Magic Sheets - Introduction (8.0)
Magic Sheets are user-created graphic displays that offer customizable interactive views for showing
data and programming. Magic Sheet objects can be set to show data, such as channels and palettes, or
can be representational graphics, such as scenic pieces, architecture or electrics. Magic Sheets replace
the Channel Layouts of previous software versions. Previously stored Channel Layouts will be
converted to Magic Sheets.
Magic Sheets are powerful for everyone in a lighting team
• A Lighting Designer may use them to lay out channel displays in a custom or specialized
way.
• An Assistant Lighting Designer may use them to track data, keep up with labels, and help the
Designer keep track of moves, marks, discrete timing, etc.
• A Programmer may use them to view and interact with certain portions of the rig, or to bring
forward tools to make programming quicker.
• An Electrician may use them for specialty views, rig-specific layouts, or data regarding the
health of fixtures.
• Non-Technical people can interact with Magic Sheets to accomplish tasks on the system
without any programming knowledge, such as architectural or entertainment installations.
• Other Production Team members may use Magic Sheets for indication of rig status that
pertains to their area of operation.
