QuickQ consoles now have a simple remote control protocol allowing them to be controlled from 3rd party control systems over a network. The QuickQ Manual has details of how to use the protocol.

  • The Lamp On and Lamp Off buttons will remain enabled when the programmer is active but will give a warning that they will clear the programmer.

  • Pinch zoom in the Layout window is now less sensitive.

  • The Layout window no longer zooms out when the screen saver activates.

  • Fix issue where the Remote App did not show the Tap To Time buttons.

v5.0 Stable

New Features

  • The Events Window has been added. This allows playbacks to be turned on and off at set times, once a day, every hour or on a specific day.

  • 10Scene panels can now control either the 10 playbacks or the first ten item on the execute grid.

  • Add a Help button to the Remote connection window for requesting help from ChamSys Support.

Bug Fixes

  • Fix issue where the Password Dialogs would allow passwords that were too long. Passwords must be less than 15 characters long #23982.
