Enttec Open DMX USB 70303 Lighting Interface & SIRS-E 70029 5P Male to 3P Female Adapter (Bundle)

Bells and whistles are great if you need them. If you don’t and you want maximum value from a minimum spend, that’s where the Open DMX USB comes in! This is the perfect device for those getting started with DMX lighting. Designed for the hobbyist, or users who do not require the added features and protection offered in other ENTTEC DMX USB products.

The OPEN DMX USB is a DMX widget used to output DMX from a computer. Simply connect it using its USB 2.0 Type B port and launch your compatible software.

The single Female 5 Pin DMX XLR output gives the ability to control 512 channels (1 Universe) of DMX through a range of compatible 3rd party software or your custom application using ENTTEC’s OPEN DMX USB’s API.

The OPEN DMX USB is discovered as a USB Serial Device or virtual COM Port dependent on the FTDI driver installed on your system.

The Open DMX USB’s output is processed directly on the computer’s processor. (For devices with frame buffers and microprocessors to structure an output, see the ENTTEC DMX USB PRO and DMX USB PRO Mk2).

Note: To use ENTTEC EMU you must be using a DMX USB Pro or DMX USB Pro Mk2. The Open DMX USB is not compatible with EMU.

This device is an amazing little package – but remember that it doesn’t do everything. If you’re looking for a device with opto-isolation, configurable frame rate and frame buffer, or are planning to use EMU (ENTTEC’s audio-lighting software) be sure to check out our DMX USB Pro and DMX USB Pro Mk2 devices.
