Shed Light on Things the Easy Way With an Enttec USB DMX Interface

A USB to DMX interface with lighting systems creates a computer connection minus the need for any elaborate device setups. Shine lights on your home movie video sessions or other events through hooking the Enttec USB DMX adapter to a computer. Choose from several affordable USB and DMX Enttec products when you shop on eBay.

As long as there is a compatible input port, the plug-in adapter should work without any problems. The device itself does not perform any lighting commands, though. Users must install the appropriate lighting software. The software is intended to execute the same functions as a lighting console. The plug-in does, however, need to be compatible with a particular operating system. Make sure the adapter matches with the current OS on the computer. As for computers, review the product description to ensure the USB/DMX unit fits with either or both of your PC or MAC computers.

Devices and systems connect when the cords present compatibility with the intended port. An Enttec USB DMX interface supports connected devices that don't naturally connect due to port limitations. The lettered ports associated with this particular interface are listed here:

• DMX: The letters stand for "digital multiplex." DMX/DMX12 technology focuses on operating stage lighting and other effects. A DMX cable is a compatible cord intended for hooking a lighting control console with lights.
• USB: The letters stand for "universal serial bus." The prime purpose of a USB involves connecting external devices to a computer. Once connected, the device may be accessed or controlled in some way from the computer.

USB to DMX interface with lighting software units are available on eBay. Not every item for sale comes with the software necessary for operations included. Software compatibility varies. The particular interface may work with both professional and free lighting software programs.

A tremendous amount of power may flow through the interface device to connect the computer and the lighting console. The computer's USB cord runs the risk of experiencing a power surge or increase in voltage. The 1500 V full isolation feature presents an "isolation barrier." A computer ends up protected from surges when this "full isolation" feature exists on the interface. Examine the USB DMX interfaces sold on eBay to determine the levels of full isolation protection available.
