Scene Setter
The MagicQ Scene Setter enables control of MagicQ from a remote location using a fixed network connection. The Scene Setter
has 4 playback faders and 12 playback buttons, and can be mapped to the wing playbacks on a MagicQ system. An LCD screen
shows the legends for the playbacks.
The Scene Setter can be powered from the SnakeSys R4 which features a 3 port POE Switch, thus avoiding the need to run
separate power cables. The scene setter can also be powered from any 48v PoE capable network switch that provides power on
the unused Cat 5 pairs. If not used with a PoE switch, a Power over Ethernet injector will be required to power the unit.
Multiple Scene Setters can be used in a system - each with a separate ID, allowing each to control 4 different playbacks on the
MagicQ system.
On MagicQ PC/Mac the system needs a MagicQ Wing or Interface, Rack Mount Dongle or SnakeSys network device connected
to enable the Scene Setter functions.
