Q-SYS Quickstarts : Intro to Control Scripting
NOTE: Some of the components shown in this video are out-of-date. For instance, the video shows a Custom Controls component wired to a Control Script component, but the latest version of Q-SYS has a Text Controller which is a combination of these two older components. While the scripting shown in this video is still accurate and may be useful, there are also alternative ways to accomplish this task with the Block Controller as well. If you’re interested in these topics, we highly recommend checking out our “Control Training 101” online training curriculum which offers a much deeper dive into control training and scripting than is provided in this video.
