ChamSys Unleashes The Power of Choice at LDI With New MagicQ Compact Wing and GeNetix TouchScene

SOUTHAMPTON, UK – The Power Of Choice! Psychologists, motivational experts, and the like have dispensed reams of advice on how to embrace this potent force in our lives.

Now, ChamSys has made it simpler to channel this power (at least as far as lighting control and design are concerned), with the three new products that have been engineered to put more choices directly in the hands of lighting professionals. Debuting at the company’s LDI booth 1653, the ChamSys MagicQ Compact Wing, and GeNetix TouchScene are loaded with features that take flexibility to new heights, helping users excel in a variety of settings.

The highly anticipated MagicQ Compact Wing, with its extended playback surface, does this in myriad ways providing more faders, more playbacks – and more choices! All of which open up an endless world of creative opportunities.

A simple, portable solution, the MagicQ Compact Wing offers 20 playbacks – 10 fader and 10 executor playbacks. Each section of playbacks can page through multiple playbacks via its own Next and Previous page buttons. All the playbacks feature a large full colour display for playback with the legends located directly above each playback. The 10 playback Faders feature Flash, Go and Select (via its Touch display), while the 10 space-saving Executor playbacks employ a Select and Execute button for each playback.

Adding to its impressive versatility, the MagicQ Compact Wing, which is styled to match the MQ50/70 Compact Consoles, is equally at home when combined with the Compact Connect on PC Systems. Well-suited for live events, this highly adaptable product is also ideal for theatre, TV broadcast, or any application where additional playbacks are wanted for extended control.

Also enhancing the power of choice and building on this year’s LDI theme, true colours reveaLED, is the new GeNetix TouchScene series. The GeNetix TouchScene (and its smaller cousin, the GeNetix TouchScene MINI) are wall-mounted touch panel displays that enable remote scene activations at the press of a button. With cues provided through a ChamSys control system, The TouchScene family are able to provide precise remote control of the system and various levels of operation.

The larger TouchScene features an 8-inch display, while the Touch MINI has a 4-inch screen. Both sizes integrate with MagicQ, QuickQ, and GeNetix Nodes for activation of cues. Both also have a customizable UI layout design when connected to MagicQ Quick Q Systems, as well as support for custom background images.

Intended for the installation market, the TouchScene is similar to the 10Scene Wall Plates, but with the advantage that the touch display enables button functions to be labelled on the display. The touch display can be changed, providing more flexibility than plates that are limited to fixed button functions labelled by paper.

The versatile TouchScene shows faders instead of buttons. However, it can also show faders with buttons. In either case, the TouchScene handles more advanced features, such as colour picking that allows the user to choose from a rainbow colour picker. Again, more choices bring more power, more flexibility, and that, of course, leads to more outstanding results!
