10Scene Window and 10Scene Wall Plates

10Scene buttons create simple, quick architectural control.

10Scene buttons are available as 10 button wall plates, 10 buttons on the front panel of the QuickQ Rack, or the 10Scene app for iOS, Android and Microsoft Windows.

To connect 10Scene wall plates to a QuickQ console use a 10Scene Gateway (up to 20 per Gateway), 10Scene wall plates can be connected directly to the QuickQ Rack (up to 40).

A QuickQ system can support up to 40 10Scene wall plates connected via either direct sockets on the rack or across Gateways. A maximum of 10 Gateways can be connected to a QuickQ system.

Access the 10Scene Window from the main menu.

The 10Scene Window has four views, Panel view, Contact Events, Gateways and the 10Scene settings.

10Scene buttons can be used to toggle on and off either the first 10 execute buttons on the execute page, the 10 playbacks or using Zones to activate execute buttons in Zones.

Settings

QuickQ offers four operation modes for 10Scene wall plates:

10Scene toggles playbacks 1-10 on and off, in this mode 10Scene wall plates will toggle on and off playbacks recorded on right-hand side of the console, these can be either a cue or a chase.
10Scene toggles executes 1-10 on and off, in this mode 10Scene wall plates will toggle on and off the first 10 execute cues recorded in the Execute Window.
10Scene controls execute in zones set by groups
10Scene controls executes in rows, in this mode 10Scene wall plates will toggle executes in zones defined by rows. The execute grid must be 10 cells wide, for example: 10x1, 10x6 or 10x10.

QuickQ supports up to 10 Zones.

Sequential Zones can be joined together in the 10Scene Settings Window, for example Zone 1 and 2 joined allowing all 10 zones to be joined together if desired. This is useful for spaces like a ballroom, where there may be a temporary airwall fitted and have multiple entrance doors. Zones can be joined allowing the room to operate as 1. When Zones are joined 10Scene Wall Plates would control all linked zones. It’s possible to use contact triggers to automate the joining and splitting of Zones.

Choose the option you want in the 10Scene Window Settings tab.

Panel

The 10Scene Panel window emulates a 10Scene wall plate in any of the 10 zones, or control all of them.

The 10Scene Panel view can control any of the 10 Zones that QuickQ supports, using the drop down at the top right of the panel

Contact Events

Each of the 10Scene connectors on the QuickQ Rack or Gateway has a contact pin that can be configured to trigger an Execute or Playback, or can join two zones together so that the Wall Panels for both zones control the lights in multiple zones.

Add a contact event in the Contact Events Window using the +.

Select the socket number (10Scene ports on Gateways are always sockets 1 & 2).

Contact events can action their target when the contact turns On, Off, On and Off or Off and On. They can also set or reset the emergency look.

Set Target is used to select the execute or playback item to action when the contact event is received, contact events action can also be used to join zones.

QuickQ supports 4 unique contact inputs per system. Gateways are always socket 1 and 2.

Gateways

SnakeSys Gateway interfaces are used to connect 10Scene wall plates to a QuickQ Console or additional 10Scene wall plates to the QuickQ Rack. Each Gateway has 2 10Scene sockets to connect up to 20 10Scene wall plates (10 per socket) and 2 contacts.

The Gateways tab displays Gateways that are connected to the system and allows for configuration of these interfaces.

The Gateway name, IP address and subnet mask can be configured from the Gateways tab using the Action menu.

The IP address of the console can be set in the Wired Network Settings Window.

10Scene Gateways must be enabled in 10Scene Settings Enable Gateways for Gateways to work.

Configuring 10Scene Wall Plates

10Scene Wall Plates can be connected directly to the QuickQ Rack and QuickQ DIN’s via the 10Scene Ports on these units. The GeNetix 10Scene Gateway can be used to connect 10Scene Wall Plates to QuickQ Consoles.

QuickQ Consoles support up to 10 Zones and up to 4 10Scene Ports in the Ecosystem. Each 10Scene Port can have up to 10 10Scene Wall Plates daisy chained to it.

Each 10Scene Wall Plate has a unique ID. 10Scene Wall Plates ship with a default factory ID. When using Zones with QuickQ, the 10Scene Wall Plate ID = Zone ID.

Connecting 10Scene Wall Plates & Gateways

10Scene uses its own 10Scene protocol for communication between wall mounts and the controller. The recommended installation cable to be used is standard Cat5e or Cat6 networking cable, the unit is not supplied with any cable. 10Scene wall mounts are powered over the 10Scene protocol, no external power supply is required.

Connections

10Scene wall plates feature punch down connectors which are wired using the below table. 10Scene Wall mounts should be wired before connecting to QuickQ Rack/Gateway Interface.

Pin Name Description Recommended wiring 1 POWER - Negative power in/out CAT5e Brown pair IN (twisted together or punched into pins 1 and 2 if not daisy chaining) 2 POWER - Negative power in/out CAT5e Brown pair OUT (twisted together or punched into pins 1 and 2 if not daisy chaining) 3 POWER + Positive power in/out CAT5e Orange pair IN (twisted together or punched into pins 3 and 4 if not daisy chaining) 4 POWER + Positive power in/out CAT5e Orange pair OUT (twisted together or punched into pins 3 and 4 if not daisy chaining) 5 10Scene 0V 10Scene 0V (NOT USED) NOT USED 6 10Scene H 10Scene signal High in/out CAT5e Blue/white wire IN/OUT 7 10Scene L 10Scene signal Low in/out CAT5e Blue wire IN/OUT 8 10Scene 0V 10Scene 0V (NOT USED) NOT USED

When looking at the rear of the 10Scene Pin 1 is at the top left and Pin 5 at the top right.

When daisy chaining, twist 10Scene High IN and High OUT wires together and connect to Pin 6, and twist 10Scene Low IN and Low OUT wires together and connect to Pin 7.

Setting 10Scene Wall Plate IDs

Each 10Scene Wall Plate in the system should have a unique ID. Where Zones are not being used, for example when 10Scene Wall Plates are used to toggle on and off Playbacks 1-10 then it is not necessary to change the 10Scene Wall Plates from their factory ID.

Setting the 10Scene Wall Plates ID requires the system to be in 'Set 10Scene Panel Zone ID’s' Mode. This is set from within the 10Scene Settings Window on the QuickQ consoles. Once this option has been enabled then each wall plate in the system will Flash all buttons together and then report its ID.

To change the 10Scene Wall Plate ID Press Keys 1, 6, 5, 10 together quickly, then enter the ID/Zone ID to be set on the 10Scene Wall Plate. The 10Scene Wall plate will then flash all LEDs and then show the new programmed ID.

Once all 10Scene Wall Plate ID’s have been set, toggle off 'Set 10Scene Panel Zone ID’s' from the QuickQ software.

If a 10Scene Wall plate has previously had an ID set, then it must first be reset in order to take a new ID. Place the system into 'Set 10Scene Panel Zone ID’s' Mode and then press keys 2, 7, 4, 9 together, following by 1, 6, 5, 10 together followed by the new ID to be set. The 10Scene Wall plate will then flash all LEDs and then show the new programmed ID.

Alternatively via the QuickQ software it is possible to reset all connected 10Scene Wall Plates to their factory ID’s by using the 'Reset all 10Scene Panels to Factory ID’s' button within the 10Scene Settings Window.
