ChamSys supports 3
rd
party DMX dongles but cannot guarantee their performance. – these devices are
supported on Universe 1 only. Note that some of these devices rely on the PC to do the DMX framing and
therefore results may be unpredictable on some systems. Many of these devices are unable to transmit full
DMX frames at the full DMX refresh rate.
