MagicQ Console Quick Start Manual
10 of 34
Towards the bottom of the touch screen are two small windows, the Status Display and the Input Display. The Status
Display shows the current date and time, the ADD / SWAP status of the console and other relevant status information.
The Input Display shows the data that has been currently entered through the keypad and the keyboard. Note that text
is not entered into the main Windows until ENTER is pressed. This allows the user to choose whether the keyboard
data is SET into fields in the windows or onto Playbacks.
After a command has been entered it also confirms that the command has been accepted and shows any error messages
when a command is not possible.
Head Control
The area around the two large rotary encoders is referred to as the head control area. It is used to alter the parameters
of individual heads and apply effects such as fans over groups of heads.
The NEXT HEAD and PREV HEAD buttons are used to select
an individual head to modify.
The other buttons control the selection mode; LOCATE,
HIGHLIGHT, FAN, SINGLE, ODD/EVEN, and ALL.
