MagicQ User Manual 42 Version 1.3.0.0
Change to the VIEW GROUPS view.
Press RECORD and then select the group you wish to record either by pressing the touch screen or by using
the cursor keys and then pressing ENTER.
6.9.2 Naming a Group
When recording a group, if you key in a name before pressing the touch screen (or pressing ENTER) then
the group will be named at the same time as it is recorded.
You can name a group at any time by keying in the name, pressing SET, and pressing the touch screen.
If you do not have a keyboard then press SET and select the group to name by pressing the touch screen (or
using cursor keys and ENTER). A keyboard window will be displayed for you to enter the name on screen.
6.10 Selecting Heads using the keypad
6.10.1 Selecting Heads in the Group Window
When the Group Window is the active window and the view is set to View Heads, heads can be selected
using the keypad. Head numbers are used to reference the required dimmers and heads.
If you intend to use this method then you should set up the head numbers when patching. It is easy to do; the
console can automatically renumber them, or they can be set to be the same as the DMX start address of the
dimmer / head. See the section on patching.
To select heads 1 to 4 key in
1 THRU 4 ENTER
To select heads 1 to 4 and heads 8 to 11 key in
1 THRU 4 + 8 THRU 11 ENTER
To select heads 1 through 12 but not head 7 key in
1 THRU 12 - 7 ENTER
Note that on MagicQ PC you can use > to indicate THRU.
6.10.2 Selecting Heads in other Windows
You can select heads in other windows than the group window using the keypad by:
Entering the head numbers followed by @@, for example:
1 THRU 12 @@
Entering them on the keypad followed by @ ENTER. - this is only supported if the Select heads on
intensity set" option is set. This method works by detecting @ in the keyboard input and instead of passing
the input to the active Window it attempts to parse the input as setting intensities for / selecting heads.
