Providing system-wide design, control, and monitoring functions within an advanced feature set built expressly for the QSControl.net platform, QSC's Venue Manager V3.0 made its first official industry appearance at this year's InfoComm.

New features found within Venue Manager V3.0 include both design and live modes of operation, the ability to design and view an entire system without the need for hardware, and update functions in either mode that can be used to establish new network-wide settings with a single mouse click. An Auto-Discovery feature is also provided that reveals every BASIS processing device on a QSControl.net network, saving users from the hassle of ever having to enter a BASIS IP address again.

Global presets established within Venue Manager V3.0 can house any number of parameters from one to all, and additionally have the power to be recalled from Omni inputs of any device within an application.

A dedicated Masters section found within Venue Manager V3.0 can be utilised to build a template of master control for an entire system. Conversely, a single master can control any number of similar parameters from an unlimited number of devices.

As further complement, QSCreator V3.0 is also hosted within the new Venue Manager package. Drawing upon the resources afforded by an extensive library of faders, knobs, buttons, meters, indicators, graphics, and more, QSCreator is a tool that can be used to build custom control screens, or even run on its own without Venue Manager for live applications. Within QSCreator, users can  display any Venue Manager parameter as required.

Once a template of system control has been developed, QSCreator can be established as the only piece of software required for system operations-a fact that serves nicely as a safeguard against the possibility of making accidental adjustments or unauthorised tampering.
