Horizon DMX interface - looking to buy

[Guillaume]

Hi there,
I'm new to controlbooth, or navigation throughout forums,
so sorry in advance for my out of date questions or lack of knowledge in procedures!

I'm looking to buy a Horizon DMX Interface, old printer port or USB connected (USB would be ideal, as laptops with printer ports
are getting scarce).
Anyone out there with some tips ? I'm running out of options...

Is there any other USB DMX device that will work with the software ?

Thanks!

Welcome to CB! As an 8 year Horizon user myself, I know A LOT about it. There are no USB interfaces that work with it. Even if you get a USB to serial converter, you have to configure it funny to to get it to work (it is completely reliable one you do though). If you have a software key already, your best bet is to get a Path Port Node. Since they have long since stopped making Horizon gear, your options for new gear is very very limited. Feel free to PM me with any questions. I am happy to try and help.

FYI, I am moving this post to the Lighting Forum so it is posted correctly.
