Welcome to the Venera Technologies Documentation Center.

 

This page is designed to help new users quickly find the resources they need to begin using Venera applications. From here, you can access quick start guides, product documentation, common setup topics, knowledge base resources, and support information.

 

QCentral as the Application Portal

 

QCentral acts as the central portal for accessing and managing Venera applications. Instead of opening each product separately, users can sign in through QCentral and access the applications available to their organization from one connected environment.

 

Through QCentral, users can access products such as Quasar, Pulsar, and CapMate, depending on their assigned permissions. For QC review workflows, QCtudio serves as the viewer application for reviewing results generated by Quasar and Pulsar. QCentral also helps administrators manage users, roles, application access, configuration, analytics, and cross-application workflows.

 

This makes QCentral the starting point for all Venera workflows. A user may begin in QCentral, launch Quasar or Pulsar to submit and monitor QC jobs, open results in QCtudio for review and collaboration, or access CapMate for caption and subtitle QC workflows.
