DMX control is usually achieved with a DMX console, similar to an audio board, or with DMX software on which a show can be recorded and scenes can be built and edited. This software is connected with a DMX USB interface that converts USB output to DMX output. Enttec Open Dmx USB (not recommended) Enttec USB DMX Pro (recommended) Dmx4all.de mini/nano usb dmx device. SOH.CZ USB-DMX512 and DMX PIPE Artnet device (first found universe automatically connected). Enttec ODE (recommended) The benefits of the pro version over the free version: - save/load to file - dmx patchbay. Send DMX patterns or use Faders to test DMX Output; Supports Art-Net to DMX; Standalone mode supports Art-Net recording for Pixie Driver and Pro Mk2; Test DMX Receive on supported devices; Change Settings on your ENTTEC USB devices; Downloads.

As I wrote, direct USB to DMX pigtail might be fine, but dot2 must recognize it to give you free DMX Universe 1 parameters. But it is only software, so the free Universe 1 is given via ethernet card of your PC/laptop, either inbuilt one or external. I have no info about USB and it is 99% wrong idea, because there must be driver and other.

This documents the additional message types added to the EnttecDMX USB Pro protocol to support multiple device types. As the number of devices supporting the protocol grows, it becomes difficult for software like OLA to differentiate the device types. The Device Manufacturer & Device Name messages allow the host software to determine the device and know which set of messages it supports.

USB Serial Number
Enttec USB Pro devices have only started programming the serial numbers recently (>2008?).When using the standard USB Serial drivers on Mac & Linux, the host application doesn't have access to the serial numbers. This would require us to write our own USB drivers using libusb to expose this information.

Some devices don't support the Set Widget Parameters message so this isn't an option. Also it suffers from the bootstrapping issue, we need to know what device it is before we can write the information about what device it is...
Device Manufacturer, Label = 77, no data
This message requests the device manufacturer information from the widget. The response is of the form:
| Size in Bytes | Description |
|---|---|
| 2 | ESTA ID, Least significant byte first |
| 32 | Up to 32 bytes containing the manufacturer name. Not null terminated. |
Device Name, Label = 78, no data
This message requests the device name information from the widget. The response is of the form:
| Size in Bytes | Description |
|---|---|
| 2 | Device Type ID, Manufacturer assigned. Least significant byte first. |
| 32 | Up to 32 bytes containing the device type. Not null terminated. |
