To use it with some software, you have to setup the device, then use some software to create a network loop back into the USB device on your localhost and then convert something and do some other stuff and I lost all interest at this point because it became too hard and made my head hurt. The short story is that not every control manufacturer wants you to be able to use their software with a $75 (ex GST) dongle, so it doesn’t work with everything. My friend uses one when he borrows my ancient Mac 300s, and he loves it.īut it’s not without its drawbacks – the obvious one is compatibility. It’s a great little box and an amazingly affordable way for anyone of modest means (read students and magazine writers) to get a physical DMX interface attached to their computer.
Years ago I bought (and have since subsequently lost) one of the ENTTEC Open DMX USB widgets. The ODE PoE Mk2 is a simple thing, done really well. So it’s nice to see they haven’t forgotten their roots. Huge pixel mapping engines and the like, LED drivers, and all sorts of other stuff. The company has since evolved from what I call the “simple things done well” mantra of the early days to produce some pretty complicated and clever bits of kit, predominantly in the LED control and pixel mapping world. I’m sure I remember playing with moving lights operated from these units at my first ENTECH show as a young fellow. ENTTEC is quite a well-established company, with products like their DMX replay units having pretty decent heritage.
