MagicHD User Manual 9 / 58
Both machines are on the 10.x.x.x subnet so they should be able to see each other.
To test this, ping MagicHD from MagicQ and vice versa:
• In MagicQ, type “. . . ” followed by the IP address of the MagicHD PC. The result is displayed in the input window.
• On the MagicHD PC, open a DOS box, terminal or equivalent and type “ping” followed by the IP address of the console.
If you have multiple network adapters, make sure you are looking at the settings for the right one. You can find out which address
MagicHD is using by selecting Settings or About from
the application menu .
Once the networks settings are correct, MagicQ must be configured to talk to MagicHD . The Con State entry should show
“Connected”.
3.5 Keystone
If you can’t see your media, and get a collection of letters on the screen like this
your keystone parameters are causing one corner of the media to be folded over. The letters correspond to the 8 encoders that
control the position of the 4 corners. The side(s) of the media rectangle are shown in green where they are OK, and red where
they are invalid. In this example the corner (A,B) has moved inside the line from (C,D) to (E,F). As you change the encoders you
should see the corner points move. As soon as the keystone area is valid the media will appear again.
Tip
• A quick way out is to LOCATE the output layer. This sets all parameters back to default.
• If the problem persists check that you are using the latest head file for the MagicHD output layer. The personality changed in
version 1.6.1.6 .
3.6 No Text
If you have recently added a text file you need to re-index the media before MagicHD will display the file.
The display of different fonts depends on the underlying operating system. If a particular font is not installed, or can’t be
displayed at large point sizes, the text might vanish. To overcome this select a different font. Font 0 should always display.
