Description
The DMX USB Pro MK2 builds on the functionality of the original DMX USB Pro to provide even more functionality in a smaller footprint.
Introducing the new industry standard DMX/USB interface. The DMX USB Pro MK2 can control up to 1024 DMX channels or receive them through one simple USB 2.0 connection. It interacts with a broad array of supported 3 rd party commercial and free software running on either PCs or Macs. The Pro MK2 is fully backward compatible with any software that already works with the original DMX USB Pro to support a single universe. In addition to doubling the channel capacity of the existing DMX USB Pro, the Pro MK2 introduces a new standalone playback function. Alongside it, you have the option to use physical MIDI when used in combination with the PRO2 DB15- the 3DMX+2MIDI breakout cable.
The DMX USB Pro MK2 also features an internal frame buffer for consistent DMX generation when outputting. This means it isn’t dependant on your PC’s processor to regulate a steady, reliable flow of data to your fixtures regardless of your PC’s workload. With industry standard-5 pin input and output connectors using the included breakout cable, you can plug your Pro MK2 directly into a fixture for quick on-site RDM analysis (in combination with 3 rd party software). With ENTTEC’s free Pro Manager software, a 1 universe DMX stream can be recorded using ArtNet and then imported into your Pro MK2 or directly through the Pro MK2’s DMX input port. This can be saved onto the USB Pro Mk2’s internal memory for infinite looping or for one-time playback following powerup.
Perfect for art installations, shop displays or any other space requiring up to 512 channels of reliable DMX playback. Each DMX port features 1500V full isolation for both Data and power lines. You can rest assured that your computer will be protected from any stray voltages and faults that may occur on the DMX line. Delays and dropouts are history, even under heavy use, thanks to a CPU six times faster than the previous generation. Its machined aluminium hardware and tough black anodised finish ensure the DMX USB Pro MK2 is a durable road warrior. Another great feature is the status and activity of the DMX USB Pro MK2 that can be viewed quickly using it’s RGB LED status indicator to show per-port the DMX / MIDI activity Standalone or if a connection error has been detected or if 3 rd party software has sent an unsupported command.
