Ethernet Remote Control

QuickQ consoles feature a simple remote control protocol allowing them to be controlled from 3rd party control systems over a network.

When Ethernet Remote Control is switched on in the Network Settings Window the console will listen for UDP messages on port 6553. The port number is fixed and cannot be changed.

The Ethernet Remote Control messages do not require any heading.

Each command is an ASCII string with a number followed by a letter.

The supported commands are:

  • A Activate Playback

  • R Release Playback

  • T Activate Playback at 100%

  • U Release Playback 0%

  • G Go on Playback

  • S Stop (go back) on Playback

  • J Jump to Cue on Playback

  • L Set Level of playback (<playback number>,<level>L Set playback fader level, for example 4,50L to set Playback 4 to 50%)

  • X Toggle 10Scene button (<button ID>,<state>). When State = 0 will toggle the 10Scene item on/off. When set to 2 will activate and 3 will release. This will control all zones.

  • X Toggle 10Scene button (<zone>,<button ID>,<state>). When State = 4 the command will toggle the 10Scene item on/off. When state is 2 it will activate and 3 will release. When zone is 0 it will control all the zones.

A number is prefixed before the command to denote the item that the command will control. For example sending 10A will activate Playback 10.

Ethernet Remote Control must be enabled in Settings  Network  Protocols for these commands to work.
