The MagicQ lighting console is built around the large touch screen, which allows the operator to view

and modify show data quickly and efficiently. Directly around the touch screen are buttons and rotary

are four additional areas of controls:

Playback area – faders and buttons to control the playback of shows

Head control area – rotary encoders and buttons to control heads

Editor area – buttons to control editing show data

Window select area – buttons to control the windows displayed on the touch screen

4.1 Touch Screen

The touch screen is at the centre of the console. It is used to display information and for selecting options

for programming. The screen is divided into several sections:

· Soft buttons – buttons around the top and side. Function depends on the active window

· Windows section – large area in the centre for main control windows

· Status display – system information including current time and selected page

· Input display – keypad entry

· Playback display – information for each of the 10 main playbacks

4.1.1 Colouring

The buttons on the screen are coloured to indicate the state of the information they represent:

Grey Not programmed

Yellow Programmed (editable)

Orange Programmed (non editable)

Red Active

Light Blue Selected area

4.1.2 Soft Buttons

The soft buttons are arranged around the top and sides of the screen. The soft button displays its current

function – which is dependent on the active window. The button can be pressed either by pressing the

screen or by pressing the associated physical button adjacent to the screen.

The soft buttons on the top generally are used for menu options. View options are normally on the left

whilst more dangerous options such as record / remove are on the right.

The soft buttons on the sides are associated with the rotary encoders adjacent to them and are generally

used for options relevant to the current function of the rotary encoders. The screen shows a description

of the function of the encoder and below it a function for the button.
