Supported USB DMX interfaces:​

info

The Enttec Open DMX USB is an unbuffered interface, which means it relies on the computer's CPU to generate the DMX signal. This makes it prone to timing issues, resulting in occasional DMX signal dropouts that cause lights to flicker. Therefore, we discourage using this specific interface in high stake situations and recommend a buffered interface instead (any other USB DMX interface on the list above, or any Art-Net node).

Fixture support​

  • Fixture profiles have the .sbf extension.
  • Active customer support for defining new or customizing fixtures.
  • Unique modulation parameter definition system, decoupled from hardware description.
  • Parameter categorization and modulation allows easy interchange of fixtures.

Plugins​

  • Comes with 3 basic instruments and 3 effects that can be combined in a modular way for a wide variety of results.
  • Plugin SDK (Beam SDK): create your own instruments tailored for specific setups and fixtures.
