MagicQ User Manual 256 Version 1.4.9.0
28.2.1 Configuration
When consoles are set up for multi programming by setting Show data sync to Master Prog and Slave
Prog then selective channel control is automatically enabled.
Selective channel control can also be used without multi programming. This gives slave consoles access
to control part of a lighting rig (e.g. for a technician to test some lights) but does not give them the ability
to change any of the stored show data. To configure this mode, set Show data sync type on the master to
“Master Control” and on the slaves to “Slave Control.”
28.2.2 Selecting which console controls which channels
MagicQ enables several different ways of selecting which channels are controlled from which console on
the network – selected channels, active channels, groups of channels, universes and zones. MagicQ
defaults to the show master having control of all the channels.
Slaves request control of channels using the Setup, View DMX I/O, Multi Prog Select soft button.
The options allow control of a single head (One Head) all the way through the whole rig (All) by this
show slave.
None The show slave does not control any channels.
One Head Show slave controls the first selected head only. If Next Head is used to sub select
heads then the first sub selected head is controlled.
Selected Show slave controls the currently selected heads. When no heads are selected, none
are controlled.
Active Show slave controls all channels that are active in the programmer.
Last Active Show master and show slave both control channels – the last one to change a channel in
the programmer controls the channel.
Group Show slave controls the group that was selected when this option was chosen.
Zones Show slave controls selected zones (as set up in DMX I/O)
Universes Show slave controls selected universes
All Show slave controls all channels
