MagicQ User Manual 23 Version 1.3.0.0
4.1.3 Windows section
The area in the centre of the screen is the windows section in which the various control windows are
displayed. There are two main types of windows – boxes style windows which have large boxes such as
the Group Window and spreadsheet style editing windows such as the Patch Window.
A window is displayed by pressing the appropriate window button. Multiple windows can be displayed
at one time by sizing the windows appropriately. In addition a complete configuration of windows –
i.e. a complete view can be selected using CTRL and the top soft buttons.
When a window button is pressed, that window becomes the active window. The active window is on
the top of the screen and is easily identified as the window with the highlighted title bar at the top. It is
also the window with the cursor in it.
An item in a window can be selected either
a) By pressing the touch screen over the appropriate part of the window
b) By moving the cursor to the appropriate position and pressing the ENTER button.
c) By moving the mouse to the position and pressing the left mouse button.
The cursor can be moved around the active window using the cursor keys in the Editor area of the
console or via the cursor keys on the keyboard. PG UP, PG DN, PG LEFT and PG RIGHT can be used
to scroll the window in the appropriate direction. HOME and END can be used to get to the start and
end of the window respectively.
4.1.4 Status Display
The Status Display shows the current date and time, the ADD / SWAP status of the console and other
relevant status information.
4.1.5 Input Display
The Input display shows the data that has been currently entered through the keypad and the keyboard.
A compact external keyboard is supplied with the MagicQ lighting console for setting names for data,
such as Cues and Cue Stacks. It is also possible to use an on-screen keyboard on the touch screen for
entering names.
The console supports standard keyboards, so users can utilise their favourite keyboard by plugging it
into the keyboard socket.
4.1.6 Playback Display
At the bottom of the screen is the playback display, which displays information relevant to each of the
playbacks including the name of the cue stack assigned to the playback and the current step.
Playbacks that are active are coloured red. The selected playback has the top line coloured blue.
