MagicQ User Manual 289 / 355
42.5.7 Additional external screens (MultiWindows) on consoles
The MagicQ Pro 2010 and Pro 2014 support 2 external monitors directly from the rear panel.
It is possible to connect more monitors (up to a total of 4) using the MagicQ Multi Window application running on a PC. The
MagicQ MultiWindow application comes as part of the MagicQ PC installation. This can be used to display windows from
remote MagicQ systems. These additional monitors can be touch screens if the PC supports them.
In order to enable Multi Windows connection on the MagicQ set the "Multi Windows" option in the Setup Window, View Settings,
Network to “Remote MultiWindow”.
MagicQ MultiWindows itself has two modes of operation – automatic window sizing and user window sizing.
Automatic window sizing divides each of the selected screens into quarters just like the touch-screen on MagicQ. Windows can
be moved from the console to the PC using the EXT button (or SHIFT + SIZE). The SIZE button enables the window to be sized
on the PC just as it would on the console.
User sizing forces MultiWindows to ignore the size of the window on the console, and use a size specified by the user on the PC
by dragging the window to the required size.
In order to enable the Multi Windows application to connect to the MagicQ application, set the "Multi Windows" option in the
Setup window on the console to “Remote MultiWindow”.
42.6 Touch Screen Settings
On PC / Mac systems touch monitors are set up under the operating system not under MagicQ.
MagicQ consoles support many different touch protocols - however we are reliant on the drivers available in Linux, so not all
touch screens will be supported. We strongly recommend you check the protocol is supported and test a sample with a MagicQ
console before purchasing a touch screen. We can not guarantee that any touch screen will work with MagicQ - the list below is
for guidance only.
We generally recommend Protouch and ELO AccuTouch and ELO IntelliTouch touch screens. Note that ELO Acoustic Pulse
Recognition (APR) touch screens are NOT supported. Note that we currently do not support touch screens with multi touch
support on the MQ60 and MQ70 Compact consoles.
42.6.1 Serial protocols

• Ideal
