The ChamSys MagicQ Stadium Connect is a highly versatile USB lighting console designed for professionals who require extensive control capabilities in a compact and portable format. Finished in a sleek black, this powerful console features a robust set of tools tailored for live events, including 64 direct universes of DMX output and the ability to pre-visualize up to 256 universes. With 10 backlit and motorized faders alongside 10 playback encoders, the Stadium Connect provides ample programmable real estate, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow for lighting designers.

Outputting 64 universes directly from the console, the MagicQ Stadium Connect utilizes industry-standard protocols such as sACN, Art-Net, and Pathport, allowing for easy integration into existing systems without the need for additional processing nodes.

This capability allows users to access up to 202 playbacks across six banks, providing unprecedented flexibility during live performances.

The console's playback encoders enhance live operation, enabling a multitude of functions to be assigned with full legending displayed directly above each encoder. This means users can control various parameters, such as intensity, FX size, and speed, all while having instant access to the functionalities they need. The dual 100mm crossfade faders, combined with prominent GO and BACK buttons, create a professional theatre control experience, allowing for precise and dynamic adjustments in real-time.

In addition to its powerful hardware, the MagicQ Stadium Connect features extensive customization options with RGB illumination for playback faders and encoders. This allows lighting designers to clearly differentiate functions, enhancing usability during high-pressure situations. The console is built on reliable MagicQ software, ensuring compatibility across all ChamSys products, including the MQ250M and MQ500M. Show files can be easily transferred between consoles, with backward and forward compatibility, eliminating concerns regarding software versions.

With a focus on performance and user-friendliness, the MagicQ Stadium Connect is equipped with dual high-power USB ports for charging devices, an audio input for sound-to-light synchronization, and a variety of connectivity options, including MIDI and LTC timecode ports. Designed to excel in demanding environments, this console is ideal for touring shows, corporate events, and theatrical productions where flexibility and reliability are paramount.
