20.2 Full Screen View
The Execute Window can be run in full-screen mode, thus allowing the whole of the screen to be
customised. Selecting the “Run in Execute Window” option in the Setup Window ensures that the console
/ MagicQ PC will start up in the Execute Window. Note that on MagicQ PC, the buttons on the full screen
Execute Window will only work when a MagicQ PC Wing is connected. The size of the full screen
Execute Window can be set via the Set Win Size button – this defaults to 1024 by 768 for MagicQ PC and
800 by 600 for the console.
It is possible to protect the Execute Window such that operators only see the Execute Window and can not
use the main MagicQ application windows. From the Execute Window set up a password using the Set
Password soft button. If an operator tries to close the window then they have the choice of shutting down
or entering the password to re-enter the main MagicQ application windows.
For security reasons there is not a master password. To reset the password on a console or MagicQ PC
system that is locked, please contact your local dealer.
20.3 Faders
The Execute Window now supports faders as well as buttons. Cue Stacks and Cues can be represented as
faders. To set a Cue Stack or Cue as a fader, move the cursor to the item and press SOFT button E to
toggle between button and fader. A ‘F’ appears in the corner of the item when it is set to be a fader.
Faders are only shown in Execute View, not in Design View.
Faders can be twice as tall as buttons. When setting faders in the Execute Window leave the box below
the fader free. The fader will automatically be adjusted in the Excute View to fill the two boxes.
Soft button B has been renamed “Appearance” and it is now possible to select “Boxes” or “Coloured” for
the appearance of the buttons and faders. Names for buttons and faders now use a bold font.
It is possible to set custom pictures for the buttons in the Execute Window. Move the cursor to the button
you wish to set a custom bitmap on and then press the BUTTON BITMAP button and select the a picture
file (bmp or jpeg).
If you wish to have separate button images for a button when it is inactive and active then create 2 image
files named with “up” and “dn” as the last 2 characters of the filename before the file extension – for
example
mybuttonup.bmp
mybuttondn.bmp
When selecting the file, choose the “up” file. MagicQ will automatically substitute the “dn” file when the
button is active.
