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).
