MagicQ User Manual 296 / 355
Thatre Patch supports patching multiple multiple DMX addresses to one head when using Theatre Patch syntax. For example to
patch Head no 10 at DMX addresses 1, 2 and 3 enter
10 @ 1 + 2 + 3
As with the Patch, View DMX there is a maximum of 6 DMX addresses per Head.
In Theatre Patch it is possible to repatch dimmer channels. If the head is already unpatched then just enter the new address – e.g.
to repatch head number 20 to DMX channel 25.
20 @ 25
It is possible to repatch to multiple DMX addreses – e.g. to repatch head number 20 to DMX channel 25 and 26.
20 @ 25 + 26
If the head number is already patched then MagicQ will request confirmation whether to Repatch the exiting Head with the
specified Head No or to patch another Head with the same number.
42.9.7 Encoder Mode
By default MagicQ sets the encoder wheels according to the currently active Window – so for example when you change to
Colour Window, the encoder wheels control colour and when you change to Group, the encoder wheels control Group settings.
When encoder mode is set to Maintain Pos, Col, Beam, the Position, Colour and Beam buttons will act like “Hard Buttons” – so
that the encoders will be maintained on Position, Colour or Beam even when the Group or Output Windows are opened. At any
time the encoders can be forced to their default settings for the Window by using SHIFT and the Window button – e.g. SHIFT +
GROUP.
In addition the “Intensity” attribute will also appear on Encoder F in the Pos window if that encoder is not already used for
position attributes.
When encoder mode is set to Intensity on X, then when setting an intensity level from the keypad, MagicQ will open the Intensity
Window and the X encoder will control intensity.
When encoder mode is set to “Pos, Col, Beam, Int X” then MagicQ performs both the above options.
42.9.8 Swap pan and tilt encoders
This setting swaps over the pan and tilt encoders. By default the left encoder is pan and the right encoder is tilt.
42.9.9 Swap Encoder direction
The following options are supported:
• Normal
• Swap all encoders
• Swap both pan and tilt encoders
• Swap pan encoder only
42.9.10 Swap Palette and Cursor Page Buttons
Enables the Cursor Page buttons (Page Left, Home, Page Up, Page Right, End, Page Down) to be used as Palette buttons (Group,
Int, Fx, Pos, Col, Beam). This makes it easier to select Palettes using the keypad.
When this mode is enabled the Palette Buttons become the Cursor Page buttons.
It is strongly recommended that you do not change the physical key caps of these buttons since this may cause irreparable damage
to the front panel board.
