Installing Streamer Utilities 

 

Installing Streamer Utilities  

Streamer Utilities is the Windows™ based companion software package for DMXStreamer that gives remote 

control of all DMXStreamer record, replay and scheduling functions. It also provides off-line schedule 
editing and enables updates to the unit's firmware (internal software).  

Streamer Utilities is provided in a Zip archive file on the Enttec CD-ROM supplied with your  
DMXStreamer. However, to be sure that you are using the latest revision, please visit the 

Downloads

 section 

of the Enttec website at www.enttec.com to get the current version.  

Installing Streamer Utilities is as simple as dragging the file 

streamer_util.exe

 out of its zip archive and into 

any folder of your choosing. In keeping with standard practice on Windows systems, we recommend that 
you create the folder "C:\Program Files\DMXStreamer" and drag 

streamer_util.exe 

into this folder.  

Putting a Streamer Utilities icon on the desktop  

To create an icon for Streamer Utilities on your desktop, right-click on the 

streamer_util.exe

 icon and select 

Send to 

then 

Desktop

.  

It is preferable to have the DMXStreamer linked to the computer before launching Streamer Utilities.  

Connecting Streamer Utilities to a DMXStreamer  

When Streamer Utilities is launched, it attempts to contact a DMXStreamer over the selected RS232 serial 

link. The first time Streamer Utilities is run, it tries to connect via COM 1 (communications port No. 1).  

To configure communications between Streamer Utilities and the DMXStreamer, select 

Setup

 from the 

main program menu and select which serial port is connected to the DMXStreamer.  

Streamer Utilities automatically manages the speed of the RS232 connection to optimise for maximum 

transfer speed and link reliability. If communications should become intermittent, it is advisable to switch 
the DMXStreamer off, then on again, to re-synchronize the link.  

Testing the RS232 link  

To confirm that there is a working data link to the DMXStreamer, select the 

Backup Show

 tab, then click 

on the 

Update List

 button.
