portytech Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Has anyone had any experience with the following, paticularly with MagicQ this or this or this Thank you in advance EDIT: to fix link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norty303 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I think you will find that MagicQ will only work with Chamsys wings.Otherwise there'd be no incentive to buy their stuff, seeing as they give the software away. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david.elsbury Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Dongles, yes. Wings, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portytech Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 The manual says that there is an Art-Net mode for the wings and MagicQ supports Art-Net so would it be possible to run it that way?? the manual can be found here Page 26 deals with Art-Net I'm not to clued up on Art-Net so any advice is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.elsbury Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 From the manual for the Enttec wings you linked to:When Art-Net mode is enabled, the Wing becomes a standalone source forlevel information via the Art-Net protocol of DMX over Ethernet.From the MagicQ manual:The possible [output] protocols areNone -No protocolArt-Net -Art-Net and Art-Net II protocol (over Ethernet)Pathport -Pathport protocol (over Ethernet)Show Net -Show net protocol (over Ethernet)ACN -Streaming DMX (over Ethernet)*snip*Open USB -Open USB dongle - e.g. Enttec Open USBEnttec Pro -Enttec Pro dongleandIt is possible to use an external DMX console to gain extra playback controls when using MagicQconsoles. This is not a replacement for a MagicQ Playback wing with its legending and Cue Stackcontrols, however it may be useful in certain circumstances.You can use an external desk for DMX in, but not a 3rd party wing such as Enttec for control. The Art-Net on Magicq is not for control. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
