Playback mode
MagicQ PC supports a Playback Mode which enables MagicQ to be run in a pure “Playback” mode. This mode is selected by
clicking on the new Playback mode Icon on the desktop or in the Programs, ChamSys MagicQ PC menu.
Playback mode is only supported when connected to a MagicQ Wing or MagicQ USB interface. The MagicQ interface must be
connected and powered on before MagicQ is started in Playback mode. Note Playback mode is not supported with MagicDMX
or 3rd Party interfaces.
In Playback mode MagicQ it is not possible to record or make changes to the show data. MagicQ will not save the show files /
status files. Changes (e.g. change of chase speed) will be lost when the application is stopped and restarted.
Playback Mode shows a much reduced set of buttons on the screen – only buttons required for show playback are shown.
In Playback Mode only pages of playbacks that have been programmed are shown – pressing NEXT PAGE will automatically
change to the next programmed page and will cycle around all programmed pages.
