MagicQ User Manual 302 Version 1.4.9.0
reduced view in MagicQ PC - you get a reduced panel with the playbacks and the head control buttons.
This enables you to play back shows or program looks without requiring a full screen.
If you have the capability to run multiple monitors (many lap-tops allow a separate monitor output as well
as the lap-top screen) then extend your desktop across multiple monitors with MagicQ PC on one and
WYSIWYG on the other.
39.6.4 Auto Patch
MagicQ supports the WYSIWYG Auto Patch protocol. Selecting Auto Patch on WYSIWYG transfers the
patch to MagicQ. To transfer a new show to MagicQ first erase the show in MagicQ and then select Auto
Patch, Send Patch in WYSIWYG.
MagicQ identifies the fixtures in WYSIWYG and maps the names to the MagicQ fixtures using a mapping
table. If MagicQ can not identify a fixture it will not be able to auto patch a fixture. The mapping table is
updated in each release to support new fixtures introduced by WYSIWYG. Not all the different fixture
modes are supported by both WYSIWYG and MagicQ.
From MagicQ software v1.4.0.0 the mapping is specified in each personality in the MagicQ Head Editor.
MagicQ software prior to v1.4.0.0 used a text file called headmapcapture.csv in the show/heads folder to
convert between the Capture personality and the MagicQ personality. It is possible to edit this file to add
additional heads.

The first field is the MagicQ personality name. The second field and third field are used for Capture. The
fourth field is the number of channels in the personality. The fifth field is the WYSIWYG name.
WYSIWYG uses a # separator to indicate different modes for heads.
39.6.5 Auto Focus
MagicQ supports the WYSIWYG Auto Focus protocol. If you turn Auto Focus on for the ChamSys port
in the Device Manager on WYSIWYG then changes made in WYSIWYG design mode will be relayed to
the programmer in the console.
