MagicQ software supports 64 universes but older versions of MagicQ support less universes. To change the number of universes
in operation please see

MagicQ supports 3
rd
party DMX dongles but cannot guarantee their performance. – these devices are supported on Universe 1
only. Note that some of these devices rely on the PC to do the DMX framing and therefore results may be unpredictable on some
systems. Many of these devices are unable to transmit full DMX frames at the full DMX refresh rate.
MagicQ Dual DMX modules, MagicDMX interfaces and SnakeSys Ethernet to DMX Interfaces use their own internal processor
to ensure correct DMX framing at high DMX refresh rates.
