MagicQ User Manual 27 Version 1.4.9.0
The original MQ100 (MQ100 Expert) 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.
3.2 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.
The Pro 2010 consoles support USB keyboards and mice.
3.3 DMX Connections
The MagicQ Pro and Pro 2010 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.
