DMX ports
Send and receive DMX using the DMX USB Pro Mk2 breakout cable. The DMX USB Pro Mk2 has the hardware capabilities
to output 2 Universes of DMX whilst also inputting 1 Universe of DMX at the same time.
Depending on how your 3rd party software of choice has implemented the DMX USB Pro Mk2 API, the hardware
capabilities may be limited.
DMX out
The DMX USB Pro Mk2 breakout cable feature two DMX Female ports to allow the DMX USB PRO Mk2 to control DMX
Lights connected to it via DMX512.
It is not necessary to have any connection to the DMX Out socket (or a breakout cable connected) while programming
the DMX USB PRO Mk2.
Some software used with the DMX USB PRO Mk2 is limited and may not support 2 full universes.
DMX in
The DMX USB Pro Mk2 breakout cable features one DMX Male port, which can be used for DMX In. This socket should
be connected to the DMX512 controller or console whose output is to be captured by the DMX USB PRO Mk2. Input is
captured and sent to the software interfacing with the DMX USB PRO Mk2.
Some software used with the DMX USB PRO Mk2 is limited and may not support DMX Input.
Although there is only one DMX Input (DMX1) socket in the breakout cable, the other socket (DMX2) can also be
used as an input by using a Gender Changer
Each port can only be used as input or output at any single time.
Both ports are isolated and separated, so one can be used to receive DMX input, and the other to output DMX, as
long as the software supports this operation.
