Connect Module
High-density field hub and routing backbone
Connect is built for hobbyists, prosumers, and professional/SFX crews who want pro-level routing and continuity without abandoning the controllers they already trust.
The Connect Module is the central hub in the field where your cue lines, sidecars, and IQ Slats come together.
Connect is designed for crews of all sizes—from solo hobbyists and weekend teams to full-time professional and special-effects operators.
Core capabilities
Connect takes up to 36 cue inputs from your existing controller and routes them across 108 outputs, with up to 10 connection points per output—giving you as many as 1,080 igniter connection points from a single unit.
- High channel density: Designed around a 36×108 concept – up to 36 cue inputs, 108 routed outputs, and 10 connection points per output (up to 1,080 individual connections).
- Flexible cue routing: Route any incoming trigger to any output block, or fan a single cue out to multiple blocks when your design calls for mirrored looks or redundancy.
- Per-block firing modes: Each output block can be configured for parallel, serial, or sequential firing behavior. Serial mode requires no special jumpers or rack rewiring – selection is handled inside the Connect architecture.
- Continuity per connection: Continuity is checked at each connection point, not just per cue, so a “10-on-1” block can show exactly which item is open or faulted.
- Structured wiring: Multi-pin slat connectors and a dedicated Sidecar dock replace improvised fan-outs with documented, repeatable interfaces.
- Local firing & routing: Connect is not a passive passthrough. It owns the firing energy and routing logic, so safety checks and continuity tests happen where the switching actually occurs.
- Field-ready mechanics: Enclosure, connectors, and layouts are chosen for outdoor work: repeated setups, real weather, and transport abuse.
In practical terms, Connect sits on the field as your signal and power distribution brain, coordinating how triggers from the Sidecar world are delivered to IQ Slats and ultimately to the igniters.
