39.3 Enabling Universes for the Visualiser
Now you need to configure the outputs. Go to the Setup, View DMX I/O window. You will see a list of
the 18 universes and their current configuration.
If you wish to use ArtNet protocol to communicate with the Visualiser then set the required universes to
ArtNet and enable them. The Visualiser field should be set to “None”.
If you are using a Visualiser specific protocol then move to the Visualiser row and select the Visualiser
Type – e.g. WYSIWYG. There is no need to change the Status column to enabled as the Visualiser data
feed will be automatically enabled.
If you are using the Visualiser on the same PC as MagicQ then set the Visualiser Type to (same PC) –
otherwise, set it to (remote). When connecting to WYSIWYG using a MagicQ console, always use
WYSIWYG (remote).
39.4 Capture
MagicQ supports connections to Capture visualiser (www.capturesweden.com). When you are using
MagicQ PC with Capture, we suggest that you run them on separate PCs linked via Ethernet for the best
results. MagicQ PC and Capture can be run on the same PC but best results will be achieved with a big
screen resolution, or multiple monitors.
Capture includes a demo show called “Awards.cpf” consisting of an award ceremony band set-up with
various truss structures and different heads and par cans. MagicQ includes a demo show called
“capture.shw” to control this set-up. You can also use a standalone Capture executable file which can be
downloaded from our website www.chamsys.co.uk. This allows the Capture show to run on a PC free of
charge, and without Capture installed.
There are two protocols for communication between MagicQ and Capture – ArtNet and CITP. ArtNet is a
standard protocol used to carry DMX over Ethernet and enables control of the lighting.
CITP is an open protocol specific to Capture which enables both control of lighting and the transfer of the
show patch between MagicQ and Capture. ChamSys provides executable files for both protocols.
