/O Customization: The QIO Series provides 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.

The QIO Series also lets you customize your I/O configuration and complements newer Q-SYS Core models designed with fewer onboard I/O options, including Core Nano, Core 8 Flex, and NV-32-H (Core Capable).

Simplicity and Scalability: Daisy-chain up to four QIO Series devices on a single network run using local daisy-chained DC power. This helps conserve network ports, reduce rack clutter, and simplify future expansion without pulling additional network cables.

Alternatively, QIO Series devices support Power over Ethernet (PoE), providing single-cable connectivity when devices are not daisy-chained.

Designed for Q-SYS: The QIO Series delivers native network I/O customization for Q-SYS, a cloud-manageable audio, video, and control platform designed to provide scalable and flexible AV solutions.

QSC Q-SYS QIO-S4 Questions & Answers

The QSC QIO-S4 is a Q-SYS network I/O expander that adds serial communication ports to a compatible Q-SYS system, enabling control of supported external devices.
The QIO-S4 has four bi-directional serial ports. Three support RS-232, while one port supports RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 communication.
The QIO-S4 supports RS-232 on all four ports, with one port additionally supporting RS-422 and RS-485. Protocol settings, baud rate, and flow control are configurable.
Yes. When integrated and configured in a compatible Q-SYS system, its serial ports can control supported devices such as displays, lighting systems, and conference equipment.
Yes. The QIO-S4 conforms to IEEE 802.3af Type 1 PoE, allowing power and network connectivity through a compatible Ethernet connection when not using a daisy-chained power arrangement.
Yes. Up to four QIO Series devices can be daisy-chained on a single network run, using local daisy-chained DC power as described in the product documentation.
The QIO-S4 is designed for integration with Q-SYS systems. Confirm compatibility with your Core model, software version, and intended system configuration in current Q-SYS documentation.
The QIO-S4 supports surface and wall mounting with included mounting hardware. It can also be installed in a rack using the separately sold QIO-RMK rack-mount kit.
