MagicQ User Manual 64 Version 1.4.9.0
A single fader or multiple faders can be controlled using the top right rotary encoder in the Intensity Window.
The encoder controls the fader, which the cursor is over. Selecting a block of faders by pressing the cursor
keys whilst holding the SHIFT button down enables multiple faders to be selected.
6.3 Using the keypad
The level of dimmers and the intensity channel of heads can be set from the keypad. Head numbers are used to
reference the required dimmers and heads.
If you intend to use this method for setting intensities then you should set up the head numbers when patching.
It is easy to do - the console can automatically renumber them, or they can be set to be the same as the DMX
start address of the dimmer / head. See the section on
patching
.
Keypad setting of intensities is supported regardless of which Window is currently active.
To set heads 1 to 4 to 40% key in
1 THRU 4 @ 40
To set heads 1 to 4 and heads 8 to 11 to 100% key in
1 THRU 4 + 8 THRU 11 @ FULL
To set heads 1 through 12 but not head 7 to 10% more than their current value key in
1 THRU 12 - 7 @ +10
The console supports theatre style key entry – so you can set head 1 to 40% by typing
1 @ 4 ENTER
and you can set head 1 to 4% by typing
1 @ .4 ENTER or 1 @ 04
Note that if the "
Auto enter on keypad intensity set
" option is set, you do not need to press ENTER after you
have entered a 2 digit level. The console knows that you are setting an intensity due to the @ key. Valid levels
are 0% to 100%.
On MagicQ PC you can use > to indicate THRU and # to indicate FULL.
6.3.1 Setting fade times from the keypad
Fade times for intensity channels can be entered from the keypad. Ensure that “Auto Enter on Keypad
Intensity Set” is set to “No” for this to function correctly.
This can be done when setting levels, e.g. to set heads 1 to 4 at 80% with fade time of 5 seconds:
1>4@80/5
Or without changing the level
1>4@/5
To set a delay time and a fade time (e.g. delay 2 seconds, fade 5 seconds)
