3. INSTALLING THE FTDI DRIVER

To use the USB DMX interface install the FTDI driver. Modern versions of Windows and OS X should do this automatically. Note

the FTDI driver isn’t required for pure Art-Net or sACN operations. eDMX2 PRO maximizes compatibility with existing software

using an FTDI ( www.ftdichip.com ) FT245RL device which provides USB 2.0 Full Speed interfacing. Drivers are available directly

from FTDI and in most cases the VCP (Virtual COM Port) driver should be used although both D2XX and VCP are installed by

default on Windows 10. The latest drivers are available from www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm

Please refer to the installation guides at www.ftdichip.com/Documents/InstallGuides.htm and note the process involved installs

2 devices, a USB serial device followed by USB virtual COM port. All required files are included in the driver installation file.

Mac OS X users. You do not need to install anything unless you’re running a really old OS version. Apple include their own FTDI

driver with the OS X distribution.

On occasion, you may wish to change the COM port number an eDMX2 PRO unit has been assigned by Windows. This can be

done through the Device Manager applet by right clicking on the USB Serial Port of interest (unplug/re-plug the unit and observe

if unsure which COM port) then select properties, Port Settings tab, Advanced button and finally choose the desired COM Port

Number.

USB DMX MODES

In USB DMX mode the eDMX2 PRO operates either standard or enhanced functionality depending on your software. Note

compatible software is required for enhanced mode.

eDMX2 PRO operating modes:

1x OUT

(standard)

Compatibility mode. Universe

[Port A] configured on Port A or

Port B.

Device behaves just like ENTTEC USB Pro so works with large existing

software base. Provides 1 isolated DMX output.

2x OUT splitter

(standard)

Compatibility mode. Universe

[Port A] configured on Port A &

Port B.

Device behaves just like ENTTEC USB Pro so works with large existing

software base. Provides 2 isolated DMX outputs of the same

universe.

1x IN

(standard)

Compatibility mode. Universe

[Port B] configured on Port B as

DMX IN.

Device behaves just like ENTTEC USB Pro so works with large existing

software base. Provides 1 isolated DMX input.

2x OUT, 2 universes

(enhanced)

Enhanced mode. Universe [Port

A] and [Port B] configured on

Port A & Port B respectively.

Equivalent to having 2x USB DMX units rolled into 1 enclosure and

USB connection. Requires compatible software.

1x OUT, 1x IN

(enhanced)

Enhanced mode. Universe [Port

A] configured on Port A DMX

OUT and Universe [Port B] on

Port B DMX IN.

Equivalent to having 2x USB DMX units rolled into 1 enclosure and

USB connection with both DMX OUT and DMX IN unit. Requires

compatible software.

Switching between Standard and Enhanced modes is fully automatic and determined by your lighting control software. If

enhanced mode DMX output commands are sent to the ultraDMX2 PRO it enters enhanced mode and conversely when

standard DMX output commands are sent standard mode is triggered.

Firmware v3.3 and below. Note if Port A and Port B are not configured to the appropriate Universes the USB DMX functionality

will not work. Only Universe 1 and Universe 2 are used for USB DMX.

Firmware v3.5+. Port A and Port B universe assignments are used for USB DMX. Even though there is no means to define which

universe is used for USB DMX it can sometimes be useful to control the underlying universe for merging other ArtNet and sACN

sources with USB.
