Richard CSL Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I have a show currently running on a pc wing using both universes. If I remove the pc wing (for another job) and put 2 USB magic DMX dongles into the laptop, will I still get both universes out. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenalien Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 No. The Magic dongles are one universe, demo devices, unfortunately not a cheap way to get extra MagicQ universes. I think that also applies to all the other DMX dongles as well - Enntec, uDMX and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard CSL Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 is there a price for the magic Q DMX 2 universe output device , I cant find a price anywhere.Also perhaps Art net is the way to go, I heard of a 4 universe artnert device from Work. but again struggeling to find this on the net. Just found an enttec open DMX unit on Thomannhttp://www.thomann.d...mx_ethernet.htmcould I use this with a DMX dongle on uni 1 and the enttec open on uni 2.? or will this unit work with MQ. Elation 8 node DMX . for 349 euros.http://www.licht-geluid.nl/shop/p-13664-elation-e-node-8-artnetdmx-node.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wol Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 If you want a price for the MQ 2 DMX interface, get in contact with your local distributor which I think for Spain is Equipson and they should be able to give you an up to date price. We don't support the MagicDMX device working at the same time as other interfaces however. Its designed for testing of a single DMX output, or just to trial the software out with a single universe rig, so hasn't been designed to work in conjunction with other interfaces also, and thus only runs on the first universe for a zero-conf setup. If you need 2 outputs, either get one of the 2 output USB interfaces, or as you say, you could use an ArtNet / ACN > DMX box such as http://chamsys.co.uk/snakesysb4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tezzachs Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Could you not use two laptops and run one universe on each? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_s Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Artnet is the way I would go - I regularly spit out up to 8 universes from MagicQ PC via Artnet. If you're investing in hardware, a 2/3/8 port Artnet node is always going to be more flexible than a manufacturer-specific interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
