ChamSys | CS100012 | Rack Mount Dongle / MagicHD Dongle

MagicQ Rack Mount Dongle is a USB Dongle that unlocks MagicQ PC systems from 'demo mode' allowing access to restricted functions.

MagicQ PC systems are also unlocked from 'demo mode' when connected to a MagicQ Wing or MagicQ USB Interface (not MagicDMX), The MagicQ Rack Mount dongle performs the same role in a small form factor - ideal for installations.

The Rack Mount dongle can also be used to unlock all 8 layers of MagicHD stand alone, which is only necessary when MagicHD is not controlled by a ChamSys console.

The Rack Mount Dongle has the same price as the MagicQ Dual DMX Interface, but where the Dongle is small and can easily fit into a rack mounted computer, the Dual DMX Interface does not. However, the Dual DMX Interface provides two output ports, so customers may find this a more cost-effective solution in some cases.

In addition to unlocking MagicQ PC Systems from 'demo mode', connecting the rack mount dongle also allows the use of 3rd party and virtual MIDI interfaces to input Midi notes into MagicQ, other ChamSys PC hardware such as the PC Wing, Mini Wing and Dual DMX do not unlock this functionality.
