Chamsys MagicHD Rack Mount Dongle

The MagicQ Rack Mount Dongle is a compact USB device designed to unlock the full functionality of ChamSys MagicQ PC systems, removing demo mode limitations for professional use in installations, system racks, and permanent setups. This dongle enables critical features like remote control access, scheduled events, web server editing, and USB-MIDI support, without the need for a connected wing or interface.

Perfect for rack-mounted PCs and venues with limited space, the dongle also activates standalone MagicHD functionality with up to 8 media layers, even when no MagicQ console is present. It offers a streamlined alternative to the MagicQ Dual DMX Interface, making it ideal for users who don’t need physical DMX outputs but require full software capabilities.
