How to transmit to an Enttec Open DMX device

Post by Dave Brown [admin] »


Show Buddy Active supports the Enttec Open DMX device (or any compatible 3rd party device).
  • Connect the Open DMX device to a free USB port
  • Click Universes...
  • Select Enttec Open DMX compatible box from the drop-down menu.
Then close the Configure Universes window, and Show Buddy Active will begin transmitting to the device.

Help! My Open DMX box is not working on my Mac.

If Show Buddy Active appears to connect to your Open DMX box but does not transmit data, try installing the D2xxHelper utility from the official FTDI website.
