MagicQ User Manual 91 Version 1.3.0.0
Note that in keyboard busk mode many programming options will not work as expected because the
keys are used for busking.
13.7.7 Splash screen image
Users can now add their own splash screen by copying their splash image named usersplash.bmp into
the MagicQ folder. This will be used in favour of the default splash.bmp.
13.8 Cue Storage Settings
13.8.1 Delete Cues when delete Cue Stacks
With this option you can force Cues to be deleted when the Cue Stack that uses them is deleted. Cues
are only deleted if they are not used in other Cue Stacks. This option defaults to NO.
13.8.2 Delete Cue Stacks on remove Playbacks
With this option you can force Cue Stacks to be deleted when the Playback is deleted. Cue Stacks are
only deleted if they are not used in other Playbacks. This option defaults to NO.
13.8.3 Use first free Cue for record
By default MagicQ uses the lowest free Cue when recording new Cues. Disabling this option forces
MagicQ to record Cues at the next free Cue after the last one recorded.
13.9 Interface Settings
13.9.1 TCP/IP and Parallel Port Addresses
The console stores the TCP/IP addresses for the network interface and the parallel port address for parallel
dongle type interfaces. The addresses are configured in the Setup Window. The addresses are stored as part
of the console configuration rather than as part of the show data. Thus erasing show data does not affect
their configuration.
For communicating with an ArtNet convertor the TCP/IP address must be set to a number in the range
2.x.x.x (e.g. 2.9.200.1) and the Sub net address must be set to 255.0.0.0.
On software prior to v1.2.0.0 modifications to he TCP/IP addresses and the parallel port addresses only take
effect after a restart of the application software. To restart the application software open the Setup Window
and then whilst holding SHIFT down press the QUIT soft button. Confirm yes and the software will restart
within a few seconds.
Note that on the MagicQ PC the TCP/IP address of the PC system is configured through Windows rather
than through the MagicQ PC software. However the MagicQ PC software must also be told the TCP/IP
address so that it knows which network interface to use.
