Reliable and flexible
The DMX USB Pro Interface from renowned interface engineers Enttec is a budget-friendly solution to operate LEDs directly from a computer without the need for a lighting desk. This highly compatible tool has been tried and tested for years, working seamlessly with every standard operating system, and unlike some dongles, it also works in combination with a wide selection of lighting control applications. In contrast to the Enttec Open DMX USB Interface, an integrated processor allows fast responses here irrespective of what computer is used. The DMX USB Pro Interface is also RDM capable and additionally features a DMX input as well as reliable surge protection.

Lightning-fast with great connectivity
Users can control their LEDs by connecting the Enttec DMX USB Pro Interface to their computer via USB cable and outputting the lighting control signal from the interface's DMX output jack to the spotlights using a suitable DMX cable. This will work with any computer running Windows, Mac, or Linux operating systems, and free software for configuring the interface on a computer is available to download from the manufacturer's website. Additionally, the five-pin DMX jacks can be effortlessly connected to three-pin DMX cables using adapters, while an adapter cable from USB type A to USB 2.0 type B is already included in the scope of delivery. The interface also offers full isolation up to 1,500V, safeguarding the user's computer against potential surge damage.

Creating immersive LED light shows
The Enttec DMX USB Pro Interface was designed for both artists and technicians looking for a cost-effective and flexible way to control lighting shows from a computer. Using a laptop, entertainers and stand-up comedians can change their lighting scenes directly on stage, while theatre groups can use one of the numerous compatible programs to design individual scenes for their performances and then simply cycle through them during their gig, and mobile DJs can use this compact tool to create immersive experiences by synchronising visual effects and music. The Enttec DMX USB Pro Interface effortlessly demonstrates its sustainability and superior compatibility by seamlessly adapting to any new lighting control software or computer with a different operating system that the user might acquire.

About Enttec
Enttec's success story began in 1999, when Australian-born Nicolas Moreau undertook the task of operating stage lighting with simple computer tools. The result was the development of the world's first interface between computers and spotlights. Right from the start, special emphasis has been placed on the reliable quality of the components and, above all, ensuring state-of-the-art compatibility. On the one hand, the Enttec hardware was designed to always be recognised by every computer running one of the standard operating systems. On the other hand, the defined goal was to integrate numerous lighting control programmes, and a strong service orientation was added on top of that to provide quick support for amateurs and professionals alike. Enttec has since become one of the world's major players in the field of lighting technology.
Next-level compatibility
Once they get to the venue, the first thing for the user to do is hook their spotlights to the computer along with the interface, which in turn conveniently powers up via the USB connection. If the LEDs have three-pin connections, the user should also bring along a suitable adapter in order to connect the corresponding three-pin cables to the five-pin DMX jacks - the pro snake DMX Adapter M-F, for example. The extensive list of compatible lighting control applications include, for example, software like ArKaos, ChamSys, Martin M-PC, Freestyler, LightFactory, WYSIWYG, and Madrix. If required, the Enttec DMX USB Pro Interface can be kept up to date with the firmware updates that are regularly provided by the manufacturer.
