MagicQ User Manual 217 / 355
• All Slaves are automatically synchronised to the show file from the Master console.
• All Slaves can take control of part of the output via the selective channel control feature.
• All Slaves can edit show data including Palettes, Cues and Cue Stacks on the Master console.
• All Slaves are automatically synchronised to the playback state of the Master console. Each Slave can choose to Inhibit PB
Sync, for example whilst programming.
It is possible to inhibit all network output from the consoles in the network session using the Inhibit All feature. All consoles
outputs within the network session are disabled. It is still possible to change Master but the outputs remain disabled.
When the Network Session Mode is enabled (set to Manual Takeover or Automatic Takeover) then it is not necessary to set up
any other settings relating to Hot Takeover, Playback Sync Type, Playback Sync IP, Playback Sync Port, Show Data Sync Type
or Show Data Sync – MagicQ sets this automatically within the network session.
Just set Net Session Mode and Net Session ID for all the consoles you wish to be part of the session.
28.6.1 Manual Takeover
The first console to start becomes the Master. In Setup, View DMX I/O, Take Control and Release Control can be used to swap
which console is the Master at any time.
