MagicQ User Manual 104 Version 1.4.9.0
Now press View Colours to view the outputs of your rig. When a head has a level greater than 0% the box
starts to get filled until at 100% it is completely filled. The colour of the lamp is also indicated.
11.5.2 Selection of heads in Outputs Plan View
Heads can be selected from the plan view and then their parameters changed by pressing and holding the
Group, Position, Colour or Beam buttons. When the programmer setting “Highlight defaults beam and
colour” is enabled, any heads selected will have their dimmer set to 100% in open white.
When the Outputs Plan view is used as a stage plan it is possible to select multiple heads in a row or
column by clicking on blank spaces in the grid.
Clicking on a blank space at the top edge of the grid will select/deselect heads in the whole column
depending on the current selection state of the heads.
Clicking on a blank space on the left edge of the grid will select/deselect heads in the whole row
depending on the current selection state of the heads.
Clicking on a blank space at the bottom edge of the grid will select the whole column regardless of the
current state of selection of the heads.
Clicking on a blank space at the right edge of the grid will deselect the whole row regardless of the current
state of selection of the heads.
Clicking within the grid on a blank space that is adjacent to a head will have the same effect as above –
but only for all the heads directly adjacent to each other. As it is possible that the blank space that is
clicked on may have more than one adjacent head, the priority is left, top, right, bottom.
For other plans where head numbers are packed into the grid with no blank spaces – e.g. LED arrays, it is
still possible to use this method but the grid must have blank spaces around the edges of the grid.
