Evertz QMC Master Control Software BETA
Advanced binary protocol for Evertz QMC / QMC-2 Master Control switchers.
Handlers run inside Fantago — the file is a plugin, not a standalone program. Start with the free 60-day trial.
How to connect Evertz QMC Master Control to Fantago
- Open the Fantago Dashboard and click Add Device.
- Pick the Evertz QMC Master Control handler from the device type list (internal id
evertz_qmc). - Enter the IP address of your Evertz QMC Master Control, then set protocol TCP and port
4000. - Save and connect. Fantago starts polling the device and publishes its feedback variables, ready to use in panels, sequences and logic flows.
- Drag the actions below onto a panel button, a Stream Deck key, a schedule or a logic flow node.

Command Integration Guide
This guide explains how to send specific commands to the Evertz QMC Master Control handler.
Generic Command Format (Binary RCP-T37):
The handler uses a custom binary protocol (RCP-T37). Direct ASCII commands are not applicable.
To send commands via generic HTTP GET or TCP/UDP listeners, you need to provide the raw hexadecimal representation of the full RCP-T37 packet. This is complex and usually requires a dedicated tool or specific buffer construction.
For example, a "CUT" command would be represented by a buffer like 0284010103010203F4 (hexadecimal).
It is recommended to use the actions provided in the Fantago UI to trigger these commands, as they handle the complex binary encoding automatically.
Integration Examples (assuming device name "EVERTZ_QMC"):
Via HTTP GET:
Not directly applicable for arbitrary commands due to binary nature. Use Fantago UI actions.
Via TCP/UDP Listener:
EVERTZ_QMC:0284010103010203F4 (Example for a "CUT" command - this requires exact byte representation)
Note: The string provided to Fantago must be the hexadecimal representation of the raw binary command.
Evertz QMC Master Control control — frequently asked questions
Does Fantago support Evertz QMC Master Control?
Yes. Fantago includes a ready-made Evertz QMC Master Control handler (version 1.0.0) that talks to the device over TCP, default port 4000. It is bundled with every licence and with the 60-day free trial — there is no per-device fee.
What protocol does the Evertz QMC Master Control handler use?
TCP, default port 4000. Fantago connects straight to the device over your production network, so no gateway, middleware or vendor software is needed in between.
Can I control Evertz QMC Master Control from a Stream Deck?
Yes. Every Evertz QMC Master Control action can be mapped to an Elgato Stream Deck key, to a button on a custom Fantago touch panel, to a timed schedule, or to a logic flow triggered by another device — including devices from a different manufacturer.
Can I modify the Evertz QMC Master Control handler?
Yes. The handler is a plain JavaScript file (evertz_qmc.js) that you can download from this page, edit and drop back into Fantago. You can also write your own handler from scratch — see the Developer Guide.
Control Evertz QMC Master Control from a single interface
Fantago drives Evertz QMC Master Control alongside 50+ other broadcast, lighting, audio and smart home devices — from custom touch panels, an Elgato Stream Deck, a schedule or a logic flow. One-time licence, no subscription, runs offline.
