What else do I need?
An Interface
You’ll need a DMX > USB interface in order to connect lights to your computer, and there are plenty of flexible output options available to do that. ENTTEC’s proven DMX USB Pro hardware is the perfect device to output data directly from your computer for your audio to DMX setup using USB. EMU allows access to all configuration options within the DMX USB Pro including monitoring, firmware updates and in the case of the Pro Mk2, the ability to record standalone shows onto it from either a DMX or ArtNet source. Or you can expand your setup over a network using ENTTEC’s ODE Mk3. These devices offer full 1000V data and power isolation protection. For example, if someone were to foolishly plug a phantom-powered mic cable into your interface, this feature will work to protect your computer or network infrastructure from damage. If you already have your own ArtNet interface, you can use that too. And if you’re a DMXIS user, your existing breakout box will also do the trick.
