A good unit like enttec pro, or dmxking micro or pro with the ftdi chip in is there for exactly that reason.. The chip does the timings, not the laptop..romanoid wrote: Extra question, what people consider slow PC? It was mentioned in enttecs video about Open dmx and here as well... I am planing on dedicating my old laptop to this purpose only, 2ghz dualcore 4gb ram... Will it be considered slow for rendering dmx timings?
The only reason you would need a powerful PC is for 3d easyview visualiser if you wanted to see what your show looks like without actually setting up your real lights.
