Enabling Outputs
To enable output of channel data select the DMX IO VIEW in the Setup Window. This windows enables modification of the
inputs and outputs for all the universes. MagicQ consoles support DMX directly from the console or via an external Ethernet to
DMX convertor. On MagicQ PC or Mac you can output via USB to DMX interfaces (such as MagicDMX) or via DMX outputs
from the Wings.
6.4.1
Using Direct DMX Outputs
All current MagicQ consoles have DMX output ports directly on the rear panel.
The four DMX outputs on the rear panel automatically output universes 1 to 4 unless they are configured otherwise. The DMX
will be output regardless of the “Status” enabled or disabled in the Setup DMX I/O window. On Pro consoles there is a green
LED on the rear panel that indicates when DMX is being output.
If you wish to choose alternative universes to be output to the four DMX outputs on the rear panel then you will need to configure
the outputs manually. For each of the Universes you wish to output on the rear panel, select Out Type as “MagicQ Direct” and
Port 1, Port 2, Port 3 and Port 4 and enable the universes.
The picture below shows the direct ports to output Universes 5 to 8.
