Channels

Unlike Strand consoles MagicQ does not distinguish between intensity channels and attribute channels. MagicQ

consoles support 9160 channels of any type – e.g. you could patch 9160 dimmers, or you could patch 9160 channels of

moving lights, or any combination.

Moving lights are patched as one entity – it is not necessary to patch intensity and attributes separately. On MagicQ

we refer to all fixtures as “heads” regardless of the number of attributes – so “generic dimmer” is a head with 1

channel, “Martin Mac500 mode 2” is a head with 14 channels. A “generic dimmer” has only 1 attribute, “Intensity”

whereas a “Martin Mac500 mode 2” has multiple attributes including Intensity, Pan, Tilt, Colour 1, Colour 2, Gobo1,

Gobo2 etc…

Control of channels

At any time, channels can be controlled by one of three entities

Presets

These are stand alone virtual faders which can be set at any time. Channels set in this way are not used in

programming. Preset channels are accessed through the View Preset soft button in the Intensity Window.

Programmer

Channels that are in the programmer over-ride any values for these channels that may be present from Playbacks

(Subs). Channels in the programmer get recorded into new Cues and Palettes. Channels are set in the programmer

using the keypad or from the Intensity, Group, Beam, Colour or Position windows.

Playbacks

Channels that are present on an active playback (Sub). Channels are normally first set in the Programmer, before they

are recorded into a Cue on a Playback. It is also possible to record a channel directly to a Cue on a Playback without

using the programmer.
