ChamSys MagicQ Basic Training: Playback Options

[@solusfides]

Using the time feature with blind and clear wouldn't have crossed my mind, but may be something I can't do without from now on.

[@ChamSysLtd]

Its a great trick! Especially combined with applying palettes with time and offset also!

thank you for sharing this useful information

Nothing to add.. but it would be pretty funny if you buy a brand new car and you don't get the manual and then you'll just wait the manufacturer to release some random tutorials how the car really works.. like "thank you, now I know how to put it on reverse gear" 😂😂

After I rec individual fixture group cues (e.g 3 group RGB par/ Moving Head / scanner ), how to chain playback all fixture group cues at one button ?

[@ChamSysLtd]

Could you e-mail your show file to [e-mail] for one of our support team to take a look at this question for you?

[@nathanspears_]

Hello! I come from a traditional theatre workflow using subs. How can I get the playback information into the programmer to record into a cue please? When I record a cue with playbacks enabled, it doesn't capture the information because the levels are not in the programmer?

[@ChamSysLtd]

There are a few ways that you can do this - Option 1 - Open 'prog' window and press 'snap shot' to snapshot the desk output and put this into the programmer, then record your cue. Option 2 (and possibly preffered), use SHIFT+REC choose 'rec type' and select SnapShot, then select PB. (note THRU+REC is a shortcut for this if on consoles)

[@PeopleVersusTV]

I've watched two videos of basic training and still don't know how to actually add my lights to the programme.

You could use a macro for this (macro window) Create a create of pressing the 'go' button, then assign the macro go any key on your keyboard (assign macro)

Do I need a console to operate lights? I've tried controlling lights I've setup through patch but can figure out how to make them come on. I feel I'm missing some aspect of this software.

[@ChamSysLtd]

The free MagicQ PC software will output 64 universes direct, without any hardware required. Do contact our support team if you need assistance getting the outputs working.

[@sajjidkh4209]

could you please let me know how to control the console from touch screen laptop wirelessly in the same network

[@ChamSysLtd]

This can be done using 'remote control', you'll find the option under: Setup > View system > View monitors on the remote system.
