MagicQ Software Change Log 55 / 121
Chapter 32
Version 1.6.0.9
32.1 New Functions
32.1.1 MagicHD
MagicHD - stand alone version for Windows with full 8 layers HD media playback capability is now included in the MagicQ for
Windows installer.
MagicHD stand alone is fully unlocked when connected to a MagicQ console or MagicQ Wing system with encoder wheels.
When no MagicQ console or Wing system is detected on the network it supports only 1 layer.
MQ60 and MQ70 expanded number of universes
The MQ60 and MQ70 can now be used as "wing" systems for a PC or Mac running MagicQ software with up to 64 universes.
This enables large shows to be controlled with just a MQ60/70 and a laptop.
When the PC or Mac detects the MQ60/70 on the network it unlocks the remote control support on the PC or Mac allowing the
MQ60/70 to be used to remote control MagicQ running on the PC or Mac.
If required the DMX output ports on the MQ60/70 can be used to output network universes from the PC / Mac. Before entering
remote control mode on the MQ60/70 configure Universes 1 to 4 to input ArtNet/ACN/Pathport universes and set their Test Mode
to "Input". This will loop the network universes received from the Mac/PC out of the direct ports on the MQ60/70.
32.1.2 Audio Support
MagicQ for Windows, Mac and Linux now supports audio input via the PC/Mac sound card. In Setup, View Settings, Ports set
Audio Input to PC/Mac sound card. Audio support is enabled when the PC/Mac is connected to a MagicQ Wing or Interface (not
MagicDMX).
32.1.3 Colour Window
Support for selection of colour mix mode in the Colour Widow to enable using the encoders to operate in CMY, RGB and HSI
modes. Colour chosen is also now shown on the CMY encoders.
32.2 Bug Fixes
Fix for 2nd monitor output on a Pro 2014 console - this was broken in recent releases.
Fix for multicast / ChamNet on MQ60 and MQ70. Previously ChamNet devices might not be detected and multicast packets
would not be correctly forwarded through the network switch on the MQ60/70. Also ACN streaming DMX might not work
correctly. #0006014
