MagicQ User Manual 151 Version 1.4.9.0
18.8 Saving and Loading Settings
You can save your favourite show settings to a file. Settings include the options from the Setup Window,
the defaults from the Cue Stack Window and the Views that you have set up.
Once you have become familiar with the console, it is a good idea to save your preferred settings to a file
so that then when you start a new show you can load your settings in.
18.9 File Manager
You can organise you show files using the File Manager in the Setup Window. File Manager supports
renaming, moving, copying and deleting of files.
All show files are located in the show directory. The show directory has sub directories for fx, heads and
icons.
File manager can operate on both the internal hard disk and external USB memory sticks. To copy a file
to the USB stick:
Select HARD DRIVE soft button.
Press COPY and then select the file you wish to copy.
Select USB DRIVE soft button
Select the “.” entry.
Moving is done in a similar way using the MOVE action button. Renaming and deleting use the NAME
and REMOVE action buttons respectively.
It is also possible to load shows, settings, icons and new software by clicking on items in the File Manager
window.
18.10 Transferring files over Ethernet
The console supports remote file system access over Ethernet. Files can be accessed whilst the console is
running and outputting Art-Net thus allowing, for instance, users to set up automatic show back-ups to an
external server.
Connect the console to the host system – typically a PC – either using a direct Ethernet crossover cable or
via Ethernet hubs.
Configure the IP addresses of the host system and the console so that they are on the same sub-net. For
instance if the console is set to IP address 2.9.200.5, subnet mask 255.0.0.0 then set the host system to IP
address 2.9.200.6 subnet mask 255.0.0.0.
Connect to the file system. Under Windows this can be achieved by selecting Network Neighbourhood in
Windows Explorer. The console should appear as a computer – if this does not happen immediately then
you may need to wait a few minutes for Windows to catch up. You can force Windows to find the console
by using Search and searching for a computer – enter the IP address of the console.
