MagicQ User Manual 208 Version 1.4.9.0
MagicQ includes support for personalities with multiple elements (e.g. RGB pixels), so that they can be
patched in one action rather than patching the individual elements separately. When these fixtures are
patched they continue to be controlled as separate heads with all the associated benefits. The personality
simple contains a count of the number of elements.
Personalities that consist of a single general element in addition to a repeated element are also supported.
In these cases two different personalities are required – one for the general element and one for the
repeated element. The personality for the general element is used for patching, and it references the
repeated element to enable it to be patched automatically. It is possible to set the Multiple Heads Type
field to sepecify whether the repeated elements are patched before or after the general element.
