29 Remote control of MagicQ consoles
MagicQ supports the remote control of other MagicQ consoles and PC systems. Any MagicQ console or
any MagicQ PC system can be controlled from any other MagicQ console or MagicQ PC system on the
network. This enables complete remote management of any system from any other system. The remote
system appears exactly as if it were running on the local system.
Remote Control must be enabled on the console that is to be controlled – by default it is disabled. It can
be enabled in Setup, View Settings, Multiple Console settings, Enable Remote Control.
29.1 Remote control from MagicQ PC
When you install MagicQ PC there is a Remote icon on the desktop and an application under the ChamSys
menu that enable MagicQ PC to run in remote mode.
In remote mode MagicQ acts only as a remote control system; it does not send transmit any ArtNet or any
other network traffic except for the control of the remote MagicQ system.
When you start up MagicQ in remote mode it will scan for MagicQ consoles on the network and give a list
of the available consoles to select from.
To stop remote control of a MagicQ console click on “Quit”. Select “yes” to quit from MagicQ or “no” to
return to the list of MagicQ consoles to control another console.
29.2 Remote control from a MagicQ console
The remote control function is accessed through the new View Remote option in the View System view of
the Setup Window. To control another MagicQ press the Remote Control soft button. MagicQ then
presents a list of all the other MagicQ consoles / MagicQ PC systems it can find on the network and you
can choose which one you wish to control.
You can tell which system you are controlling by looking at the system name in the Status Display (above
PB1 to PB5). When MagicQ is remote controlling another console it indicates “REM” at the start of this
status line.
