DMX USB input/output plugin
1 Introduction
The DMX USB plugin supports a variety of FTDI-based USB-to-DMX devices:
DMXKing USB DMX512-A
DMXKing ultraDMX micro
DMXKing ultraDMX Pro
Enttec DMXUSB Open
Enttec DMXUSB Pro
Enttec DMX USB PRO Mk2
DMX4ALL USB-DMX STAGE-PROFI MK2
FTDI USBCOM 485+
2 Configuration
DMX USB devices should be automatically detected from QLC+ and displayed in the
input/output panels list.
If for some reason the auto-detection fails, you can "force" the type of your DMX USB adapter
manually.
Click on the name of your device and open the configuration dialog by clicking on the icon
on the bottom-right side of the panel.
You will see a list of DMX USB devices currently connected to your computer. Each one has a
drop down menu where you can force the device type.
Here's the meaning of each one:
Pro TX: Enttec USB DMX Pro or most of the DMXKing devices in transmit (output) mode
Open TX: Enttec USB DMX Open (output only)
Pro RX: Enttec USB DMX Pro in receive (input) mode
Pro Mk2: Enttec USB DMX Pro Mk2 - 2 outputs and 1 input available
Ultra Pro Tx: DMXKing ultraDMX Pro output.
DMX4ALL: DMX4ALL USB-DMX STAGE-PROFI MK2
3 Requirements
2.1 Linux
On all Linux distributions, you need to install libftdi. If you install QLC+ with the Ubuntu Software
Center or some other automatic installer tool, this library will be installed automatically for you.
2.2 Mac OS X
On the Apple Mac OS X, you don't need any drivers at all since QLC+ uses the OS X native USB
interface. Installing the D2XX drivers should cause no harm, but DO NOT INSTALL VCP drivers
as they will definitely interfere with QLC+. If you have previously installed the VCP drivers,
consult the FTDI installation guides on how to uninstall them.
