Worth knowing before you book

• The Gigabit Ethernet port connects it to a lighting network. If your rig runs over Art-Net or sACN nodes rather than straight DMX from the wings, tell us and we'll set it up to suit.
• Bring your show file on a USB stick, or send it beforehand and we'll load and check it against the patch.
• There are no USB-A ports, so we supply the right leads for the wings and any other USB devices. Tell us if you're bringing your own.
• It's small enough to sit on a FOH desk or in a rack drawer — it doesn't need a dedicated table.
• Programming days before the show? Hire it for the extra days and we can set it up at your venue.

Ideal for

• Lighting operators running MagicQ shows
• Theatre and school productions
• Festival and band stages
• Programming ahead of a show
