Getting Started
The following instructions assume you are using MagicHD as part of MagicQ PC (the combined version ). Most steps are the
same for other system configurations.
2.1 Super Quick Start
setup → NEW SHOW
patch → CHOOSE DIM/MEDIA → MagicHD → PATCH IT
In the patch keypad, type 1 and ENTER, then NO.
setup → VIEW SYSTEM → VIEW MEDIA
From the MagicQ menu :
Media Player → View Media Output
Media Player → Select Server, close.
Select the MagicHD window, position it in the required screen and press F11 (Mac: Shift-Cmd-F, Linux: Shift-Ctrl-F).
media → Output → LOCATE → Layer 1 → LOCATE
2.2 Quick Start
setup → NEW SHOW
patch → CHOOSE DIM/MEDIA → MagicHD → PATCH IT
In the patch keypad, type 1 and ENTER, then NO.
MagicHD takes one whole DMX universe so there are no alternative configurations.
patch → VIEW DMX
to confirm.
setup → VIEW SYSTEM → VIEW MEDIA

network.
Edit the name if you wish: double click the name, or select the cell then press set twice.
Enable live previews for the server: double click on the Live prev cell and select YES, or select the cell and type 1, ENTER.
