uDMX – What is Artnet and do I need it?

If you are a uDMX user, you will almost definitely have heard of Artnet. If you are currently setting up your uDMX interface, you may not know what Artnet is, but your installation guide may ask you to run it. What is it, and do you actually need it?

uDMX – Getting it to actually work on Windows

uDMX is an interesting middle man between your computer and your DMX lighting fixtures. Unlike most DMX computer interfaces, uDMX is most often tiny. I purchased a cheap uDMX interface from eBay, and its width and height are smaller than a credit card, with a thickness of only over 1cm. Although the colour is a 1990’s cream, I was impressed by the size of it. Best of all, it was only £20 including shipping, a massive difference compared to the £139 of ADJ’s MyDMX.
