MagicQ User Manual 92 Version 1.4.9.0
10 Programmer
The programmer is the function of the console where show data is configured for recording.
The
programmer takes priority over all playbacks, and channels. It can also be used during live running to override
the outputs – for example, for changing the colour or gobo of intelligent heads.
The console outputs any channels that are active in the programmer at highest priority – i.e. they over-ride all
other playbacks.
10.1 What is in the programmer?
The Prog Window enables you to determine exactly what is in the programmer and how it is configured. Press
PROG to open the window. The programmer stores three types of data
Channel Levels
Channel Times
Channel FX
In the Prog Window there are three views, corresponding to the three types of data – View Levels, View Times
and View FX. Use the three top left soft buttons to select the view.
In the Channel Times and Channel View windows you have a choice of a Simple View or an Advanced View.
The Simple View is sufficient for most programming – it enables modifications of fade times on a per attribute
type basis and modifications of each programmed FX. The Advanced View enables fade times and FX
parameters to be set up on a per channel basis.
In Levels View select Advanced View to view the raw values rather than the palette/range names.
The LED on the CLEAR button is illuminated when there is data in the programmer.
A second copy of the Programmer Window, the Programmer Info Window can be opened for displaying
on an external monitor. Press CTRL + Prog to open the Programmer Info Window.
10.2 Clearing the programmer
To clear the Programmer press CLEAR. All channels will be deactivated and all HTP channels will be set to
zero. It is possible to force all LTP channels to zero by using CTRL CLEAR.
