MagicQ colour question

[revbobuk]

I'm sure this is obvious to the experienced, but I'm just getting the hang of MagicQ PC, and I've patched (for experimentation) 4 Stairville LED Pars. I select the group, and use the 'colour' window to set them to (say) Blue - and sure enough, the 'blue' channel is set up full.

 

But here's the question. I've located the four heads on the Output plan - and when I 'view colours' the square appears yellow. If I choose Cyan, the square comes up red. White gives me black - and so on. Am I missing something obvious? It seems as if the 'output' display is using a different colour model from the 'colour' window. Help?

inverted cym?

Which fixtures do you have patched and mapped into the output window?

Umm - that would be the 4 Stairville LED Pars. What's interesting is that it seems to be the output display that is wrong; the output to the PARs seems correct

Not sure if its related,but been using stairville led pars on my chamsys this weekend,all worked fine apart from 2 built in effects cym and led rgb, cym produced rgb, and rgb produced cym.

Is that using the RGB or LEDRGB effects? If its using the standard CMY and RGB effects then it would produce these results as they were originally written for CMY heads, so RGB fixtures would give the inverse of what you expect.

It was the LEDRGB effect - and, as I mentioned, the light coming out of the fixtures was correct; the little grid squares were the ones that were back'ards.
