Enttec DMX USB Pro
Details
At A Glance:
The DMX USB Pro is the industry standard DMX USB converter for DMX/RDM. Control your lights from PC or MacOS software.
The DMX USB PRO connects to a computer using a robust USB Type-B 2.0 connector and allows compatible software to either input or output DMX / RDM on MacOS, Windows or Linux computers.
The DMX USB PRO has industry standard XLR5 connectors and 1500V full isolation on both data and power lines to protect your computer from any stray voltages on the DMX line. Furthermore, it features an internal frame buffer for consistent DMX generation when outputting, meaning timing it isn’t dependent on your PC’s processor.
The DMX USB PRO is supported by a broad array of third-party software and allows users to integrate it into their own software projects using the DMX USB PRO’s developer API.
Use ENTTEC’s free EMU software to test, update and configure your DMX USB PRO. You can change the firmware to your exact requirements (RDM or NonRDM).
