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 When is set to 2 will activate, 3 will release and 4 will toggle the 10Scene item on/off. This will control all zones.

  • X Toggle 10Scene button (<zone>,<button ID>,<state>). When State When is set to 2 will activate, 3 will release and 4 will toggle the 10Scene item on/off. 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.

When using the above commands with a QuickQ 10 console, the CUE STACK Playback is referenced to as Playback 1. The 2 chase playbacks are referenced from left to right when looking at the console as Playbacks 3 and 2 respectively.
Ethernet Remote Control must be enabled in Settings  Network  Protocols for these commands to work.
