MagicQ Software Change Log 118 / 121
76.4 Version V212
76.4.1 SnakeSys B4
Fixed issue when using Art-Net and ACN subnets 3-0 and above which would cause the DMX packet to be reduced to less than
the full 512 values. This potentially affects all versions V200 to V211 but was most noticeable in V210 and V211.
The above issue would also cause the DMX framing timings to be erroneously adjusted from the defaults when using Art-Net
and ACN start universe above universe 0-0 up to universe 2-15. The DMX output was within spec but could be slower than
expected. In Art-Net and ACN mode the subnet and universe selection were incorrectly being used to used to apply the timing
settings from the buffer mode (as per the rear panel legend).
Fixed break interrupt issue with DMX input which was introduced in V211.
Changed operation of DMX in LED to work like the other products.
76.5 Version V211
76.5.1 SnakeSys T2 Version 2
Added support for T2 Version 2 with DMX input option.
Added PCB version dependent menu items.
76.6 Version V210
76.6.1 SnakeSys R4
Increased timeout value for DMX input LED display.
Added optional software based break detect and also added DMX special mode to allow software based break detect:
R4 now has the ability to switch between hardware break detect or software break detect, so users who experience the CPLD.v1
break detect issue can still get the unit to receive DMX correctly: This is done by holding the DMX button on the front-panel
for 5 seconds until it starts flashing. Once the button is flashing pressing the NET1 button will toggle between both break detect
types:
NET1 Illuminated: Software break detect NET1 Off Hardware break detect
Pressing again the DMX button will exit back to standard front-panel operation, and the state will be saved.
76.6.2 All Products
Fixed a timing issue with DMX receive where the output packet update did not take place until the next packet’s break was
received. This could cause latency problems on systems with slow DMX refresh.
76.7 Version V209
76.7.1 All Products
Applied the Art-Net output hold fix to DMX to always hold the DMX output after valid Art-Net has been received and output as
DMX.
