An iris and a strobe function are also included under the Beam attributes.

17.8 Using the MagicQ Matrix Viewer

The MagicQ PC software package includes the MagicQ Matrix Viewer application, which makes pre-

programming of LED FX simple. It can also be used as a useful monitor in situations where the Matrix

display is remote from the MagicQ console. The MagicQ Matrix Viewer monitors Art-Net traffic on

the network from a MagicQ console or from a PC running MagicQ PC.

To use the MagicQ Matrix Viewer you should copy the show file with the grid that you are using into

the c:\Program Files\Chamsys Ltd\MagicQ PC\show folder. Then after starting the MagicQ Matrix

Viewer, select File, and select the show file. MagicQ Matrix Viewer reads the grid data from the show

file and sets up the Viewer to the same size as the grid.

The grid number and the IP address of the console / MagicQ PC that is controlling the matrix can be set

up in the options.

The MagicQ Matrix Viewer has an option to make the window always on top of other windows – useful

when using it on the same PC as MagicQ PC.

17.9 Programming LED using standard FX

To program LED fixtures using standard FX rather then the bitmap layers, just select the fixtures and

program them like moving lights.

Select the group of LED fixtures, e.g. "All Pixeline", set the master intensities using the encoders or by

pressing the DIM @ FULL soft button in the group window.

You can select standard in-built FX for LED fixtures in the Beam window.

To program colour chases across all patched RGB pixels select all the RGB heads and then in the

Colour Window select your base colour, e.g. Red at 128, Green at 128, Blue at 128. Then play back an

FX on the head such as rgb, cmy or pulse4steps. Speed and size are controlled as normal.

17.10 Making groups out of LED pixels

To get the best out of a large array of pixel heads it is best to make groups. Select all the RGB pixels

for a particular fixture and record it as a group. The order in which you select the heads determines the

order that FX are played back on them. You can reverse the selection of an entire group by pressing the

top right soft button.

If you have set up a Grid View then you can easily select the pixel heads from this View before

recording the group in the Group Window.

The Output window, Plan View includes a soft button “Auto Groups” for automatically generating

groups based on the grid design. This generates groups with heads ordered horizontally, vertically,

from the sides, from top and bottom, and from the centre.

To get a colour rainbow to roll seamlessly across a line of led battens you may need to reverse the

selection of the individual groups - it depends which way you numbered your LED fixtures.
