Mix Station could be the solution… loading and testing today. Thanks for the suggestion!
Abelton Live 10 and the A&H DAW control using CC Translate was my first thought, but not quite the control that I need, and I’m not wanting to write a bunch of code for a panel 🙂
This is for TV. Control latency is not a big problem. If I run Mix Station on a computer connected locally to the Qu Pac, I can reach out via my VPN and drive it from any of my control rooms.

Interesting times… COVID-19 has gotten everyone used to delays as anchors working from home handoff questions and toss to other announcers & guests. I’m happy with just keeping lip sync close and having remote talent hear the questions! This has forced us to develop some pretty cool remote work flows. The way we do business has gone through a massive change. Much of our social-distancing and remote control will become a regular part of our business.

Thanks again!

Sorry, I should point out that each location is a different city and has a different transmission delay. For those not familiar with it, this means audio coming back can be a couple of seconds delayed. We take your mic out of the mix (the minus) and feed the rest of the mix in your ear, plus the director or producer. Different than mixing a ballgame or a band where you’re tweaking individual levels into headsets/monitors.

The actual broadcast mix is done in a different location. The Qu-Pac is in a downlink center, and we want to create the guest MXM’s at that location.
As for the actual MXM, it’s a pretty easy mix-minus. In the case of four paths (Host/Studio & 3 guests) A, B, C, D:
A gets B, C & D
B gets A, C & D
C gets A, B & D
D gets A, B & C

Hardwire to an iPad is the most likely solution, would really love it is there was a desktop version of Qu-Pad (or similar) should I need to reach it from a different control room (or different state).

Thanks for your thoughts- stay safe 🙂

Greetings… I know it’s been a while since this thread was active, but I find myself in the same situation with Qu Pac and Live 10. I need to drive the Qu Pac remotely. Due to security concerns, Qu Pad (or anything else via WiFi) is not an option. Any suggestions would be a great help!
Thanks in advance – bob
