9.8 Using a mouse or track-ball to control pan and tilt
It is possible to use the mouse or trackball for pan/tilt control. Enable the “Enable Mouse to control pan/tilt” option in Setup
Window, View Settings.
Press the Right mouse button to enter pan/tilt mode. In this mode the mouse or trackball can be used to control pan and tilt of
any selected heads. Press again to return to normal mode.
Support for this function is only available on MagicQ consoles and on MagicQ PC/Mac when connected to a MagicQ PC Wing
or MagicQ MaxiWing. It is not available when connected to MagicQ MiniWing or MagicQ USB interface as these products do
not have X and Y encoders.
MagicQ consoles support mice and track balls.

Flip modifies the pan and tilt parameters of a moving head so that the beam is positioned in the same place but from the other
end of its movement ranges. Select the fixtures and then press the FLIP soft button in the Position Window.
Use the MIRROR soft button in the Position Window to only invert the Pan attribute and not the tilt attribute. On older software
versions press SHIFT + FLIP.
The MQ1000 includes a dedicated MIRROR button. On Compact consoles (MQ40, MQ60, MQ70) press ALT + FAN.
