First time poster,
New to MagicQ PC and the Entrec Open DMX, but according to an email I got when asking Chamsys how to connect them, the Enttec Open DMX is no longer supported by Magic Q PC. I was told I should just buy their dongle. Is this true or do they just want me to buy their dongle?
If it isn't true, can someone explain what I need to do? I can get the Open DMX to work with FreeStyler but I'd much rather use MagicQ. I can work with Freestyler if no other solutions are avalible.
I had a idea that if the Open DMX is no longer supported there could be a workaround. My idea is to have MagicQ output Art-Net to an app (on the same PC) that then converts the signal to DMX, however I know nothing about Art-Net. I do have a good handle on DMX. Does an app like this exist?
My applications for DMX controlled lighting vary. I DJ, run lighting for bands and other community events such as talent shows and school productions. Mostly I run 2 scanners and 4 LED pars.
Here is where it gets a bit sticky. Whatever solution you suggest must work on a ASUS Laptop running Windows 7, and work with the Enttec Open DMX dongle. Please don't suggest that I buy a new interface. I am planning on doing so in the future, but for now I'm using the Open DMX.
Sorry that was so wordy, I wasn't quite sure how to explain it all.
Thanks-
