If you don’t, you want maximum value from minimum spend. Review: Brainless - Ovviamente fantastica e più piccola di come me la immaginavo (6x4x4). Viene spedito anche un cavo usb. Piccolo appunto: bisogna ricordarsi che in quanto "brainless device" ha bisogno che in ingresso vengano mandati i dati già protocollati, quindi non è utilizzabile con un programma che manda dati grezzi (Max MSP ad esempio). Nel mio caso la soluzione è stata mandarle i dati da un software compatibile (QLC+), che a sua volta riceveva le istruzioni dal primo programma menzionato. Spero che questo commento possa evitare sorprese a qualche altro Max user! Review: Great Adapter - Works well, beware of the software compatibility. This adapter will work with the Open DMX protocol. Make sure the app you want to use can support Open DMX, we are a software business so we ended up needing to write our own piece of software to send out DMX from the Unity Game Engine. ## Features - Works with a wide range of software - Control DMX lighting from a PC or Laptop - 5pin DMX output - Small & lightweight design - USB input ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00O9RY664 | | Back Material | Acrylic | | Best Sellers Rank | #47,129 in Computers ( See Top 100 in Computers ) #353 in USB Computer Network Adapters | | Body Material | Aluminium | | Color Name | Blue | | Connector Type | USB Type Micro B, XLR5 Female, XLR5 Male | | Date First Available | 15 June 2016 | | Hardware Interface | Micro USB Type B | | Item Weight | 140 g | | Item model number | Open DMX USB | | Material Type | Aluminium | | Operating System | MacOS, Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows XP | | Product Dimensions | 6.3 x 3.99 x 4.01 cm; 140 g | | Voltage | 5 Volts (DC) | | Wattage | 1.5 watts | ## Images ![Enttec - Open DMX USB Dongle, USB to DMX interface, 512 ch, 1 universe - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ZiLJkfT0L.jpg) ![Enttec - Open DMX USB Dongle, USB to DMX interface, 512 ch, 1 universe - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SDybfR37L.jpg) ![Enttec - Open DMX USB Dongle, USB to DMX interface, 512 ch, 1 universe - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51FtaqzE+BL.jpg) ![Enttec - Open DMX USB Dongle, USB to DMX interface, 512 ch, 1 universe - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dvRc7JpbL.jpg) ![Enttec - Open DMX USB Dongle, USB to DMX interface, 512 ch, 1 universe - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/418siiRwNYL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: This only has one dmx out. how does this control multiple lights that will be working master mode? i'm using showxpress and new to dmx.** A: You will set your light to a dmx channel range 1-512. Do not use master mode on your lights as in most cases that dusables the dmx control that you are wanting. The dmx controller is output and your lights should have dmx in and a dmx out to next light. Also, make sure that the lights you have are dmx lights and not master/slave. You should have ether a dip switch or digital display to set the dmx channel. If you do not have ether then you will need a dmx switchpack to control the light with dmx. Hope this is helpful. **Q: How many lights will this control and what is a free software that does not require a license to use it?** A: It gives one universe of 512 channels. Depending on the number of channels each fixture takes will tell you how many units can be controlled. If you have a dimmer rack with one channel per light then you can control up to 512. If each unit takes up 13 channels you can have 39 fixtures plus a few channels left over. It won't work with Hog or MA but can probably work with the M-PC and other PC lighting consoles. The website has a list of compatible programs. Some of them are free. **Q: Is this compatible with the dmxis software?** A: This products is compatible with other open sourced pieces of software. Not Compatible with DMXIS, that is a closed sourced interface, and software. DMXIS Interface works with DMXIS software only. **Q: What is the max refresh rate?** A: Hello, Max output refresh rate is 40FPS² Regards ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brainless *by G***P on 15 October 2020* Ovviamente fantastica e più piccola di come me la immaginavo (6x4x4).

Originally I was having a gamesmaster control a lighting board and game software separately. I've not had any problems at all, and it's instantly improved the quality of the game, and ease of running it for our teams. Definitely using this for every project in future. ## Frequently Bought Together - Enttec Open DMX USB 70303 Lighting Interface - Open Source/Hardware Only - Entry Level Model - Cable Matters 2-Pack 5 Pin to 3 Pin DMX Lighting Cable - 6 Inches, 5Pin Male to 3Pin Female XLR/DMX Adapter Cable, Black - SiYear XLR Male 3 Pin to XLR Female 5 Pin & Female 3 Pin to Male 5 Pin Audio Cable, for Microphone DMX Stage Light Turnaround Etc（1Set / 2Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/282619383-enttec-open-dmx-usb-dongle-usb-to-dmx-interface-512](https://www.desertcart.be/products/282619383-enttec-open-dmx-usb-dongle-usb-to-dmx-interface-512) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-06-24*
