Firewall blocking the program?

I shut down all my firewalls.
(Kaspersky and win7 firewall)

No result.

I have never had any problems with capture and magic q accept when the firewall has blocked one of the programs.
It's usually "plug and play"

Have a look at this maybe...

At the moment I'm a little bit further.

There is a connection between Capture Polar en MagicQ!

But...
When I add a light I can control the light with de controls in Capture Polar.
After patching the light I still can control the light in Capture polar. (so far so good)
But when I start MagicQ the controls freeze in Capture polar it's only possible to control the light via MagicQ.
When I close MagicQ again I can control everything again in Capture polar.

There is still something wrong with the connection.

Why is that a problem?
If you have a console connected there is no need to control the lamps in capture.
U can disconnect the incoming signal in universe tab if u dont want to close your console.

I thought maybe It's handy for quick and easy programming.
You can easy navigate the lights with your mouse, the dmx values would be update automatically in MagicQ.

In this way you can make very quick cues.

Or is this nonsense?

Hi Brad,

In order to get talkback working between Capture and MagicQ you will need to use CITP. Some information is available on page 328 and onward of the MagicQ manual. The main thing is to configure the "Visualiser" setting of each universe under "VIEW DMX I/O".

ow yeah! It works for 100%

Thank you guys!
Now I can go further with exploring.

One last little point for the developers.
Correct me if I'm wrong:
When you got the Capture Polar student version all the connection settings are on automatically.
You start MagicQ and all works fine.
But when you got Capture Polar Extended you must set all de connection by your self.
The automatically mode seems to be broken in that version.
That was one of my troubles.

Hi,

Each universe is automatic in both editions, but stops being so the moment you start making manual assignments. This can be inspected in the universe tab by right clicking on the universe where there are a few settings for this.
