I'm new to the computer run dmx arena. I just bought the Enttec DMXIS system with Show Buddy. I watched a demo on YouTube featuring my system with Capture Polar. I searched the web, looked at many posts on your site and haven't found an answer. I downloaded the student version to try out, it seems to work fine within itself. What do I need to do to use the DMXIS software with Capture? Thank you very much for your time.

Hi,
The DMXIS device outputs DMX and the matching control software doesn't output ArtNet. So, you would need to use some kind of additional hardware to get the DMX output back into the computer, such as a DMX to ArtNet converter or the EntTec DMX USB Pro.

im trying to make sure im getting this .. but what your saying is that
to be able to use dmxis with capture .. i need to convert the dmx signal coming from the dmxis software which goes to the dmxis hardware... and send it to something like enttec ODE.. which converts it to artnet and then send it back to the computer via ethernet ?
so if that works and i program the shows in capture do i then send it through dmxis, into the ODE... then to the light rig?
..im not even sure im asking this correctly .. thank you in advance :)

Hi,
To be honest, DMXIS and the accompanying software isn't really made for this. That is why the solution is to "steal back" the DMX output from the DMXIS back into the computer again using another interface (using an ArtNet DMX->Ethernet converter or an EntTec DMX USB Pro which takes the DMX straight into the computer over USB).
So; DMXIS Software -> DMXIS Hardware -> DMX Cable -> Back into the computer.
