MagicQ User Manual 41 Version 1.4.9.0
To use multiple Playback Wings simply connect them and change the type to USB wing.
4.6 Connecting External Monitors
MagicQ has VGA connectors on the rear panel for connecting external monitors. These monitors can be
touch screen monitors.
4.6.1 Pro 2010 (ProX) Operating System
On MagicQ consoles running the Pro 2010 operating system there is support for 2 external monitors with
resolution up to 1440x900. These monitors can be touch screens. External monitors must be powered and
connected when the console powers up in order to be detected correctly.
Set the required resolution in the Resolution column and enable it.
When using USB touch screens, go to Setup, View System, View Status, Touchscreens to determine
which touch screen is Touch 1 and which is Touch 2.
4.6.2 Pro Operating System
On the Pro Operating System Monitor output 1 is a duplicate of the on board screen. This enables the
console to continue to be used should there be a problem with the on board screen. Monitor output 1
always duplicates the on-board screen.
Monitor output 2 can be used for showing extra windows. To enable windows to be moved onto Monitor
output 2, enable it in Setup, View System, View Monitors by setting the resolution on Monitor 2 to
1024x768 or 800x600.
Before turning on the 2
nd
monitor output, ensure that the monitor card upgrade has been carried out – this
requires the fitting of a monitor card inside the rear panel. Note that the presence of the 2
nd
VGA
connector does NOT indicate that that the monitor card has been fitted. It is recommended to turn off the
2
nd
monitor output when a monitor is not connected as this will improve performance slightly.
On Pro systems prior to v1.4.3.0 the 2
nd
monitor and serial touch are configured in Setup, View Settings,
Ports.
The 2
nd
monitor output can be a touch monitor. To connect a serial touch monitor, simply connect the
serial cable to the serial port on MagicQ. Then select the appropriate protocol in Setup, View Settings,
Ports, Serial remote protocol and set Serial touch monitor to Monitor 2.
MagicQ Pro series consoles running the Pro (non Pro 2010) operating system only support a limited
number of USB touch screens. We recommend using a serial touch screen or upgrading to Pro 2010
operating system.
