tvi675 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 tvi675 this is one probably best amied at you, I am looking at running this with magicq is this totally compatable and will be a plug and play job? The thomann one is marked as ArKaos because the ArKaos media server software (www.arkaos.net) supports the Enttec Pro as a DMX input. With regard to setup, you just need to install the drivers for it, I assume Enttec supply these somehow with the interface. Then in MagicQ go SETUP, VIEW DMX I/O and for universe 1 set Status = Enabled, Out Type = Enttec Pro. Regards, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_the_LD Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 How many channels of DMX do you need? If it's not that many then a cheap Vista dongle could be a potential candidate. An M1 and 128 channel dongle is listed at £525 from AC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEN Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 I am going to need up to 80 channels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljoshua Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I'd also recommend MagicQ, not used it on a Mac but rock-solid on Windows and Linux. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charl.ie Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Another option is Cuelux, which runs on the mac. It has a much smaller learning curve than MagicQ, but you'll need to buy their specific hardware to use it. You will also need a MIDI interface (they recommend some on their website). As a side note, does MagicQ support the CueCable (the USB-DMX interface for Cuelux)? The hardware seems very similar to the Open USB-DMX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossmck Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I'd vote for MagicQ too ... works great on a mac, and their PC Wings are excellent too. I've also used LimeLIGHT on Windows running in VMware, so it need not be Mac-only if you're willing to run virtualised OS (although I wouldn't do that as a permanent solution :D Cuelux also looks quite nice but I've never used it beyond tinkering with the demo as I don't have a DMX interface for that.
