Chapter 17. Upgrading Console Software
New versions of QuickQ console software are made available on the downloads page of the
ChamSys website –
It is always recommended to back up your show file before updating the console, although
upgrading should not affect show files and settings on the console.
Update procedure
• Download latest QuickQ console software from
• Copy downloaded file to a USB Drive.
• Unplug any HDMI monitors from the console and power on the console.
• Insert the USB memory stick into the one of the USB sockets on the console (on the rear
panel)
• Select menu button on the top right, then select settings, then update.
• Select update from USB DRIVE.
• Select the file for you console system on the USB drive.
• The software will be copied from the USB stick (takes 10 seconds or more) and then
QuickQ will automatically restart with the new software running.
The console software can now also be updated from within the QuickQ application. In the
Update window the Update Software button now shows a file chooser dialog allowing users to
select a .cdq installer file which will then be installed. The installation can not be stopped
once it has started. The software will restart once the installation is successfully completed.
This can be done from the Remote App, but the USB stick with the new .cdq file should still be
inserted into the console.
