MagicQ User Manual 220 / 355
28.8.1 Selecting which console controls which channels
MagicQ enables several different ways of selecting which channels are controlled from which console on the network – selected
channels, active channels, groups of channels, universes and zones. MagicQ defaults to the show master having control of all the
channels.
Slaves request control of channels using the Setup, View DMX I/O, Multi Prog Select soft button.
None The Slave does not control any channels.
One Head The Slave controls the first selected head only. If Next
Head is used to sub select heads then the first sub selected
head is controlled.
Selected The Slave controls the currently selected heads. When no
heads are selected, none are controlled.
Active The Slave controls all channels that are active in the
programmer.
Last Active The Master and Slave both control channels – the last one
to change a channel in the programmer controls the
channel.
Group The Slave controls the group that was selected when this
option was chosen.
Zones The Slave controls selected zones (as set up in DMX I/O)
Universes The Slave controls selected universes
All The Slave controls all channels
When multiple slaves are in use then different slaves can control different channels on the lighting rig. If the same channel is
requested by multiple slaves then the latest selection will take precedence. The show slave shows the multiple control method in
the status bar – e.g. for selected heads it shows “CC-Sel”.
