Figure 53 QLab - Fabl

The QLab device controls Figure 53 QLab, the show-control application, so your rundown can fire sound, video, and lighting cues that already live in a QLab workspace.

Connection

Provide the host, the send port, and the reply port. If the machine holds more than one workspace, name the workspace ID; if the workspace is protected, set its passcode.

Commands

Command	What it does
Transport	Runs a transport action — start, stop, pause, resume and the rest — on a target cue
Select cue	Selects a cue by number or by unique id
Move playhead	Moves the standby cue to a specific cue number
Load to position	Loads a cue and sets its playback position to a time in seconds
Set audio level	Sets an audio cue’s slider level in dB for a channel, where 0 is the master
Authenticate	Authenticates to the workspace with its passcode

Cues can be addressed by number, by unique id, or as the current selection. A raw OSC command is available for any address not listed here.

Addressing by unique id survives renumbering. A cue number is easier to read in a rule, but it changes when someone reorders the workspace — an id does not.

State and triggers

The device reports its connection state and raises a trigger when the connection changes.
