About

Q

Features
Read full description

Q-Man puts the TDC-100's cue register list on an iPhone or iPad. Connect over your local network through a serial-to-network bridge, download the register set, edit in and out points, clip names, gangs and speeds, then upload the result back to the device. Files are read and written in the same .td2 and .tds formats the desktop app uses, so captures move between machines unchanged. • Full 15-column register table on iPad, list and detail view on iPhone • Timecode keypad built for the job, not the system keyboard • Bulk edits — renumber, clear gangs, shift timecodes — with undo • Automatic bridge discovery, or enter the address yourself • Menu settings download and upload • Built-in demo data, so you can see the app without hardware attached • Diagnostics log and one-tap support bundle A licence is required to connect to a TDC-100. Opening files, editing and the demo work without one.

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Q at every 3 days against GateKey Resident's every 4 months. GateKey Resident's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
