I just got a Snake b4 ethernet module. It is connected and magicq on my mac is active and not in demo mode. I have my old horizon pc system outputting dmx into the dmx input on the snake b4. I am not seeing any dmx values coming in. I have created a dummy show with 1 to 1 patch of dimmers on both consoles. Horizon is running in a loop fading up and down 44 channels/dimmers to full and 0. The magic q doesn't show any activity in the "output/view dmx" window. Selecting the heads/dimmers and capturing in prog shows nothing. I have been messing with all the settings I can find. I created a brand new file with defaults and still no input activity. I have looked on youtube and found nothing. I tried the manual but found it to be lacking in info.
What I want to do is:
capture existing cues off horizon into magic q so i don't have to create the whole show from scratch.
Magic q System is mac pro 3 1 running el capitan with ethernet plugged to snake b4. non demo mode.
Horizon is a pc win xp with horizon module running dmx 1 universe output.
The dmx output from horizon is plugged into the input on back of the ethernet snake b4. The blue led is lit constantly and the white led below pluses at 1 second pulse. The mq led on front pulses. the orange act led pulses with activity and the link led is constant.
