MagicQ User Manual 249 Version 1.4.9.0
Since both options use the programmer, it is recommended that the programmer is kept clear on the
standby console.
27.4.4 Swapping control between multiple consoles
In Equal Mode, a console that is set to “Hot take-over” can be forced to control all universes using the
“TAKE CONTROL” soft button. This will force an immediate change of control from one console to the
other.
Similarly, control can be given to another console using the “RELEASE CONTROL” soft button. This
will force the other console to take control, and depending on the hot take-over options will enable a
controlled fade to the new console outputs.
Note that the “TAKE CONTROL” and “RELEASE CONTROL” are only active when one or more
universes are set to “Hot take-over”.
When universes on MagicQ consoles are set to hot-takeover then the current Master / Slave status is
shown in the Status Display underneath the date and time.
Note that a MagicQ console is considered a Master if any of the universes that are configured as a hot
takeover universe are currently enabled and hence outputting to the network. A MagicQ console is
considered a Slave if all universes that are configured as hot takeover universes are currently disabled –
the console is not outputting to the network on these universes.
