How to identify MQ100 Hardware Versions
| Product | Max No Uni's | Direct DMX Ports | Installer |
| Expert | 18 (note older console between 6-12) | 2 (if I/O Card fitted) | cde |
| Pro | 18 | 4 | cde |
| Pro2010 | 32 | 4 | cdx |
| Pro-E | 12 | 4 | cdc |
| Pro2014 | 64 | 4 | cdc |
Note that there will be some expert consoles in the field which use the .cde image and report as an Expert, BUT will have the Pro2010 processor. For these customers the SSD can be changed to a Pro2010 .cdx image (hard drive upgrade) for customers wishing to upgrade past 1.6.1.7 with Pro/Expert processors and full console upgrade is not their option.
