The Quartz is equipped with 10 playback faders and 20 macro/executor buttons, allowing for efficient management of lighting cues and effects. The addition of three high-quality optical encoder wheels facilitates precise control over various parameters, enhancing the user experience and making it easier to create dynamic lighting designs. This console also supports an additional touchscreen, providing even more flexibility in controlling complex setups. With full compatibility for multi-user functionality, the Quartz is perfect for use as a backup or extra programming surface, significantly reducing programming time during live events.

One of the standout features of the Quartz is its capability for multi-band sound-to-light triggering, a functionality offered in Titan version 9. This allows the console to respond dynamically to audio inputs, synchronizing lighting effects with music or sound, thus enriching the overall production experience. Additionally, the Quartz supports an optional Mobile Fader Wing for those seeking to expand their control surface further.

Connectivity options are comprehensive and user-friendly. The console features 4 x Neutrik 5-pin XLR outputs that are optically isolated, ensuring clear and clean signal transmission. Networking is facilitated through a single 1Gb Ethercon port, while the unit provides two USB 3.0 ports - one mounted on the front for easy access and another on the rear for additional devices. For visual output, the Quartz supports an external display via DVI-D with a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. MIDI input is available through a 5-pin DIN connector, along with audio out options via a 3.5mm stereo jack and audio triggers using a 1/4-inch stereo jack, providing versatile integration capabilities with other equipment.

Powered by the Avolites Titan software platform, the Quartz supports up to 8,192 DMX channels per device and a total of 32,768 channels in a single system, accommodating an unlimited number of fixtures. The console includes a built-in 3D visualization capture engine, a keyframe effect engine for creating custom effects, and pixel mapping functionalities for animation-based control and video integration via the Synergy platform. The Quartz is also equipped with Titan Net support for multi-user operations, enabling various Titan consoles to work together for more efficient programming and control.

In terms of performance, the Quartz operates efficiently with a power consumption of only 80W and is designed to function within a voltage range of 110-240VAC at 50/60Hz. It can operate in a wide temperature range of 32°F to 104°F and withstand humidity levels of up to 95% relative non-condensing.
