If you'd like to learn more about the DMX Protocol and uses for it, a very good web site is DMX512-Online run by Ujjal Kar. There is also an official FAQ at  USITT.


4201-B

The 4201-B may be used in many different ways; we will assist you in getting your system set up and working.  We’ll even write simple macro files for you if needed.

USB connections to Mac OS X and Linux systems now work with no adaptors!  We recommend USB connections whenever possible.

The Model 4201-B may be controlled directly from any application or programming language on any machine that can talk to an RS-232 port.  The USB interface lets a Windows, OS-X, or Linux computer see the 4201-B as a normal RS-232 port, so no software changes are needed to use either the RS-232 port or the USB port on those systems.

The 4201-B allows setting a slower frame rate for use with low cost dimmers, if you have flickering problems try setting the frame rate to 20 (hex) using the “N” command.

4200, 4201, 4201a


These models have been replaced with the 4201-B. The 4201-B supports most of the functions of the 4200, 4201, and 4201a products but not all.  Most importantly, the SmartLight™ Theater Lighting Software from Edgeview Software LLC does not currently support the “B” version, please check with them for updates.
