MagicQ User Manual 130 Version 1.4.9.0
The Cue Stack can be configured in different ways to affect whether the Cue Stack resets to the first step
on release, whether it stays at the current step, or whether it moves on one step.
15.12 Playback mode
MagicQ PC supports a Playback Mode which enables MagicQ to be run in a pure “Playback” mode. This
mode is selected by clicking on the new Playback mode Icon on the desktop or in the Programs, ChamSys
MagicQ PC menu.
Playback mode is only supported when connected to a MagicQ Wing or MagicQ USB interface. The
MagicQ interface must be connected and powered on before MagicQ is started in Playback mode.
In Playback mode MagicQ it is not possible to record or make changes to the show data. MagicQ will not
save the show files / status files. Changes (e.g. change of chase speed) will be lost when the application is
stopped and restarted.
Playback Mode shows a much reduced set of buttons on the screen – only buttons required for show
playback are shown.
In Playback Mode only pages of playbacks that have been programmed are shown – pressing NEXT
PAGE will automatically change to the next programmed page and will cycle around all programmed
pages.
16 Cue Stack Settings
The Cue Stack Window has three Views – View Cue Stack, View Options and View Defaults.
The View Options view shows the settings for the Cue Stack on the current Playback. Changing these
settings immediately affects the currently selected Cue Stack.
The View Defaults view shows the settings thatwill be used when new Cues and Cue Stacks are recorded.
Changing the settings in View Defaults does not affect Cues and Cues Stacks that have already been
recoreded.
The View Defaults view contains two columns – one for single step Cue Stacks and one for multiple step
Cue Stacks. When the first Cue is first recorded on a Cue Stack the single step defaults are used. When a
second Cue is recorded on the Cue Stack the Cue Stack settings are modified to use the multiple step
defaults.

The activation threshold defaults to 0. It is a global setting which is set in Setup, View Settings,
Hardware.
