containing 8 layers and several cues to demonstrate the software. arkaosdemo.shw is for use without
hardware accelerated graphics, and arkaosdemohw.shw is for use with hardware accelerated graphics.
26.9.2 Using MagicQ with Catalyst
MagicQ supports Catalyst V1 - V4, each version having a different head. The personality files can be
found under the high end folder. Patch the required number of heads for the layers, for example 6x cat4
heads if you are using Catalyst V4, 6 layers. Make sure the DMX addresses correspond to the DMX
addresses you have set up for the layers in Catalyst.
