Sharp's New Q-SYS Verified Plugin for Large-Screen Displays

In a significant move to enhance the user experience in audio-visual technology, Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America (SIICA) has unveiled its latest innovation: the Q-SYS™ Verified Plugin. This much-anticipated tool enables direct control and monitoring of Sharp's large-screen displays through the Q-SYS Full Stack AV Platform, showcasing SIICA's commitment to providing high-quality solutions in enterprise and educational environments.

Mark Quiroz, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Sharp's Professional Display Division, emphasized the compatibility of the Q-SYS platform with the diverse needs of their clients. He described the role of this new plugin as crucial—integrating Sharp displays into the widely used Q-SYS Ecosystem allows integrators to create seamless, high-quality AV experiences efficiently. This integration streamlines processes, ensuring that users can manage their audio-visual setups with confidence and ease.

The Q-SYS Verified Plugin was developed in partnership with Q-SYS and is supported by Control Concepts, reflecting a collaborative effort to improve the functionality available to users. With this plugin, integrators can control key display functions—such as power management, input selection, audio settings, brightness adjustment, diagnostics, and status monitoring—directly from the Q-SYS Full Stack platform. This compatibility extends not only to current Sharp large-format displays but also to the popular Sharp All-in-One dvLED models and even legacy NEC large-format displays, broadening the plugin’s versatility.

Incorporating feedback from partners and users alike, the plugin aims at simplifying integrations for systems designers and installers. This simplified approach is essential for those who regularly specify Sharp products in projects with Q-SYS as the chosen control system, addressing the persistent challenge of making AV systems easy to navigate and configure.

The excitement around this new development is shared within the industry, as evidenced by Joey D'Angelo, President of the AV consulting firm D'Angelo and Associates. D'Angelo highlighted the significance of manufacturers like Sharp actively enhancing their integration capabilities with prevalent control platforms. This partnership is expected to improve the overall quality of AV systems that rely on programmed controls, promising better experiences for end-users.

The Q-SYS Verified Plugin is now available on the Q-SYS Library, featuring not only the make it easy to retrieve configuration guidance but also a comprehensive list of supported display models. This resource is invaluable for technicians and integrators looking to maximize the potential of their AV setups with Sharp's cutting-edge display technology.
