DMXIS HARDWARE INTERFACE
The DMXIS hardware interface is a professional standard USB-DMX converter, capable of
transmitting a full universe (512 channels) of DMX-512 data at full 40 Hz frame rate.
An on-board microprocessor performs all the DMX frame buffering – in other words, the
interface itself is responsible for generating a steady and reliable DMX data stream. This is
far more reliable than some cheaper USB-DMX devices which rely on your computer to
generate the data.
To protect your computer from unintentional electrical surges (for example, if someone
were to foolishly plug a phantom-powered mic cable into your interface) the DMXIS
interface has full 1500V data and power isolation.
FIRMWARE UPGRADES
The interface firmware can easily be upgraded should any bug fixes or enhancements be
introduced. (If you gave us permission to contact you by email when you unlocked your
DMXIS software, you will automatically receive an email notification any time a new
firmware release becomes available).
USB POWER REQUIREMENTS
The DMXIS hardware interface is powered directly from your computer’s USB port.
If you find that your computer cannot provide sufficient power to the interface, we
recommend you connect the DMXIS interface via an external powered USB hub.
