DMXIS is the award-winning lighting control package from db audioware and ENTTEC.
Specifically designed for live performers, DMXIS lets you create exciting automated light shows with your Mac OS® or Windows® based computer. You can control the light show manually from a simple footswitch, or for full hands-off automation, you can use the VST or Audio Unit plug-in to run the light show using an audio sequencer such as Ableton Live or Logic Audio.
DMXIS includes a professional standard USB-DMX hardware interface, designed by ENTTEC.

General Description
With DMXIS, you pre-program your entire light show in advance, letting you concentrate on your live performance. You can then manually step through the light show using a simple footswitch plugged into the DMXIS hardware interface. Or, if you use audio software such as Logic, Ableton Live, Cubase or Mixmeister in your live show, you can use the DMXIS plug-in (VST or Audio Unit) to run your lights directly from your audio software! This is incredibly effective, as your light show automatically synchronizes to the performance, even if you change tempo live.
Hardware
The DMXIS hardware interface is a professional standard USB-DMX converter, capable of transmitting a full universe (512 channels) of DMX-512 data at full 40 Hz frame rate. An on-board microprocessor performs all the DMX frame buffering – in other words, the interface itself is responsible for generating a steady and reliable DMX data stream. This is far more reliable than some cheaper USB-DMX devices which rely on your computer to generate the data. To protect your computer from unintentional electrical surges (for example, if someone were to foolishly plug a phantom-powered mic cable into your interface) the DMXIS interface has full 1500V data and power isolation.
*Footswitch not included.
**Plug-in is an optional feature, requires a host program which supports VST or Audio Unit plug-ins.
