DRIVER AND SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
USB standards define a new type of serial-communication as well as a new
type of connector. It was introduced in 1997 and has been spreading ever
since 1999. It offers many advantages in comparison with previous standards.
For example, it allows you to directly power some devices via a
connection-cable and interconnect several of them. Plug and Play is also
made possible.
Our USB-DMX interface is a world's innovation. It thoroughly respects the
USB protocol specifications and DMX512 for output. It is directly powered via
a USB port and controls all 512 potential channels of a DMX line.
USB / DMX and stand alone USB / DMX interfaces
The interfaces use DMX 512 protocol to pilot light-appliances. This protocol is
universal and offers many advantages, more specifically as it conveys much
information via a single cable. Interfaces have a 3-pin XLR-type output.
The stand alone USB / DMX 512 is equipped with an internal memory that
enables the user to operate in Stand Alone mode without any computer in
case of PC failure or any specific use.
USB installation
The USB interface is preset and ready to use. When using it for the first time,
it is necessary that the USB drivers should be installed. Actually, when first
installing them, the files required to use the interface will be installed in your
PC, whether you are using a laptop or a desktop computer.
In order to install the USB interface, just connect it to your PC even if it is
switched on. Your computer will automatically detect any new device and you
will be prompted to load the driver (via a Window wizard).
If you use Windows XP, this type of wizard will be displayed:
