36 Using the remote input on MagicQ
The MagicQ PC Wing, MagicQ MaxiWing and MagicQ consoles support a remote input on the rear panel,
which can be used to trigger functions in MagicQ from an external control device or switch. The remote
trigger can be used to trigger Cues in Cues Stacks, to flash playbacks, as a master GO button, or as a
ADD/SWAP selector.
36.1 Connection (PC Wing)
On the PC Wing the remote input is provided on a standard 5 pin 180 degree DIN connector.
The connections are (in the sequence they appear physically on the connector)
3 0V and equipment ground
5 Opto isolated input positive
2 Power supply positive (5 Volt, current limited)
4 Opto isolated input negative
1 0V and equipment ground (same as pin 3)
The remote input can be used to receive an external signal on the opto isolated inputs, or it can be wired to
an external switch. To receive an external signal wire the signal + to pin 5 and the signal – to pin 4. When
used as external optically isolated input the maximum continuous voltage rating is 24V DC.
When wiring to an external switch links pins 4 and 1. Then connect the external switch between pins 2
and 5.
