Remote control of MagicQ
MagicQ supports the remote control of other MagicQ consoles and PC/Mac systems. Any MagicQ console or any MagicQ PC
system can be controlled from any other MagicQ console or MagicQ PC system on the network. This enables complete remote
management of any system from any other system. The remote system appears exactly as if it were running on the local system.
Remote Control must be enabled on the console that is to be controlled – by default it is disabled. It can be enabled in Setup,
View Settings, Multi Console settings, Enable Remote Control.
29.1
Remote mode (PC/Mac)
When you install MagicQ on PC or Mac there is a MagicQ Remote option under the ChamSys menu that enable MagicQ to run
in remote mode.
In remote mode MagicQ acts only as a remote control system; it does not transmit any network traffic (e.g. Art-Net, ACN,
Pathport etc. . . ) except for the control of the remote MagicQ system.
When you start up MagicQ in remote mode it will scan for MagicQ consoles on the network and give a list of the available
consoles to select from.
To stop remote control of a MagicQ console click on “Quit”. Select “yes” to quit from MagicQ or “no” to return to the list of
MagicQ consoles to control another console.
29.2
Remote control from MagicQ
The remote control function can be accessed from MagicQ in Setup, View System, View Monitors. To control another MagicQ
press the Remote Control soft button. MagicQ then presents a list of all the other MagicQ consoles / MagicQ PC systems it can
find on the network and you can choose which one you wish to control.
