MagicQ User Manual 35 Version 1.3.0.0

A quick way of patching heads is to import the heads from a file. This enables the patch list to be

drawn up on a standard spread sheet or word processor. The console supports comma separated

variable files (.csv) which can be generated from most spread sheets and word processors.

The first row of the file indicates which columns are present in the file. The next rows of the file

contain the data for each head.

5.16 Exporting heads

The patched heads can be exported using the same file format as used for import. This file can then be

read by a standard spread sheet or word processor. Patch lists can then be printed.

5.17 VL5 type channels (split personalities)

The console supports heads such as the Vari-liteÒ VL5

where the head functionality is split between

different non-contiguous DMX addresses.

The personality for the main channels in the head includes the extra channels. The extra channels are

then patched separately and set to have their levels copied from the main channels.

For example for a VL5, patch the VL5 to the required DMX address for the main fixture. This will

include a dummy dimmer channel. Then patch a Dimmer Channel for the real dimmer and set the

Merge field to Copy and the From field to the channel number of the dummy dimmer channel.

You can set up multiple dimmer channels very quickly using the cursor keys to select multiple entries in

the Copy From column. Use / to specify an offset. For example to copy the dummy dimmer channel

from five VL5 heads at 1-1 (9 channels each) to dimmers at 2-1, use the cursors to select the five

dimmers in the Copy From column and enter 1-1/9.

5.18 Merging with DMX input

The console supports comprehensive merging of data from each of the six input and output universes.

Any output channel can be set to output data from any received input channel.

In addition channels can be configured so that they are passed through transparently unless the console

is controlling the channel from the programmer or a playback. This provides a powerful over-ride

mode.

To set a channel to output data received from another channel set the Merge field to Input and the From

field to the channel number you wish to get the data from.

You can easily set up a large number of channels by using SHIFT and the cursor keys to select multiple

channels.

You can also set up a channel so that it outputs data from an input channel except when that channel is

being controlled by a playback or the programmer. Set the Merge field to Over.
