The new Magic Box enclosure houses a range of accessories and can be easily configured in pairs for rack mounting with optional rack-ear kit, or truss mounted via the captive M12 fixing. Currently three product variants are available in the Magic Box enclosure. The 8-way DMX Buffer box is a fault tolerant, self-healing device designed to fully isolate each output from another. Supplied with 4x5 pin and 4x3 pin XLR connectors, each output of DMX is separately generated, therefore boosted from the original DMX signal. The unit also features a through connector and termination switch.
The 8>4 DMX A/B Switch box uses a simple manually operated switch to change the DMX source between two 2048-channel lighting consoles, for example master and back-up. The unit requires no power and does not incorporate any electronics or software. Finally, the 12PU Power Supply box provides three circuits of combined 24VDC power and DMX signal suitable for Chroma-Q lantern accessories. Each circuit features male and female 4pin XLR connectors which self-terminate when completed.
