DMX Hardware and Software

DMX converters and software form the foundation for anyone involved in lighting technology who wants complete control over lighting. These devices enable the conversion and processing of signals that control lighting effects in various environments—from clubs to large concerts. Compatibility is determined by the interface, supported protocol, operating system and number of devices you want to control.

DMX converters let you easily connect different lighting devices and ensure their synchronised operation. Software for controlling these converters allows you to set up and programme lighting scenes as you wish, which both professional lighting technicians and lighting enthusiasts will appreciate.

The interface and software must work together

• check the supported operating system and software version,
• check the physical connection to both the computer and lighting line,
• compare the number of DMX universes or channels stated by the manufacturer,
• find out whether the licence, drivers and required adapters are included.

Before buying, list the devices you want to control and how they are addressed. Do not automatically assume that software updates or a new system will be compatible; check this in the documentation for the specific interface.
