As a commercial-grade DMX lighting controller supporting 8 universes, it suits house of worship installs, school theatres, club integration, and multi-purpose room deployments. The 10.1\" multi-touch display and ten Cue Stack playbacks give programmers full control in a rack-adjacent or tabletop format. Its silent, fanless operation makes it appropriate for quiet performance environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MQ50 brings the full MagicQ software platform to a compact chassis intended for fixed-install and small touring use. The console outputs 8 universes through four assignable physical DMX ports plus a network port for Art-Net and sACN, so integrators can scale output between hardwired fixtures and networked nodes during deployment. RDM support on both the direct DMX ports and the network connection allows remote device configuration and addressing without physical access to each fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/MQ50-FRONT-1.png?v=1782441842\" alt=\"ChamSys MagicQ MQ50 compact lighting console front view\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt-in WiFi connects the console directly to the ChamSys MagicQ Remote application, letting a technician focus fixtures from the floor without external networking hardware or network configuration knowledge. The 10.1\" HD multi-touch display, eight attribute encoders, and dedicated grand master and crossfade faders give programmers direct, tactile access during a show. An HDMI output drives an external monitor up to 1920x1200 for an expanded programming workspace in a control room or booth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/MQ50-BACK.png?v=1782441842\" alt=\"ChamSys MagicQ MQ50 rear panel DMX and network connectivity\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the MQ50 shares the same software and show file format as the entire MagicQ range, show files move between the MQ50 and larger consoles for integration into existing ChamSys infrastructure. MagicVis visualisation and MagicHD media connectivity extend the console into pre-visualisation and media playback workflows. It ships with a dual-colour desk light, dust cover, and Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 power cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey

for integration?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe console outputs DMX over four direct ports and supports Art-Net, sACN, and Pathport over its network port, so it integrates with both hardwired fixtures and networked DMX nodes. RDM is supported on the direct ports and the network connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the MQ50 be installed in a fixed AV or rack environment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The compact 525mm x 350mm chassis and silent fanless operation make it well suited to permanent install locations such as control booths and equipment areas. It uses a locking Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 input for reliable power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the wireless remote focusing work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MQ50 has built-in WiFi that connects directly to the ChamSys MagicQ Remote application, allowing a technician to focus fixtures from the venue floor without adding external networking hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the MQ50 compatible with other MagicQ consoles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The MQ50 runs the same MagicQ software and uses the same show file format as the entire MagicQ range, so show files transfer between consoles for backup, expansion, or multi-console integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the console support media and visualisation workflows?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MQ50 connects to MagicVis for pre-visualisation and MagicHD for HD media playback, and supports up to 50 media server layers, extending it into integrated production workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat support and documentation are available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChamSys publishes the MagicQ user manual, spec sheets, and training resources, and provides free MagicQ software downloads.
