MagicQ User Manual 161 Version 1.4.9.0
19.3.14 Copying Output Universes
MagicQ supports copying of entire universes to multiple outputs – this may be useful where you wish to
duplicate an output universe onto different outputs of an Art-Net box, or you want to set MagicQ wing
outputs to be the same as Ethernet outputs. Select the universe you wish to copy in the Copy field of the
Setup Window, DMX I/O View.
Select the Universe to copy – e.g. Uni 1 for the first Universe. You can enter the universe number. Enter 0 to
turn off copying.
