Using the Visualiser in MagicQ
Run the MagicQ software then go to the
Visualiser
menu in the menu bar and click on
Show Visualiser
. The window can be sized
and moved to the required position.
As the Visualiser is integrated with the MagicQ app it is not necessary to set up IP addresses or enable/configure universes.

Using MagicVis
MagicVis provides five views – Perspective, Top, Side, Front, and Free. The view can be changed either from the
View
menu
in the MagicVis window or in MagicQ in the
Patch
window, using Soft Button E. The Top, Side, Front and Free views are
orthographic projections. If the camera is moved while in an orthographic view then the view automatically becomes Free.
You can rotate the camera around by pointing the mouse at the visualiser window, clicking and holding then moving the mouse
around. Move the camera back and forth with the scroll wheel, or by pressing CTRL and right-clicking. Hold down SHIFT, click
and move the mouse to translate the camera and hold SHIFT and move the scroll wheel to zoom in and out.
The lighting level of the room can be changed by clicking on

Tip
The demo show files have visualiser rooms set up. The

file uses MagicVis extensively and includes MagicHD
integration. Use these to see examples of how to create your own MagicVis visualisations.
