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.

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

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

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
