01 / WHY STAGEQ
Your QLab Mac can stay
where it belongs
Leave the Mac by the stage, in the rack or backstage
From the house, tech desk or control booth, a Windows PC becomes your QLab watch screen and control surface
02 / QLAB REMOTE
For QLab remote control
from a Windows PC
StageQ is a QLab remote app for Windows, built for show control and cue monitoring while QLab 5 runs on the Mac
Connect to QLab over OSC
Put the Mac and Windows PC on the same network, enable OSC Access in QLab, and connect StageQ.
GO, STOP and Panic for showtime
StageQ focuses on live operation, not editing, so the controls you need during the show stay clear.
03 / FEATURES
The show-critical stuff
in one clean window
No editing clutter, no hunting around
Just the cue information and controls you need once the show is live
Follow the cue list
Cue numbers, names, durations, Continue modes and cue colors stay visible
Updates in QLab come through automatically
Stay in sync
Select a cue in StageQ or in QLab and the other screen follows
No more wondering which cue you are on
NOW PLAYING
See what is playing, how far in you are and what time remains
Perfect for quick checks during a busy cue stack
Show controls, simplified
GO, STOP, Panic and cue selection are kept simple
Big, clear controls for moments when hesitation is expensive
04 / SAFETY
Made for showtime
with fewer ways to slip
StageQ is not where you build the show
It is the calmer, safer screen you use once the audience is in the room
No accidental double-click playback
Playback starts only from GO or the Space key
So checking a cue does not accidentally fire it
Lock it down when you only need to watch
Turn off operation, selection and seeking while the QLab status display keeps following along
Know when the link drops
StageQ watches for lost QLab responses or closed workspaces
So you are not operating blind
05 / MINI MODE
Keep QLab visible
while the rest of the desk is busy
MINI mode gives you the essentials in a small always-on-top window
Useful when audio, lighting or video software is taking over the screen
- Current cue and remaining time
- Progress and Continue mode
- Auto lock for monitoring-only use
06 / USE CASES
Work from the position that makes sense
