Enttec DMX USB DMXIS 70570 MAC/PC OS Lighting Controller Interface & Software (download only)

The DMXis box connects your DMX enabled lighting to a computer and the free program with it turns your computer into a light board.I saw the full potential of this program when I was working at a summer camp and we had spot lights, parcans, a moving light, and a light bar. All of these were DMX and we’re connected to a lighting system that no one new how to operate.I just plugged the DMX cable into DMXis and then the DMXis to my computer via USB and I could control each element of each light individually.You can program shows and scenes so you can keep different venues separate or you can separate your lighting control based on what is happening in the room or on stage.This product makes DMX lighting accessible.I haven’t even touched on how you can use this as a plug in or automate this thing so it will change by itself as your playing. It’s a powerful tool and it is absolutely worth the money.

I'm extremely happy with my purchase on this one --- especially for the price. We're driving lights for a band, and it's REALLY easy to operate. The setup and programming take a little time, and it would be nice if there was a little more online for youtube tutorials. If you are able to figure a few things out on your own, and can take tutorials, you can program some quite good looking patterns and movements.Couple limitations ---- it's not the most intuitive GUi interface, so it takes some poking around. Also, the way you have to make new banks is a little "manual" --- there doesn't seem to be a quick way to copy/paste specific settings/positions/colors from one scene to another. I also wish it was a bit easier to label individual control/sliders with custom names.However, it does do what it promises, and for the price it's an outstanding product. I really do recommend this for small venues, churches, bar bands and smaller theatrical productions.

I bought this through my church about 4 or 5 years ago to replace our old Chauvet Obey 40. We used the board for 10 PAR 38 cans and 2 PAR 64 cans hooked up to dimmer packs. We later added 4 Venue PAR 64 LED lights and four ADJ wash panels, and programming the Obey was a huge pain in the butt.When we got this, it was a world of difference. Set up was easy, simply install the software and plug it in via USB. You can set multiple different light types that automatically label the channels, for up to 512 channels. Programming is super easy: just set the lights, set the fade duration, and save it to the bank. Operation is easy as well: you can set different "shows" for different types of events, and each show has a list of "scenes" you've created and stored. You can change the order of scenes and have them auto rotate if you wish.Overall, we're very pleased with the product, and it would be a great addition to any DJ, church, or club's arsenal.

The media could not be loaded. There is a bit of a learning curve, as with all software. But DMXIS is a full universe of DMX control, and it's quite intuitive. Especially if you've programmed DMX lights with analog light boards in the past. It has many advantages over most small analog DMX boards, without spending a fortune. Besides having backup ability for your light shows, enjoy having labels for each fixture and each channel's function while programming, or while operating them during live performances. You can allocate as many DMX channels as your fixtures need, instead of the number your analog board allows. You can build as many "labeled" banks, preset/scenes, or chases as you'll likely ever require. When you can apply channel masks, fixture macros, sound activating light triggers, or assignable special effect oscillators wherever you desire to individual DMX channels, then DMXIS's capabilities are hard to deny. Unless of course, you have thousands of dollars to invest in the lighting consoles that normally have these features. Best budget DMX light controller option available, in my opinion. If you're a DJ who wants to control DMX lights for set music tracks, or a live band use click or backing tracks, consider DMXIS companion software ShowBuddy Setlist to totally automate your light shows.

I bought this to use as a plug-in for Ableton, and after downloading the software it was not visible to Ableton in any way. I could open DMXIS independently, and as a standalone it works ok. But it never worked with Ableton for me and customer support was worthless. Instead of actually trying to help, they'd simply state that it works for them. It should be noted that I can run ADJ MyDMX and Lightkey just fine in Ableton. I'm familiar with using Ableton to control lights. This did not work for me, though others state it works just fine for them. If support had stepped up and actually tried to help, that would have been nice. But as is stands right now, this is completely useless to me. I've gone back to the glitchiness of MyDMX for now (which this was meant to replace).

This is a great little product. I had no issues getting it up and running on my computer system and integrated with my lights. The ability to go into their web interface and create fixtures that you can import into the system worked really well and is pretty easy to accomplish. I found the footswitch feature and the ability to trigger off of midi events very helpful as well. I was even able to get my Line 6 FBV Express MKII pedal hooked up through the computer and have it control various features of the tool.I recommend this product!

Very good. Easy to install and was able to start off for a show with very less knowledge.Started off with its own Software as standalone.Next try is to integrate with Abelton..
