USB Fusion device certified as Magewell’s first Q-SYS plugin

Video interface and IP workflow innovator Magewell has joined the Q-SYS Technology Partner Program.

The programme enables software and hardware technology partners to create market-ready solutions that integrate seamlessly with the Q-SYS cloud-manageable audio, video and control platform.

The first result of the initiative – the Q-SYS Control plugin for Magewell’s USB Fusion video capture, mixing and presentation device – has been endorsed with Q-SYS Certified status and is available for download through the Q-SYS Designer Asset Manager in Q-SYS Designer Software.

Magewell’s USB Fusion hardware and accompanying app allows users to combine cameras, wired or wireless screenshares, and media file sources into visually compelling live presentations for streaming, live-event production, online lectures, webinars, videoconferencing and other applications. Users can switch between sources or combine inputs into attractive scene layouts.

The initial release of the Magewell USB Fusion plugin for Q-SYS supports basic source switching and scene layout capabilities. All functionality available through the front-panel buttons on the USB Fusion hardware can be replicated inside Q-SYS Designer Software. Support for additional USB Fusion features is planned for a future update of the plugin.

Nick Ma, Magewell’s chief executive and chief technology officer, said: “Seamless integration between our products and integrated audio, video and control platforms makes AV deployments significantly easier for both systems integrators and end users.

“We’re excited to join the Q-SYS Technology Partner Program and to launch the USB Fusion as our first Q-SYS plugin. We look forward to integrating more of our solutions into Q-SYS in the future.”

Magewell will showcase devices including the USB Fusion on Stand 5E710 at ISE.
