Outputs Windows
On MagicQ you can view the Outputs in many different ways. MagicQ supports up to 4 different Output Windows. This allows
four different output views to be viewed simultaneously.
Press the Out button to open the main Output Window. Press 2 and then Out to open the second Output Window, 3 + Out for
Output Window 3 and 4 + Out for Output Window 4. The 2
nd Output Window – the Output Info Window can also be opened by
pressing CTRL + OUT.
In the Outputs Window, just as in the Programmer Window and Palette View Window there is auto ordering of heads. MagicQ
orders the heads according to the selection order. When no heads are selected the order is the normal head order. Auto ordering
can be turned off in the Setup Window under Windows, “Auto Row ordering”.
The Outputs Window has many different views – press the soft buttons on the top left hand side to change the views.
13.1 Heads View
The Heads View shows information for all of the heads patched in the show - press the VIEW HEADS soft button. You can
request only information for certain heads to be shown by using the PROG ONLY, SEL ONLY and SEL PB soft buttons. These
show respectively, heads that are active in the programmer, selected heads, and heads in the current cue on the selected playback.
You can choose what information is shown for the heads using the VIEW VALS, VIEW RAW and VIEW PLAYBACK and
VIEW CUE IDS soft buttons. VIEW VALS shows the values including range and palette names. VIEW RAW shows the
numeric values. VIEW PLAYBACKS shows which Playback is controlling the attribute and VIEW CUE IDS shows which Cue
ID in a Playback is controlling the attribute.
The following colours are used:
Red: Attributes that are in the Programmer
White: Attributes under control of a Playback.
Blue: Attributes controlled by the currently selected Playback
Grey: Attributes not under control of Playbacks or Programmer
