Description

Enttec Open DMX USB 70303, 1 Universe Lighting Interface – Entry Level [Open Box]

The Enttec Open DMX USB 70303 offers a compact DMX solution that easily outputs DMX from a computer. To get started, simply connect it through its USB 2.0 Type B port and launch your compatible software—no need for an external power supply.

Moreover, the single Female 5-Pin DMX XLR output lets you control up to 512 channels (1 Universe) of DMX. You can do this using a wide range of compatible third-party software or by developing your own custom application with ENTTEC’s OPEN DMX USB API.

Additionally, your system detects the device as a USB Serial Device or virtual COM Port, depending on the FTDI driver you install. This setup ensures smooth integration across different platforms.

Unlike other DMX output devices that depend on internal processors, the Open DMX USB relies on your computer’s processor to handle output directly. Therefore, if you need features like frame buffering or built-in microprocessors to manage output more efficiently, you should consider ENTTEC’s DMX USB PRO or DMX USB PRO Mk2 as more advanced alternatives.

In summary, the Open DMX USB gives hobbyists and developers a straightforward, budget-friendly DMX interface without the added features or protection that ENTTEC’s higher-end models provide.
