20.5 MagicQ PC / Mac Restrictions
When MagicQ PC (Windows, Linux or Mac) is not connected to a MagicQ USB interface or MagicQ
USB Wing then a small number of remote and automation features are restricted and “Demo Mode” is shown
in the titlebar. This does not affect show programming or playback.
T he restricted features that are not supported without connection to MagicQ USB interface or MagicQ
Wing are:
• Execute Window full screen
• Scheduled Events
• Remote Control Protocol (serial, or network)
• Web Server editing (viewing is supported)
• Autostarting Playbacks
• Playback Synchronisation
• Multi Programming
• Triggering of playbacks using DMX input
• Mouse control of pan/tilt (only supported when connected to a MagicQ Wing with encoders)
• Iphone / Android Remote
• Audio control and playback synchronisation with Winamp
Note that the MagicDMX interface does not lift these restrictions, as this is a low cost interface intended for
learning how to program the system.
