DMX send 

PRO-Manager can be used to test the output of the DMX USB Pro Mk2. The test output can be sent in the 

following ways: 

 

“Test Patterns” and select one of a the pre-programmed test patterns to test the DMX output   

 

“Live  Art-Net”  which  will  start  listening  for  an  Art-Net  Broadcast  though  the  loopback  IP  address 

(127.0.0.1). 

 

“From Faders” and drag the desired channels fader to test the DMX output. 

The  output  can  then  be verified  using  either  DMX  enabled 

equipment or by using a DMX tester  

While DMX is being output, the LED will blink to signify which 

DMX port is being used to output.  

DMX Send is not designed as a Lighting Control software, it’s 

designed  as  a  troubleshooting  tool.  After  testing,  PRO-

Manager will need to be closed, before opening the preferred 

lighting control software. The DMX USB Pro Mk2 will only be 

recognised by one software at a time, as the software latches 

onto the USB port.   

DMX receive 

This tab will show a snapshot of the DMX values received through the 5-Pin Male XLR. Refresh the window 

to see the updated values. 

 

Standalone mode 

The  standalone  mode  built  into  the  DMX  USB  Pro  Mk2  allows  the  recording  and  playback  of  a  DMX 

sequence/show.  

The DMX USB Pro Mk2 Standalone Mode is limited to 1 Universe only and can be configured using the PRO-

Manager software.  

Recordings can be made either by using the DMX USB Pro Mk2’s DMX input or Art-Net though the connected 

computers internal loopback IP address (127.0.0.1).  

The DMX USB Pro Mk2 only records the changing frames, to maximum the length of the recording. With 512 

channels (1 Universe) being recorded, with a frame rate of 40 fps with each frame being unique from the 

previous, the maximum record length will be 100 seconds. If the number of channels or unique frames per 

second are halved, this will double the maximum recording length. 

The playback of the Standalone sequence/show can be triggered from within Pro Manager or on Power Up 

of the DMX USB Pro Mk2  

The DMX USB Pro Mk2 draws its power from the USB connection. The DMX USB Pro Mk2 doesn’t require a 

computer connection during Standalone Playback. The DMX USB Pro Mk2 can be powered through a 5v USB 

power adaptor, allowing the DMX USB Pro Mk2 to be powered from the mains.
