Version 11 Change Notes

QuickQ v11 introduces a new colour mixing system for use in studios. This mode offers advanced control over colour temperature and green shift and allows you to limit the fixtures' colour mix system to a defined colour gamut such as sRGB or Display P3.

In Studio Colour mode the colour of the centre of the HS wheel can be set to a different white by using the colour temperature and green shift faders. The Saturation control will allow you to fade between your chosen white and a saturated colour.

Pressing the buttons below the white point faders shows a popup which allows quick selection of preset white points, colour temperatures and green/magenta shifts.

Studio Colour Mode also adds a CIE1932 chromaticity diagram showing the currently selected fixtures' colour gamut, and the gamut being controlled by the HS wheel. Click on the diagram to expand it, then click on the reduced HS wheel to bring it back.

QuickQ v11 also introduces a new Studio mode, alongside Live and Theatre. This is optimised for use in Studios and removes features that are generally not used in Studios.

Record All by Default is always active in Studio Mode, as is Studio Colour mixing.

Cue Stacks and Chases are not available in Studio Mode and QuickQ will warn if you have some programmed and try to switch to Studio Mode. However single cues can still be recorded and moved onto the UsUsed Cue Stacks Window to free up faders.

In Studio Mode the Layout Window gains an intensity fader to give quick control of intensities from a tablet or phone.

The SNAP button will snap all the selected fixtures to the colour to the color of the first selected fixture. If the fixtures are of different type QuickQ will use the colourimetry data for those fixture to achieve an accurate match. The old functionality is used when the colour mix mode is Use only RGB emitters.

The DEF button will set the fixtures to white. In Use All Emitters colour mix mode this is D65 white. When using Studio Colour Mixing you can set the white point.

When you create Red, Green and Blue faders for colour mixing QuickQ will now prompt to set the default colour for the affected fixtures to Black. We recommend using the Colour Window and palettes for controlling colours.

The colour wheel Hue now rotates in the same direction as the Hue encoder.

The DEF button will attempt to set the fixture to D65 white.

The SNAP button will match colours when different types of fixtures are selected. This will work better when the console has the emitter data for the fixture. It is not accurate when using CMY colour mixing or colour wheels.
