6. Upgrading Console Software
New versions of MagicQ console software are made available on the downloads page
of the ChamSys website – www.chamsys.co.uk
The MagicQ Compact series uses our Stadium/Compact/Pro software installer from the
website which ends ends with the extension .cdc
Note if downloading on Mac based systems check OSX has not added ._ before the file
name.
Ensure you have saved your current show file to a USB memory stick or to an external
computer via network before you change software version and ensure any
personalities that you have customised have been saved to a different file name of your
choice – the new software will install the latest version of the standard personalities.
Download the software and copy it onto a USB drive.
Updating the console:
 Insert the memory stick into the one of the USB sockets on the console (on the rear
panel, or on the front inside the armrest).
 Go to Setup > File Manager
 Select USB Drive view
 Select the Upgrade file from the USB drive
 Console will ask ‘do you want to upgrade software’ select ‘YES’
 New software will now be loaded onto the console, do not touch any keys,
encoders or faders during this process.
 Once complete the console will then boot back into MagicQ again and start
expanding the updated heads library that is included with the software update.
