Dmx-usb interface

[benintights]

Where can I buy a dmx-usb interface cheaply? Online I've seen prices ranging from $1500 to about $500. Suggestions?

Thanks,

Someone out there will probably suggest you talk to me. I can design one, and plan to, but not until next year. The interface hardware is easy, but DMX-512 isn't one of the pre-assigned USB functions. That means I'll have to write, or hire a software guru to write, PC drivers for it. I've never even tried to write a Windoze API, so I've got a steep learning curve ahead of me and several other products to get out first. Until I get mine out, I don't know if there is one available anywhere for much under $500.

I'm in the UK and purchased through via a UK distributer but it originated at http://www.soundlight.de/
There are also others similar www.nicolaudie.com (French Company)

There must be similar products available in the US.
