Vor Mobile 4+

We are excited to announce the release of Vor Mobile v1.7.0! This update represents a significant leap forward, introducing the first-ever native QLab integration to the market, connectivity with Absolute Motion Control devices, an update to the STS connection, and numerous bug fixes and quality of life enhancements.

The largest and most powerful new feature in v1.7.0 is the QLab integration. Getting started with QLab is quick and easy as all QLab devices are automatically detected on the network, and displayed in Preferences. This means there's no need to fumble with IP addresses, or ports. Using a passcode to keep your QLab session secure? That still works with Vor; just put the passcode in, and you're good to go.

Paired with the QLab Connection are four different widget types. The most powerful is the QLab Active Cues Widget, which will make QLab users feel right at home. The Active Cues Widget shows up to 10 active cues, including their play/pause status, cue iconography, and timing information. There are a number of configuration options, including the ability to only display top level cues, a progress bar, and play/pause state. Want to limit the number of active cues to 5 cues? That's possible with a customizable range of 1 to 10 cues. This is the most powerful addition to a QLab user's toolkit in a long time, allowing designers and technicians to cue their shows, and troubleshoot even quicker.

The next QLab widget is the QLab Playhead Widget, showing not only the current position of the QLab Playhead but also timing information, and the continue mode status. This widget displays what cue is currently selected by the playhead on a cuelist by cuelist basis, but also has a flag to show the previously selected cue providing even more context. As with many things in Vor, the style is customizable on a widget by widget basis and the QLab Playhead Widget is no exception.

Finally, the QLab Latest Widget allows you to get incredibly specific - dive down to a specific cue list, and cue type to see what was most recently triggered. Want to see the most recent MIDI cue, and adjust timing based on that? Want to see when the last MIDI message was sent to the lighting department, or to an external control interface? This widget allows for that, and pairs well with the QLab Latest Elapsed Widget, which follows the same logic and provides the same features as all the other Elapsed widgets.

Another added integration is with Absolute Motion Control's automation controller. This brings three new widgets, including the Absolute Motion Control Cue Widget, which displays cue numbers, labels, and playback states. This integration also brings to the table the powerful Absolute Motion Control IO Widget which displays the status of various devices including e-stops and safety mechanisms. This IO Widget is fully user configurable allowing Vor to meet the needs of productions all over the world.

Finally, there have been a number of quality of life improvements which are detailed in the full Vor Mobile v1.7.0 release notes.

We are continually striving to improve Vor Mobile, and this update is another testament to our goal of providing the industry with top levels tools in an accessible manner.
