Hey I was wondering if anyone would recommend some hardware that can be hooked up to a computer via USB and then be hooked up to DMX for LED, gel changers, via control through the computer.
Any brands, suggestions???
Thanks

There are no products, so far as I am aware, that will allow you to output DMX data from an ETC Off-Line Editor. I have used it with the ChamSys software as well as LightJockey and a few other pieces for one-offs.
Oh I don't mean from ETC offline editor
I mean any brands/manufacturers or anything that make the hardware for USB-DMX that are recommended or known.
And as a second part of the question or a follow up one could say.
What are some software for the computer to use with that DMX-USB hardware.
Awesome thanks. I'll check these out
Hi John-
I think it's fair enough to plug our product on our own forum, so I will - please don't rule out the SmartFade ML along with SmartSoft on the PC/Mac. This will give you much better "hands-on" control of both movers and conventionals than a software-only package. A lot of people find that having actual hardware with buttons, faders, and encoders allow you to keep your eyes where they should be - on the stage. I know I do.
Once you've factored in the cost of a high-spec dedicated PC and a USB-DMX dongle, you may find that a SFML makes a lot of sense. But we'll leave that to you to decide.
Hope that helps-
