MagicQ User Manual 167 Version 1.4.9.0
Selecting Activate Heads ensures that all the channels of a head are always present when recording a Cue.
Note that if you plan to over-ride attributes of head during playback then you are likely to require Activate
Chans – otherwise all attributes of the head will be over-riden.
MagicQ also supports “IPCB”, “IPC” and “Col”. These group similar parameters together, so for example
if you touch a colour attribute or the colour attributes are loaded into the programmer. “IPCB” means all
Intensity, Position, Colour and Beam attributes work in this way, whereas “IPC” only works on Intensity,
Position and Colour attributes , not Beam attributes.
19.7.2 Tracking
This setting turns
tracking
on and off. This affects new Cues that are recorded to Cue Stacks. It does not
modify Cues or Cue Stacks that have been previously recorded.
Users should be aware that playback of Cue Stacks also depends on the Track settings on each Cue in the
Cue Stack – there are the three options Track HTP, Track FX and Track LTP.
In software prior to v1.3.6.4 these options were named Zero old HTP, Zero old FX, Rel unused chans and
were the inverse of the above options.
For software versions prior to v1.3.4.6 , users who wish to use tracking should should turn off the Zero old
HTP and Zero old FX in all Cue Stack steps. The defaults for these options can be changed in the Cue
Stack, View Defaults window.
19.7.3 Unused Chans return to defaults
This setting determines what happens to LTP channels that are not controlled by any playbacks or the
programmer. When enabled, channels default to the Default values specified in the personality. When
disabled, channels hold their last value.
19.7.4 Programmer overrides HTP values
This setting determines whether the programmer overrides HTP values on playbacks. When set to Yes, any
HTP channels in the programmer are no longer affected by the levels of those channels on playbacks.
When set to No, the highest value of the channel from the Playbacks and the Programmer is output.
19.7.5 Programmer overrides FX
This setting determines whether the programmer overrides FX on active playbacks. When set to Yes, any
channels that have base levels in the programmer ignore FX for those channels from any active playbacks.
Cues are automatically recorded with the Cue Option, “Block FX” – this ensures that when the Cues are
played back other FX from other Playbacks are blocked.
When set to No, FX active on playbacks add to the base levels in the Programmer.
19.7.6 Highlight mode
This setting determines the
highlight mode. The options are "Normal”, “Advanced (highlights/lowlight)”,
“Advanced Highlight only” and “Advanced, no reset”.
