Chapter 56
Version 1.5.7.6
56.1 New Functions
56.1.1 Blind Visualisation
MagicQ now supports Blind Visualisation and Preview Visualisation when used together with MagicVis, Capture or WYSIWYG.
This enables a Visualiser to show the contents of the Programmer during BLIND mode or to preview a Playback that is not active
on the real outputs.
In Patch, View Vis press the VIS SOURCE Soft button to choose between visualising the console Output, the BLIND program-
mer, the selected Playback, or the next step on the selected Playback.
When set to Blind Programmer MagicQ will add the contents of the Programmer to the Output visualisation even when the
programmer is in BLIND mode.
When set to Playback MagicQ will show in the visualiser the contents of the selected Playback as if the Playback fader was at
100%. Only data from the selected Playback is shown.
When set to Next GO MagicQ will show in the visualiser the output of the console as it would appear if GO was pressed on the
selected Playback. When the selected Playback has multiple steps then MagicQ always shows the next step in the Visualiser. If
the selected Playback is not active then MagicQ will show what would occur if the Playback was activated.
Blind Visualisation and Preview Visualisation do not affect the normal network outputs such as ArtNet, ACN, or Pathport. Only
the DMX stream sent directly to the Visualiser is affected.
When using Capture visualisation, Capture must be connected via CITP universes rather than ArtNet - otherwise Capture will
just show the console output.
56.1.2 Multi element heads
Multi element heads that consist of a main element and a repeated element - i.e. heads with the Before or After option set are
now stored together in one head file. This makes the heads easier to transport between consoles. The Head Editor now shows the
full channel list in View Chans including the repeated channels.
56.2 Bug Fixes
Fixed problem with layouts using multiple screens on remote tablets.
Fixed problem with manual crossfade and 16 bit dimmers. #0004719.
