MagicQ Console Quick Start Manual
5 of 34
The original MQ100 (MQ100 Xpert) has the following connections.
The rear panel of the MQ50 is similar but with a slightly different layout of the connectors. The MQ50 power
connector is an IEC connector.
Plugging up
•
Connect the power lead to the power socket labelled LINE INPUT.
•
Put the console lamps into the console lamp sockets
•
Connect the keyboard to the socket on the back panel marked KEYBOARD
It is not necessary to connect the mouse. The mouse is only required if the touch screen becomes damaged.
DMX connections
The MagicQ Pro series of consoles have 4 direct DMX outputs on the rear of the panel so you can connect your DMX
cables direct to the console.
Alternatively you can use Ethernet and an external Ethernet to DMX converter box such as the ChamSys 3 Universe
Ethernet to DMX converter. Connect the DMX converter to the console Network port via the network cable provided.
When making a direct connection in this way an ”inverted” network cable must be used.
To connect multiple Ethernet to DMX converters to the console, use a network hub or network router using standard
network cables.
