MagicQ User Manual 164 Version 1.4.9.0
Set the required resolution in the Resolution column and enable it.
When using USB touch screens, go to Setup, View System, View Status, Touchscreens to determine
which touch screen is Touch 1 and which is Touch 2.
Monitor 3 and Monitor 4 are not used.
19.5.2 Pro (non Pro 2010) Operating System
On the Pro Operating System Monitor output 1 is a duplicate of the on board screen. This enables the
console to continue to be used should there be a problem with the on board screen. Monitor output 1
always duplicates the on-board screen.
Monitor output 2 can be used for showing extra windows. To enable windows to be moved onto Monitor
output 2, enable it in Setup, View System, View Monitors by setting the resolution on Monitor 2 to
1024x768 or 800x600.
Before turning on the 2
nd
monitor output, ensure that the monitor card upgrade has been carried out – this
requires the fitting of a monitor card inside the rear panel. Note that the presence of the 2
nd
VGA
connector does NOT indicate that that the monitor card has been fitted. It is recommended to turn off the
2
nd
monitor output when a monitor is not connected as this will improve performance slightly.
Monitor 3 and Monitor 4 are not used.
19.5.3 Monitor settings on MagicQ PC
When using multiple monitors on a PC first enable the monitors in Windows by putting the Windows
desktop onto all the monitors. Then start MagicQ PC and in Setup, View System, View Monitors press
the RELOAD MULTIW soft button. MagicQ should detect all the monitors attached up to a total of 4.
In Setup, View Settings, Network set MultiWindows to MultiWindows (same PC).
On PC systems touch monitors are set up under Windows not under MagicQ.
