GUDE and QSC announce cooperation

Power strips get native driver support in Q-SYS

GUDE Systems, the German manufacturer of intelligent power strips, announces its successful cooperation with QSC. QSC is a US-based provider of professional audio/video (AV) products. Effective today, the two companies are providing drivers that enable seamless integration of GUDE power strips into QSC’s Q-SYS control software.

Q-SYS is a leading control platform for audio-video environments with cloud-based IT architecture. Through the collaboration, installers of AV environments and their users can benefit from smooth control and monitoring of GUDE’s power distributors.

Setting up and displaying this data within Q-SYS can be done by the user with just a few clicks. Without having to switch applications, users can use it to perform switching operations of the power distribution systems, detect critical environmental conditions at an early stage, and set up cost-saving automations.

The aspect of sustainability and energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important in the operation of IT and AV infrastructures. The compatibility of Q-SYS with switchable IP power strips from GUDE gained from the cooperation fully benefits the user in the infrastructure here. Above all, he also benefits from fast and seamless integration. Here are all details on our Q-SYS certified PDUs as well as the plug-ins available in QSC’s Asset Manager.
