MagicQ User Manual 16 Version 1.3.0.0

3 Quick Start

This section is designed to enable users who are new to the MagicQ to quickly program and run a show.

3.1 Starting up the console

After powering up you are presented with the introductory Help Window. Close the Help Window by

pressing the CLOSE button. You can revert to the Help Window by pressing the HELP button at any time.

Note that as the console utilises a hard disk system it is necessary to shut the console down before removing

power to it. To shut the console down, press the SETUP button and then the QUIT soft button. When asked

for confirmation, press the YES button. The console powers itself off when it has completed its shut down.

Removing power to the console when it is running may cause problems with the file system. Normally this

will only result in a subsequent slow start-up whilst the system repairs the disk – however in certain

circumstances the file system may become corrupted.

3.2 Erasing existing programming

Before programming a new show it is best to erase any existing programming from memory. Open the

Setup Window by pressing the SETUP button.

Press the ERASE SHOW soft button. When asked for confirmation, select YES. You will then be asked for

which initial mode you want the console to be set up for, Normal, Theatre Non Track or Theatre Tracking.

If in doubt, select Normal.

Once the programming has been erased then the Input Window will indicate “Programming erased”.

3.3 Enabling console output

In order to output Ethernet or DMX512 data the universes must first be enabled. Open the Setup Window

and select the DMX I/O view. The console supports up to 12 universes - you should configure the required

output type for each universe and enable the universe by moving the cursor to the appropriate field and

pressing ENTER.

3.4 Patching Heads

Open the Patch Window by pressing the PATCH button. The Patch Window has two possible views, VIEW

HEADS and VIEW CHANS. Patching can be carried out in either view - in this section we describe

patching in VIEW HEADS.

Choose the head you wish to patch by pressing the CHOOSE HEAD soft button. The Window will change

to give you a list of heads. Select a head by pressing the touch screen. Alternatively scroll around the

Window using the cursor keys, and press ENTER when the cursor is over the correct head.

Once you have chosen a head you will be returned to the Patch Window. Press the PATCH IT soft button to

patch the head. You will be prompted for an address where you wish to patch the head. Press ENTER to

patch to the next free address.
