Good, but not perfect....easy to use
I am a mobile DJ who uses lighting along with DMX control, mostly at weddings and similar events.
This dmx interface is very well made, solid, hard and the feeling when handled gives a real impression of quality.
Comes well and nicely packaged, with all the accessories in the box.
The software is very good, but it has its drawbacks. The connection with the tablet is almost always good, sometimes at the start you need to turn on the program a couple of times to establish the connection.
The operation of the program with LED lights and moving heads is good, everything is basically covered, even more than the basic functions. From colors, movements, blinding effects, blackout effects, dimmer, strobe, iris, prism, gobo .... you can even make a point / spot position for your moving heads, with the movement of your finger you can move your beam of light on the dance floor, to me it is especially useful for weddings for the first dance or for announcements .....
The great thing is that you can save 50 scenes, everything you need for your performance during the evening, for LED PAR lights and moving heads .... I only use these two types of lighting for my needs .....
The pre-programmed movements are OK, but they are not great, the movements and speed can be controlled very well.
The colors on the LED pair of lighting can be controlled very well, the effects are very good even though you have a lot of lighting, the effects look very good.
Software can sometimes block, when you program scenes at home, it doesn't happen live with already programmed scenes.
All moving heads from the more expensive range work very good in the software and can be controlled within the software parameters. The DMX control problem exists with small cheaper moving heads where some cannot control all the movements within this software. These small problematic moving heads work normally and can be completely controlled within the more powerful software on the laptop.
PROS
easy to use
Interface is built to last, great quality
Great show without a lot of programming
Software cover all basic movements and effects
CONS
Sometimes you can't connect to the tablet right away, you need to restart the software
You need to have a good battery on tablet for 4 hours use
The software cannot control all the movements of some smaller and cheaper moving heads
For a slightly more serious and quality show you need to use more serious software on your laptop
I recommend this for anyone who doesn't want to mess with programming in some serious software, this is a small thing that makes a great show.

Good idea
I bought this unit to run my DMX lighting and at first found it very good and easy to use, but over time I found it lost the network at some very inconvenient moments and refused to log back in saying i was using the wrong password even though I have saved the password for it for automatic log in on my Ipad, somewhat annoying.
The next issue was that I when created my own scenes sometimes after a fair bit of setting up the look I was after when I pressed the preset button to save the scene it did not save all the information and the scene did not look like what I had set it up to be, again rather frustrating.
If you just want to plug in and play with what lighting shows that are built in then it works reasonable well but it seems to me if you want to invest the time to program more individual scenes and it does not save what you want it to then it does not fulfill what it says it will do.
I have switched over to an ADJ Airstream Bridge now which is far more labour intensive to program the scenes I want but well worth the effort in the end giving me the level of control I require from my Ipad flawlessly.
