QPIX updates its equipment and facilities as regularly as possible, and maintains a research approach to the rapidly changing technical environment within the screen industries.  QPIX then passes on this techical knowledge to its hirers.

The QPS equipment hire service supports over 250 new productions every year, including short dramas, feature dramas, documentaries, community videos, corporate videos, music video clips, television commercials, and pilots and episodes for television series and other programs.

QPIX is a non-profit, industry-building operation rather than a straight commercial business so all earnings in QPS go back into assisting early-career professionals break into the screen industry.
