Analog Way Alta/Midra

Use this plugin to connect to and control Analog Way Alta or Midra devices.

The plugin is compatible with Q-SYS Designer version 9.7 and above

NOTE:  See the Analog Way Alta 4K Presentation Switchers Page or the Analog Way Midra 4K Presentation Switchers Page on the Analog Way website for product information and documentation.

Prerequisites

Before you can configure the plugin, the Alta/Midra must be connected to a network and have a valid IP address in a subnet which the Q-SYS core can communicate with.

The IP address can be obtained or configured from the Alta/Midra device via the WebRCS interface.

It is recommended to configure a static IP address for the Alta/Midra, as DHCP addresses can change.
