Product details
In use, this interface bridges the computer and the lighting fixtures. Connected via USB, it converts the signal to DMX512 (via RS485) and outputs it through an XLR connector to join your chain of devices: LED spotlights, moving heads, PAR cans, and effect machines. You then program scenes and chase sequences using lighting software. It is based on an FTDI FT232RL chip, ensuring stability and broad compatibility. It works with major DMX software — Freestyler (free), Lightkey, Luminair, etc. — on Windows, macOS, and Android. Important: the driver and software are not included; they can be downloaded for free (FTDI for the driver, the publisher's website for the software, e.g., freestylerdmx.be). Available in several lengths (0.5 to 5 m). Get ready for stage lighting controlled from your computer, provided you install the driver and software.
