USB-DMX interfaces 512 channels
The USB standard defines a new type of serial-communication as well as a new type of connector. This
standard was introduced in 1997 and has been spreading ever since 1999.
It offers many advantages in comparison with former standards. For instance, it allows devices to be
directly powered via the USB port as well the simultaneous use of several devices at once. Plug and
play is also made possible.
The USB-DMX interface is a world's first innovation. It thoroughly respects the USB protocol
specification and DMX512 for output. It is directly powered via the USB port and controls all 512
potential channels of a DMX line. If the 512 channels are not sufficient, some software can run up to 10
USB interfaces simultaneously, i.e. 5,120 channels altogether.
