19.3.5 ChamSys Ethernet Interface
To use a ChamSys Ethernet interface box, set Universes 1 to 3 to an Out Type of Art-Net, an In Type of Art-
Net and enable them. Set the Out Uni and the In Uni for Universe 1 to 0, for Universe 2 to 1 and Universe 3 to
2.
19.3.6 MQ50 Direct Console Outputs
On MagicQ 50 consoles there are 4 direct DMX outputs. To use these outputs set up Universes 1 to 4 to “MQ
Wing”.
19.3.7 MQ Consoles Direct Outputs
On original MagicQ consoles (MQ100, MQ200, MQ300) with twin DMX modules fitted in the rear panel, then
from software v1.3.3.0 these direct outputs default to outputting universes 1 to 4 from the console, providing
none of the Outputs are set to “Cham USB”.
If you wish to patch the direct outputs to other than the first 4 universes, then set the required universes to
“Cham USB” and select module Mod 1 Port 1 and Mod 1 Port 2 for the first interface, and Mod 2 Port 1 and
Mod 2 Port 2 for the second interface.
19.3.8 MQ PRO Consoles Direct Outputs
On MagicQ PRO consoles there are 4 direct DMX outputs on the rear panel. From software v1.3.3.0 these
direct outputs default to outputting universes 1 to 4 from the console, providing none of the Outputs are set to
“MQ Direct” or “Cham USB”.
If you wish to patch the direct outputs to other than the first 4 universes, then set the required universes to “MQ
Direct” and set Port 1, Port 2, Port 3 or Port 4.
On software prior to v1.3.4.9 you will need to select “CHAM USB” and select module Mod 1 Port 1, Mod 1
Port 2, Mod 1 Port 3 and Mod 1 Port 4. In software v1.3.4.9 setting to “MQ Direct” is the same as setting to
“Cham USB”.
19.3.9 ChamSys Twin DMX Interfaces
For ChamSys Twin DMX Interfaces select Cham USB. Then select the module and port in the Out Uni field.
For example, select Mod 1 Port 1 and Mod 1 Port 2 for the two outputs. Any of the console Universes can be
output to ChamSys DMX interfaces.

MagicDMX mode is set to DMX Out.
