11 Outputs Windows
On MagicQ you can view the Outputs in many different ways. MagicQ supports up to 4 different Output
Windows. This allows four different output views to be viewed simultaneously.
Press the Out button to open the main Output Window. Press 2 and then Out to open the second Output
Window, 3 + Out for Output Window 3 and 4 + Out for Output Window 4. The 2
nd
Output Window – the
Output Info Window can also be opened by pressing CTRL + OUT.
In the Outputs Window, just as in the Programmer Window and Palette View Window there is auto
ordering of heads. MagicQ orders the heads according to the selection order. When no heads are selected
the order is the normal head order. Auto ordering can be turned off in the Setup Window under Windows,
“Auto Row ordering”.
The Outputs Window has many different views – press the soft buttons on the top left hand side to change
the views.
11.1 Heads View
The Heads View shows information for all of the heads patched in the show - press the VIEW HEADS
soft button. You can request only information for certain heads to be shown by using the PROG ONLY,
SEL ONLY and SEL PB soft buttons. These show respectively, heads that are active in the programmer,
selected heads, and heads in the current cue on the selected playback.
You can choose what information is shown for the heads using the VIEW VALS, VIEW RAW and VIEW
PLAYBACK and VIEW CUE IDS soft buttons. VIEW VALS shows the values including range and
palette names. VIEW RAW shows the numeric values. VIEW PLAYBACKS shows which Playback is
controlling the attribute and VIEW CUE IDS shows which Cue ID in a Playback is controlling the
attribute.
The following colours are used:
Red: Attributes that are in the Programmer
White: Attributes under control of a Playback.
Blue: Attributes controlled by the currently selected Playback
Grey: Attributes not under control of Playbacks or Programmer
11.2 Intensity View
The Intensity View shows just intensity information for the patched heads enabling a large number of
heads to be shown within the window. Press the VIEW CHANS and VIEW INT soft buttons. Intensity
level is shown as a percentage (%).
