Selecting Fixtures 

Tap to select fixtures. Once selected, fixture icons highlight green, as pictured above. Selected fixtures can quickly 
be given 100% or 0% intensity by tapping the corresponding buttons near the top right of the display. Once 
selected, fixtures can be programmed via the Intensity, Position, Colour and Beam windows (see section 3.2). 

3.2 Controlling Fixtures with QuickQ 

Controlling Fixtures 

 
Fixtures can be controlled directly by selecting them and their attributes (intensity, Colour, Beam, and Position) 
adjusted. Any adjustments made can be recorded into cues. Fixtures may also be controlled by cues.

 

Selecting Fixtures 

 

Fixtures can be selected in several ways, using:

 

Multifunction faders on the left of the console in fixture mode (press the [FIX] mode button):

 

 

 

Raise one or more of the multifunction faders. The fader controls the fixtures intensity. 

 

Pressing the fixture select button beneath a fixture fader. This does not affect intensity. 

 

Multiple fixtures can be selected in one go.  Press on a button beneath the fader for the start of the range 
and at the same time press a fixture button that defines the end of the range.  

 

The multifunction faders on the left of the console in group mode (press the [GRP] mode button):

 

 

 

Raise one or more of the multifunction faders. The fader controls the group of fixtures intensity. 

 

Multiple groups of fixtures can be selected in one go. Press on a button beneath the fader for the start of 
the range and at the same time press a fixture button that defines the end of the range.  

 

Home Screen:

 

 

 

Touching one or more of the fixture icons in the home screen. 

 

Touching one or more of the group icons in the home screen. 

 

Selected fixtures have a green border around the icon in the home screen, or around the group’s icon and the 
included fixtures. 

 

Selected fixtures have a brighter LED above the fader.

 

You can deselect a fixture by selecting it again.

 

Controlling Fixtures with Cues 

Fixtures may also be controlled by cues. Cues can be recorded and played back on one or more of the playbacks 
1-10, or from one or more the multifunction faders, when they are in cue mode. (Press the [CUE] mode button). 
Playbacks can have one or more cues recorded on them. Cue mode faders can have only one cue recorded to 
them.

 

Capture Fixtures - Clear Fixtures 

Fixtures that have had attributes changed directly using one of the select methods are considered to be 
“captured” and any adjustments to their attributes will be output directly. This means the selected fixtures values 
will be held until the (Clear) button in the main menu bar is pressed. If (clear) is selected, then fixture values will 
return to any values being applied from cues, either from cues on the playbacks or from cue mode fader cues.

 

 
Parameter values captured from directly selected fixtures can be recorded into cues.
