Freestyler and Enttec Pro Mk2
Posted: 05 Mar 2016, 15:15
Hi.
I am currently using Freestyler with a Velleman K8062 to develop my DMX lightashow and I have already found it is not up to the job - lagging on Tap Sync, and not all fixtures (even of the same type) changing colour at exactly the same time. I read on here that this is because the K8062 is just too slow to be useful.
I am currently using all DMX addresses up to 176 and that is without my lasers connected yet. I also have 12x SL-Q8 Parcans to add
So I am looking for a better, faster interface.
This one caught my eye - Enttec Pro Mk2
http://www.enttec.com/index.php?main_me ... s&pn=70314
It says Freestyler supports the advanced features of the Pro Mk2
I notice the Pro Mk2 is 1024 channels - Seeing as Freestyler can work with two Universes does this mean I can use all 1024 channels with one Pro Mk2 (as two separate universes)?
The Pro Mk2 says it has a standalone mode for 512 channel shows - does this work with freestyler shows and how do I load them into the Pro Mk2?
If it does then this interface would seem to be worth the money. Otherwise is there a cheaper option that is just as fast (no lag)
Cheers
