The OPEN DMX USB is a DMX widget used to output
DMX from a computer. Simply connect it using it’s
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 own 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
