QuickQ - Controlling from other systems using UDP for example Crestron using Ethernet Remote Control
- Send UDP commands over the network to the IP address of the console. QuickQ uses ChamSys Ethernet Remote Control, referenced in the QuickQ Manual Section 21
First, set up the IP address and subnet in Settings, Network, Wired
Enable Ethernet Remote Control in Settings Network Protocols for these commands to work
- 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
Send UDP commands from your chosen software.
Each command is an ASCII string with a number followed by a letter.
Sending 10A will activate Playback 10.
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%)
* Note: You must activate a Playback at a level to output lighting levels onstage before you use G "Go on a Playback" The first time this is used, it will also activate the first cue. example
X Toggle 10Scene button (<button ID>,<state>). When State = 0 will toggle the 10Scene item on/off. When set to 2, it 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.
*Special Notes for 10 Scene Commands
The action of an X (<zone>,<button ID>,<state>) command will apply to the current setting in the 10scene window.
Example:
0,1,4X command is Zone 0=All Zones, Button ID 1, Toggle on/off when used with "10 scene toggles playbacks on and off" will toggle playback 1 on/off
The Network protocol window can be used to monitor and confirm incoming data. Access via
- Main Menu >Settings > Network>Protocols
Sending 0,1,4X will result as below in the Monitor window
