Hi Fabrice50 ,
Thank you, and yes - this was a very important improvement to the NETGEAR AV Line approx. one year ago in terms of Quality of Service (DSCPs, PTP, etc.) that the picture below describes nicely. From now on, any AV profile in the AV user interface and the Engage controller implements the same, unique, do-it-all QoS strategy. As a result, you can run Dante, Q-SYS, AES67, etc. using any of the profiles, anyway:
Thank you for using the NETGEAR AV Line for your AV over IP installation!

Hi Laurent,
In the Qsys profile configuration page there is a PTP-TC Option.
When should i use it ?

Please leave it Disabled as it is by default.
PTP-TC is stamping PTP packets with the residency time in the switches (delay_req field) and you can notice it is enabled by default in AES67 Audio profile, because InterComm systems in general require it, coming from Broadcast/SMPTE world.
In the Q-SYS profiles, we set it disabled by default, because most installations don't require it. It comes down to how your Q-SYS Designer is configured. If you don't know about it, I would advise to let the PTP-TC disabled for now.
