Select heads on keypad intensity set
This setting determines whether the current head selection is modified when you set intensities using the keypad. When set
to "No" the intensities are set without modifying the head selection. When set "yes" the intensities are set and then the head
selection is modified, for example:
1 THRU 4 @ 50 ENTER
sets heads 1 to 4 at 50% intensity and selects heads 1 to 4.
+5 @ FULL
sets head 5 to 100% intensity and adds head 5 to the current selection
41.9.3
Select Heads and Palettes from keypad
This setting was renamed from “Select Heads in Col, Beam, Pos”
This setting enables you to select Heads and Palettes from the keypad and various other advanced keypad functions. Select heads
by typing the head selection and then pressing the appropriate Colour, Beam or Position Window button.
1 THRU 4 COL
selects heads 1 through 4 and opens the Colour Window.
1 THRU 4 COL 5
selects heads 1 through 4 and selects Colour Palette 5.
It also enables selecting on Color, Beam and Position palettes direct from the keypad.
41.9.4
Select heads on include
This setting determines whether when you include Cues and Palette entries into the programmer the console automatically selects
the heads.
If set to Yes, the console selects all heads that have levels in the Cue or Palette entry.
41.9.5
Keypad always selects heads
When this setting is set to Yes, entering head numbers on the keypad followed by the ENTER key always selects the heads. When
set to Yes, some of the advanced features of MagicQ are not available directly from the keypad. When editing numeric fields in
the spreadsheet style windows in this mode, the operator must use the SET button rather than editing the field directly.
This setting has a “Strict” option. In this mode it is not possible to toggle or choose items simply using the ENTER key. You
must use SET first. This should help keypad fanatics to avoid setting options in Windows accidentally.
41.9.6
Keypad Syntax (Theatre Patch)
This setting swaps around the syntax used for patching Heads. The normal syntax for patching (Theatre Path is se to No) is
<number of heads> @ <dmx address>
When set to Yes, the syntax for patching is:
<head number> @ <dmx address>
Thatre Patch supports patching multiple multiple DMX addresses to one head when using Theatre Patch syntax. For example to
patch Head no 10 at DMX addresses 1, 2 and 3 enter
10 @ 1 + 2 + 3
As with the Patch, View DMX there is a maximum of 6 DMX addresses per Head.
