Nomad Dongle Upgrade process

Hi All,

Has anyone upgraded a Nomad dongle from 256 to 512 outputs? what is the process (obviously i purchase the upgrade from a reputable dealer). Is it a physical kit that gets sent out or is it a digital process?

Regards,

Parents

It's a digital code that gets sent. In the shell of ETCNomad, there is an "Upgrade Console" option that lets you enter the upgrade code there. Keep in mind you need an actual ETCNomad dongle (which it sounds like you have) - the old client dongles (which are larger purple dongles) are locked at 256.

Thanks!

No problem! I should have mentioned that the dealer is going to ask for a few pieces of information (serial number (located on a tag on the dongle) and console ID of the dongle (located on the tag OR in the upgrade console function in the shell)). They'll need these two bits of information for the order. :)

Hi Corey....actually i didnt even check there.....I had gone to settings and noted the Computer Id was the Old dongle.....and wanted a new code...so assumed it wasnt. Have checked Both puters now. One i reloaded Software and yes its at the 1024 in about...and the other puter all i did was plug in dongle and it says 1024 in about. does that mean there is nothing else for me to do now.

You could optionally spend $8k for the ion and get two outputs to work without a license.

Here is the full Equipment break down and comparison. With Nomad. $1200, Programme Wing $4200, 2 x 10 Fader WIng $950, All in one Puter $600, and Full Multi Touch Monitor $420. Total $7370. With the Ion it would $8K pluss monitors and Fader wing. So Nomad set up does work out cheaper and more portable. Its just a Little bothersome...cause i Titan Mobile as well....Dongle for one Uni is $200, and A Titan Mobile programmer with 10 faders is $4K. and u get 4 uni.

I don't think that a dedicated Nomad rig is actually more portable than an Ion. Both systems need two monitors, a programming surface (Ion or Wing--and the wing is roughly the same volume as the Ion) and fader wings. With nomad you still need a computer (which it sounds like you're using an all in one for), and don't forget about all the power bricks and adapters. But I'd be curious to see your road case setup.

Nomad is definitely more portable if you're already traveling with a laptop. And it's definitely cheaper if you already own a computer.

its the flexibility of options Nomad gives you. More portable as in Laptop can go in a napsack...and Wing goes in a case or bag. With Ion, You have to either travel with or spec Monitor/s to be at venue. With nomad...I dont need a second monitor, but can have the option. With the all in one, I have acustom Made case for it and the Programme wing to go into for travelling. The Fader wing pops into my Napsack. If i feel i need the second monitor i spec it at venue. would post pic...if i could figure out how

The All in one only has a back stand....so folds flat and is essentially a big Tablet. Goes in padded case under Programmer. can add a thrid Monitor if i want to spoil myself. but a bunch of Navigation Macros for snapshots makes it not necessary. Same when im using just the Laptop or All in one.
