It seems that this interface consists of a USB-to-serial converter from FTDI-chip and a level converter,much like the Enttec [[Open DMX USB]]. That means it can either receive or transmit, that the timings of delay between frames and packets depends on the software and computer's performance. And there is no optical isolation.

On the good side, the list of software that support it is large, and it is relatively cheap compared to other DMX adapters with USB interface for both data and power.

A note by SOH Sound & Lights:

Interface DMX PIPE uses newer integrated circuit for communication with USB than Enttec Open USB DMX, but it is from the same manufacturer FTDI (Future Technology Device International Ltd.). 100% compatibility is ensured, because drivers are the same for both converters. All programs that support Enttec Open DMX USB will automatically work with DMX PIPE or USB-DMX512 Module. What is more, the converters DMX PIPE and USB-DMX512 Module [http://www.soh.cz/en/products/usb-dmx-module] allow using of licensed and patented version of [[DMX Music Visualization]]. Also along with the converters software like DMX512 PC Control, DMX Light Control [http://www.soh.cz/en/products/dmx-windows-ce] (for Windows CE, Smartphone and ARM4), LCD/DLP Effects Projector [http://www.soh.cz/en/products/dlp/lcd-effects-projector] and others is being developed.

DMX Music Visualization

88.102.80.231:

This software uses internationally patented technology for controlling lighting technology by audio signals (LTCA). It can cleverly control all of the lighting technology direcly by music. The most widespread DMX512 protocol is used to control the lighting technology. Version of Music Visualization that allows for controlling the first 10 DMX channels is available for download for free.

For Music Visualization to be fully functional any ordinary PC with a sound card and USB port is entirely sufficitent. Music analysis is done in the backround from any input or output (e.g. microphone input, line input or any application such as Windows Media Player, WinAmp and others). The software is primarily targeted at clubs, discos and live music. There is no need for any adjustments during the whole of music performance. The software can distinguish different music genres, styles and changes of tempo. Only good initial setting of the software and the configuration of the connected lighting technlogy is necessary for the variations in music to become visual. The control and the whole scene can be manually adjusted using for example DJ buttons or wireless controller.

Works with interfaces:

* [[DMX PIPE]]
* [[USB-DMX512 Module]]
* [[Open DMX USB]] (only free version)
* [[Art-Net]]
