Using the DMX USB PRO
Many software packages are available which use the DMX USB
PRO as a means to communicate with devices that control or emit
light.
• In output mode you can employ it to interface between a
lighting control program and the devices that it affects.
Those devices can be dimmers, stepper motors, another
computer program, intelligent lighting instruments, or any
DMX controlled devices., And the program doing the
controlling can emulate the look and feel of a light board or
have a more unconventional interface.
• It can also be used (thought not at the same time) in input
mode to listen to the DMX signal being put out by another
computer or light board. The DMX USB PRO will then
give access to that information to some program which
needs it to perform a useful task. That may be to control
video streams according to the DMX values coming in, to
emulate the appearance of a lighting rig for 3D
visualization, to listen to an external console’s output and
make adjustments to lighting levels accordingly, or other
features someone has yet to invent.
All of these options are available to you with the DMX USB PRO
and software you can download or purchase from a variety of
sources. See the list at the Enttec website, by clicking on Products,
