MultiFace™-UW1 USB DMX Interface

The MULTIFACE™-UW-1 is a USB-to-DMX interface for professionals. As such, it adds two key advantages to generic USB/DMX interfaces/ dongles. One being the MCU-based frame buffer which makes sure that regardless of USB transfer rates or bus activity the DMX signal is always timed correctly and consistently. The other is full galvanic isolation of the DMX bus, making sure your connected PC is protected at any time. The UW-1 allows for common unidirectional data traffic as well as for bidirectional data traffic, thus enabling RDM and software updates over DMX with suitable connected devices. An internal termination makes sure that the DMX-bus works reflection-free. The full metal housing and the rubber bumper corners grant ruggedness. If absolute robust DMX single-universe DMX data is required, this is the choice.

• Single-universe (512 channels) USB-to-DMX interface
• Entirely bus-powered, no external power supply needed
• MCU-based frame buffer for consistent and correctly timed DMX output
• Galvanic isolation of both power and data lines
