QuickQ Software
QuickQ software is designed with a quick and easy user interface and a comprehensive feature-set that makes programming easy for students, volunteers, or part-time operators, and is even comfortable to use by professionals on small-scale shows.
The smartphone-like interface features an intuitive home screen and gesture support that makes it easy to use. Fixtures can be visually laid out within the software’s home screen exactly as they are rigged, where they can be selected and controlled using simple actions, such as pinch to zoom.
The software incorporates powerful fixture effects, which enable fast and flexible programming. Build cues, cue stacks and chases within the software, re-ordering cues simply by dragging and dropping cues with stacks and syncing chases using sound to light or tap to time them.
QuickQ software runs across the range of QuickQ consoles and is also available as QuickQ Designer for Windows and Mac to enable pre-programming.
