Ich denke ein Thread für die ganzen neuen Betas reicht eigentlich, muß man ja nicht jedes mal einen neuen aufmachen, in Zukunft bitte einfach unten anhängen bzw. diskutieren...

MagicQ version 1.4.0.5
New Functions
Movie support in the Media Engine
MagicQ now supports playback of movies as well as bitmaps, text and FX in its internal
media (pixel mapping) engine. MagicQ supports up to 1024 different movie files.
There is an enhanced Generic BitmapFX called Generic BitmapFX2. This contains 4 more
channels including movie speed. It is possible to morph from Generic BitmapFX to Generic
BitmapFX2 so old shows that used the media engine can be upgraded to use the new features.
Movies are accessed through Beam Page 1 – there are 4 new ranges on the “Bitmap Page”
encoder – Movie 1,Movie 2,Movie 3, Movie 4. These ranges are after the custom user bitmap
Pages, User 1 to User 4.
Movies are stored in the movies folder (show\movies) in a similar way that bitmaps are stored
in the bitmaps folders. Movie files are stored in a special ChamSys movie format which
compresses the data to the required grid resolution. The files are named movie001-001.cmv,
movie001-002.cmv, etc...
ChamSys movie files are created using Tools in the MagicQ MediaCentre application (this
now incorporates the MagicQ Matrix Viewer) which is installed when you install MagicQ PC.
MagicQ MediaCentre uses the free software VirtualDub under the GPL licence to perform the
movie conversion to new the new resolution. VirtualDub is installed in the VirtualDub folder
under the MagicQ PC folder.
When converting movie files we recommend you choose the same movie resolution as your
grid size on MagicQ. Click the auto install feature to automatically install the converted
media file into the movies folder naming it with the next free movie ID.
The speed of movie playback can be controlled by the movie speed encoder.
Remote control
Improved remote control of a MagicQ from another MagicQ. Now there is a Remote icon
when you install MagicQ PC – this runs MagicQ in remote mode.
In remote mode MagicQ acts only as a remote control system; it does not send transmit any
ArtNet or any other network traffic except for the control of the remote MagicQ system.
When you start up MagicQ in remote mode it will scan for MagicQ consoles on the network
and give a list of the available consoles to select from.
To stop remote control of a MagicQ console click on “Quit”. Select “yes” to quit from
MagicQ or “no” to return to the list of MagicQ consoles to control another console.
Other changes
Modified web server for remote to improve performance on Iphones which erroneously zoom
out every time the web page is refreshed.
Added Flicker FX to the FX Engine. Set the Random option in the FX Editor to Flicker or Flicker Sync.
Bug fixes
Fixed problem in v1.4.0.3 when using the new “Keypad Syntax – Theatre Patch” option – it
would erroneously patch heads when entering data in the Patch Window.
