Shed Light on Things the Easy Way With an Enttec USB DMX Interface
USB-DMX512-PRO Interface - EUROLITE - Steinigke Showtechnic GmbH. Software for USB-DMX512 module and DMX PIPE Music Visualization. The program is designed for controlling lights and other electronics by DMX512. The pro widget unlike it's little brother (The Open DMX USB) contains a microprocessor (ATMEGA88) responsible for framing and transmission, or reception of dmx. Also it's USB interface is a FTDI FT245BM, so VCP (virtual com port) drivers make programming easy as opening a serial port and sending/receiving!
EUROLITE USB-DMX512 PRO Interface MK2. (MAC) Output of 512 DMX channels; Integrated CPU for steady DMX output. Including USB A/B cable 0.5 m; PC driver. So I hooked the device up to my Mac, fired up QLC+ and cautiously peeked in the Input / Output section - and in the device list there was a USB-DMX Eurolite output-only device which hasn't been there before with the device disconnected.
A USB to DMX interface with lighting systems creates a computer connection minus the need for any elaborate device setups.

Is the Enttec USB DMX plug-in workable on different computers?As long as there is a compatible input port, the plug-in adapter should work without any problems. The device itself does not perform any lighting commands, though. Users must install the appropriate lighting software. The software is intended to execute the same functions as a lighting console. The plug-in does, however, need to be compatible with a particular operating system. Make sure the adapter matches with the current OS on the computer. As for computers, review the product description to ensure the USB/DMX unit fits with either or both of your PC or MAC computers.
What do the letters in Enttec USB DMX stand for?Devices and systems connect when the cords present compatibility with the intended port. An Enttec USB DMX interface supports connected devices that don't naturally connect due to port limitations. The lettered ports associated with this particular interface are listed here:
- DMX: The letters stand for 'digital multiplex.' DMX/DMX12 technology focuses on operating stage lighting and other effects. A DMX cable is a compatible cord intended for hooking a lighting control console with lights.
- USB: The letters stand for 'universal serial bus.' The prime purpose of a USB involves connecting external devices to a computer. Once connected, the device may be accessed or controlled in some way from the computer.

What is the 1500 V full isolation interface feature?A tremendous amount of power may flow through the interface device to connect the computer and the lighting console. The computer's USB cord runs the risk of experiencing a power surge or increase in voltage. The 1500 V full isolation feature presents an 'isolation barrier.' A computer ends up protected from surges when this 'full isolation' feature exists on the interface. Examine the USB DMX interfaces sold on eBay to determine the levels of full isolation protection available.
