Correct me if i'm wrong,

But the enttec pro dmx does only support DMX in Or DMX out.

So if you want in and out, you will need a second one.

I can tell you one thing out of my own experience: you don't want to use the Velleman VM116/K8062 interface at all. Especially not when using quite a lot DMX channels (e.g. >100). The thing is way too slow. You might want to test if you experience the lack of speed/response at your setup, before it is too late. (do a full test with all lights on and running, as that makes a difference)
I've had situations where it took >500 msec between I pressed some override button that flashes a light and the actual flash. In fact, every communication took 500 msec...
Trust me, you don't want that. Search this forum for the VM116/K8062 interface when you want to read my investigation for this problem for it.
