Question, ENTTEC vs DASLIGHT5 vs all together

Post by Petr_C64 »

Hello,

After I prepared my whole show in DASLIGHT5 I found out that according to all the information from the internet I probably won't be able to control it with my ENTTEC PRO.

I can understand and understand why , so I would like to ask what is the ideal solution for me when I use a PC rather than a console ( but I can have it of course ) and I need 512 channels via DMX.

Please recommend something :) Thank you

Hello,

It is possible to use 3rd party Art-Net nodes with Daslight 5, however you will require both a valid license for both Daslight 5 AND Art-Net. There are a few potential solutions for you that I can suggest at varying price points if you want to proceed with Daslight 5, but it would be helpful first to know a few things:

- Do you need the Full or Express version of Daslight 5 (Express version limitations are MAX 4 scenes playing simultaneously, no Super Scenes, no Live Mixer)?

- Do you need to use the Entecc node, or would you be able to use a different device connected to the PC via USB cable?

Kind regards,
Will

Hey, Will,
I have to tell you straight up, after all my attempts with anything available, I'm a fan of DASLIGHT5.

After searching around I have found about the perfect solution. I want a simple DMX protocol ( art-net I understand is for larger projects ) and 1024 channels will be enough.

Although I recently bought an ENTTEC PRO, but then came across you guys, so I understand I don't need it now :) it was a quick investment :)

Will this solution be enough for me ? (I'm from the Czech Republic )

Thanks for the update, I'm planning my first gig in 2 months, I think time is starting to press me :)

Hello,

The DVC Gold device does indeed come with 1024 channels as standard as well as the full version of Daslight 5, so it seems that this should be an ideal solution for you!

Kind regards,
Will
