Chamsys MagicQ Stadium Connect Programming Interface
Chamsys MagicQ Stadium Connect brings a PC-based programming interface together with a substantial hands-on control layout. Its motorised playbacks, encoder controls, dual crossfaders, and backlit interface give lighting designers clear access to show programming, while MagicQ software provides direct output for up to 64 universes and pre-programming across 400 visualisation universes.
Hands-on control for live operation
Ten fully motorised fader playbacks, ten encoder playbacks, and dual 100mm Manual Cross Faders put key controls within easy reach. The playback section can change function using shortcut buttons, while full legending directly above the playback encoders shows their current assignment. Up to six banks provide access to 202 playbacks, alongside the 20 physical playback controls.
Direct software output and pre-programming
MagicQ software can send 64 universes directly via Art-Net, sACN, and Pathport, without additional processing nodes. For preparation away from the final lighting rig, the system also supports up to 400 visualisation universes. This gives programmers a way to build and review lighting control work before live operation.
Clear controls, configurable workspace
Backlit buttons, RGB illumination for the playbacks and encoders, and illuminated fader tracks keep the control surface visible during operation. Updated graphics and configurable illumination let lighting designers arrange the interface around their needs, while the network port acts as a network interface for the PC.
Built for connected show programming
Alongside core lighting control, MagicQ Stadium Software includes an audio timeline editor, multi emitter colour picker, 3D trackers support, and plot. MIDI ports, LTC Timecode Ports, Audio Input Sound to Light, and four USB ports add further connection points, including two dedicated high-power USB ports for charging phones or tablets.
