ChamSys Rack Dongle Description

The Rack Dongle is a simple yet powerful tool that transforms your PC-based MagicQ system into a fully functional lighting control platform. It removes demo restrictions—previously only unlocked by using a MagicQ Wing or Dual DMX Interface—allowing access to advanced features like MIDI input, scheduled events, web server editing, and playback triggering. This dongle is also required to unlock the full 8-layer mode in MagicHD when used as a standalone media server, rather than being triggered by a ChamSys console. Its compact size makes it easy to integrate into rack-mounted computers or control systems where space and simplicity are key. By enabling USB-MIDI and DMX-in triggering, the Rack Dongle gives you more control flexibility without needing extra hardware. It’s ideal for installations, theatres, and media servers that require robust, software-based control without bulky external devices.
