MagicQ User Manual 70 Version 1.3.0.0
using the FLASH button. The manual section simply provides extra control features above those
available on each of the playbacks.
The GO and STOP buttons in the manual section have the same function as the GO and STOP buttons
on each playback. The FWD and BKWD buttons move through the Cue stack without fading. The
extra large GO button below the Manual Fader is designed for theatre style playback and has the same
function as the GO button on each playback.
The Manual Fader is unlike all the other faders in that it controls the progress of the current CUE rather
than the HTP level of the Cue Stack. This enables a Cue to be manually faded, the level of the Manual
Fader representing the % of the fade that is complete - from 0% to 100%.
The Manual Fader enables you to in a Cue Stack. To start a manual cross-fade, hold the SELECT
button for the playback and move the cross-fader. The display window will show "pickup" until the
cross-fader level matches the current position in the fade - it will then change to "manual". You can also
start a manual cross-fade on the currently selected playback by holding SHIFT and moving the cross-
fader.
As the fader reaches the limits the Cue Stack moves to the next Cue.
10.4.7 Manual Split Cross-fade
Two faders may be assigned as theatre style split cross-fade masters.
When enabled from the Setup Window, playbacks faders 9 and 10 become Xfade Masters for manual
Fade In and Fade Out. Pressing the Pause button on either playback 9 or 10 brings the current playback
under manual control.
The two faders can then be used to fade in each new Cue with separate control for fade in and fade out.
Pressing the Go button on either Playback 9 or 10 returns the current playback to normal Cue execution.
When enabled, playbacks faders 9 and 10 can not be used as normal playbacks.
10.4.8 Rate sub-master
It is possible in the Setup Window to set the function of manual cross-fade fader to be a rate sub-master
to control the execution rate of the current playback, or the exution rate of all playbacks. The rate is
shown in the bottom right of the status window from 0% to infinity. The fader should be set to 50% for
normal execution rate.
10.5 Playbacks Window
The Playbacks Window enables management of all 202 playbacks regardless of how many physical
wings are attached. This ensures that shows that will be run on consoles with wings can be
programmed on a PC with no wings. It also provides an ideal way of expanding your show control by
using virtual playbacks.
The Playbacks Window displays a button for each of the 202 playbacks - starting with the 10 main
playbacks and then with 8 wings each with 24 playbacks.
