2nd Monitor Support:
Support for the 2nd monitor output on Pro consoles has been added. The monitor output
defaults to off. Turn it on in Setup, View Settings, Port Settings, External Monitor 2.
Before turning on the 2nd monitor output, ensure that the monitor card upgrade has been
carried out – this requires the fitting of a monitor card inside the rear panel. Note that the
presence of the 2nd VGA connector does NOT indicate that that the monitor card has been
fitted.
It is recommended to turn off the 2nd monitor output when a monitor is not connected as this
will improve performance slightly.
The 2nd monitor output can be a touch monitor. To connect a serial touch monitor, simply
connect the serial cable to the serial port on MagicQ. Then select the appropriate protocol in
Setup, View Settings, Port Settings, Serial remote protocol.
In order to connect USB touch screen monitors to MagicQ it is necessary to upgrade the
Linux kernel. This can be carried out by copying the kernel file into the main MagicQ folder
on MagicQ consoles and then in the Setup Window typing updatelinux and pressing QUIT.
New shows made with this version of software have modified pre-programmed layout views.
