Select the type of media server and the version:

Set the number of layers you have patched – this is the number of media layers, and does not include master layers, soft edge or
camera layers.

Set the head number of the first media layer. This tells MagicQ which patched layer is the first media layer on the media server.
MagicQ expects layers to be sequential head numbers, e.g. set you head numbers for your layers to 1 to 8.

MagicHD

MagicHD is fully integrated with MagicQ. Set the Media Server type to MagicHD. Set the version number to 0.

If MagicHD is being run from within MagicQ then set the Media Server IP address to 0 - this will appear as "Local". MagicHD
will use the thumbnails for the media from the PC/Mac that it is running on.

If you wish to connect to a MagicHD system on another PC, Mac or a MagicHD Box then set the Media Server IP address to the
IP address of the external MagicHD system.
