Chromateq CQSA USB DMX Ethernet Series: Stand-Alone Interfaces with Software

Thanks to its powerful Stand-Alone mode, the Chromateq CQSA USB DMX is the definitively perfect DMX controller for all entertainment and architectural projects. Hardware is compatible with LED Player, Pro DMX, and Studio DMX software, so the interface is suitable for all Live applications and fixed installations. The interface can play back a complete project without a PC, and the additional SD card slot allows for the possibility of extending the memory capacity. Users can customize the interface functions and modes; it is possible to choose what mode to activate or not in Stand Alone from any of the available modes (Trigger, Page, Color, Dimmer, Speed) and load the modes of your choice in memory.

*All Chromateq™ Lighting Management Software is Free and requires a Chromateq™ Device or Interface to transform your computer into an impressively adaptable and effective DMX Controller.  ** Requires the customer’s email and serial number
