ChamSys MagicQ Rack Mount Dongle - USB Dongle for 8-Layers in MagicHD for MagicQ Rack Systems in Blue Finish

The ChamSys MagicQ Rack Mount Dongle is a compact yet powerful USB dongle designed to unlock restricted functions in MagicQ PC systems, effectively removing the 'demo mode' limitations and providing full access to all features. This dongle is an essential tool for users seeking to maximize the capabilities of MagicQ PC systems in professional environments. It is particularly well-suited for installations where space is limited, offering a small form factor that easily fits into rack-mounted computers, making it ideal for permanent setups.

The MagicQ Rack Mount Dongle not only removes the 'demo mode' restrictions but also unlocks all 8 layers of MagicHD standalone mode. This feature is required when MagicHD is not controlled by a ChamSys console, allowing users to manage all eight layers with ease. Whether you are using the dongle in combination with a MagicQ PC system or MagicHD standalone, this dongle provides a comprehensive solution for unlocking advanced functionalities.

In addition to unlocking MagicQ PC systems, the dongle enables the use of third-party and virtual MIDI interfaces for inputting MIDI notes into MagicQ, expanding the creative possibilities for lighting control. This functionality is not available with other ChamSys PC hardware like the PC Wing, Mini Wing, or Dual DMX interfaces. It also supports USB MIDI functionality, allowing for triggering of playbacks within MagicQ, though note that triggering via USB MIDI is limited to the first 10 playbacks in MagicQ.

The MagicQ Rack Mount Dongle offers several critical features, including access to standalone MagicHD mode with 8 layers, scheduled events, remote control via iOS, Android, PC, or Mac, audio input, and full-screen execution. Users can also take advantage of web server editing (viewing supported), autostarting playbacks, playback synchronization, multi-programming, and triggering of playbacks using DMX input. All of these functions are unlocked when the dongle is connected, making it an indispensable accessory for comprehensive lighting control systems.

For users seeking a compact, versatile, and cost-effective solution, the MagicQ Rack Mount Dongle is an excellent choice. It provides the same functionality as the MagicQ Dual DMX Interface but offers the advantage of a smaller, rack-friendly design. While the Dual DMX Interface provides two output ports, the dongle's small form factor and expanded functionality make it ideal for installations with limited space and specific operational needs.
