MagicQ Software Change Log 71 / 121
44.1.2 Configuration Simplifications
The Network option MultiWindows is now no longer required and has been removed. MagicQ for Windows, Mac and Linux and
MagicQ Pro 2014, Pro 2010 and Compact consoles all have inbuilt multi windowing support. If you wish to use network based
multi windows on a separate PC together with a MagicQ then set Enable remote access = yes.
The Setup option Force Window On External Monitor is now fully supported on Windows, Linux, Mac and consoles with external
monitors. It forces a window onto the 2nd monitor. Previously it was only supported on older Pro consoles.
Wing configuration in Setup, View System Wings is now simplified by all wings defaulting to Playback/Extra Wing. This enables
plug’n’play with one or more Playback or Extra wings.
The Artistic License parallel port interface is no longer supported as modern PCs do not have parallel ports.
44.1.3 Other Changes
Icons are now always enabled - with options now being Small, Large and Large when no name. This last option enables mixing
of small and large icons dependent on whether a name is set for an item.
Icons can now be set directly in the Execute Window. For Cues and Cues Stacks the icons are propagated through to the Cues in
the Cue Store and the Cues Stacks in the Stack Store.
The support for a single external monitor interface on old Pro consoles using the network connected video card has now been
removed as the resolutions supported were not sufficient for modern monitors. Full external monitor support at resolutions up to
1920x1200 are available via upgrade to Pro 2014.
Audio and MIDI status are now shown in the status box on Compact series products.
Support for updating firmware on SnakeSys R8.
