dsellers Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Firstly forgive me my inexperience in the field. I've loved lights from a very young age, I always wanted to do one of two things when I grew up IT or LightJock, unfortunately I picked IT however I still love effect lighting. I live in city centre Manchester and regularly have small parties where me and my friends meet up before we go out and paint the town red. I've bought a few lights and small smoke machine before now, however I'm determined to up the anti a little. I've just ordered a couple of Acme Winner cheap and nasty scanners, now I know these have DMX control and am also looking to connect these up to my PC. I've been playing with Martin LighJockey 2.0 and would love a cheap and nasty DMX PC interface to connect up my new lights with. I've seen this USB DMX interface linked below: http://www.dialsoundlight.co.uk/d-commerce/page1.html Does anybody know what software this will work with and if it's a good buy ?Alternatively any other software that is better and will do the job I'm after. Also is there an issue with converting 3 and 5 pin DMX leads? Thanks in advance everyone, I appreciate your expert opinions Darren Sellers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Do you really want to lug a PC around with you? You can buy a dedicated DMX scanner controller for around £130.Have a look around Thomann, for example Botex DC1216. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsellers Posted August 8, 2003 Author Share Posted August 8, 2003 The reason is I've already got the laptop and it's playing my MP3's, so it makes the perfect choice for me. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
