MagicQ User Manual 32 Version 1.3.0.0

Head numbers are used in various displays to indicate which heads are being operated on. Head numbers

can also be used for selecting heads and setting intensities directly from the keypad.

By default the console numbers in the order that they are patched starting from 1.

If you expect to be selecting heads using the keypad then we recommend you use unique head numbers for

each head. The console will use unique numbers by default. You can modify head numbers manually so

that they are more meaningful to your rig. Alternatively you can use one of the in-built renumber

algorithms.

Pressing RENUM HEAD NOS and selecting BEST FIT causes the console to use an intelligent algorithm to

allocate heads starting with numbers that you can easily recall. For example, if you patch 4 MAC500s and 4

HPEs then when you renumber using BEST FIT it will number the MAC500s from 1 to 4 and the HPEs

from 11 to 14.

If you would rather work with DMX channel numbers, then press the RENUM HEAD NOS soft button and

select BY DMX. This will configure the head number for all patched heads to be the DMX channel address

of the head. You can then select heads and set intensities using the DMX channel numbers.

Selecting HEADS (ALL START 1) sets the head numbers so that for each head the numbers start from 1 -

this is the default option. Selecting BY NAME sets the head numbers so that they use head name, gel and

type to order the heads.

5.6 Gel name and number

For dimmers you may wish to configure the gel name or number. This makes programming easier –

enabling the console to auto program cues for you.

The gel field uses gel numbers. For Lee colours enter the gel number directly (e.g. 181 for Lee 181). For

Rosco colours enter the gel number preceded by dot (e.g. .14 for Rosco 14). For no colour enter 0. If you

would prefer to use colour names rather than gel numbers then simply enter the colour name. The console

knows about most standard colours.

5.7 Generating auto groups

The console automatically generates groups for each of the different heads patched onto the console –

e.g. “All Dimmers”, “All Mac500”.

The console is also capable of generating groups based on gel colours and head names. Press the

AUTO GROUPS soft button in the VIEW HEADS view of the Patch Window and then select Dimmers

and/or Heads.

When Dimmers are selected the console will examine all dimmers patched and generate a group for

each different gel colour and a group for each different head name.

When Heads is selected the console will generate a group for each different head type that has heads

with a distinct head name. Thus if you have named some of your Mac500s “front” and some of them

“back” it will generate a “Mac500 front” group and a “Mac500 back” group.
