4.5 Split Output Mode
The MagicHD output window can be separated from the application window, so that it can be positioned independently. This
means the menus are still accessible in the main window, even when the output window is on a projector or LED wall that might
be switched off or too low resolution to see the menus.
The main window shows status bar shows the network configuration, with DMX health on the right. A black heartbeat means
DMX data is being received. A green heartbeat means the values are changing. “No DMX” flashes when no data is being
received.
Split output mode is selected from the menu , and is on by default. This mode is not available in the combined version because
the MagicQ window is always available to control MagicHD.
