Chromateq CQSA-E 1024 USB DMX Ethernet Stand Alone Multiprotocol Interface & Software

The new CQSA-E 1024 includes an Ethernet port and the USB port. This gives long-distance access and communication with the device anywhere on a Local Network (LAN & WLAN).  Connected to an access point or a router, you will have control with a mobile or tablet using the Wi-Light APP. Same hardware features as the CQSA 1024 with ETHERNET port for Local Area Network.

A 5-in-1 multiprotocol Stand Alone device featuring DMX In/Out, Art-Net Out, sACN Out, Node (Art-Net to DMX decoder), and Splitter, the CQSA-E 1024 is a versatile and essential tool designed to meet the needs of the widest array of lighting projects, performances, and installations.

The Chromateq CQSA-E 1024 is compatible with all Chromateq software and can be integrated into scalable control systems designed for live performance or fixed installation or deployed individually without a computer as an elegantly simple but sophisticated standalone control solution.

When connected to a computer, software remote control is available via Android and iOS devices with Chromateq’s Wi-Light 2 APP, with other Live trigger options including MIDI, RS232, UDP / Ethernet, Shortcut Keys, Audio Beat, and BPM.  CQSA-E 1024 enables control of Art-Net universes via a connected computer’s ethernet network port.

**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.
