Hardware compatibility
SvetoMaster for Windows outputs DMX through USB interfaces and Ethernet gateways. This list separates built-in model support, compatibility through an industry-standard protocol, and hardware that is still being validated.
USB products often share the same FTDI or CH340 chip while speaking different DMX protocols. SvetoMaster may therefore show more than one choice for the same COM port. Select the entry that matches the protocol or model named below.
USB-DMX
USB output is one DMX universe per interface unless a device-specific row says otherwise.
Buffered USB interfaces using the standard ENTTEC Pro packet format.
Choose in SvetoMaster: Enttec Pro for the matching COM port.
Unbuffered FTDI/CH340 interfaces whose DMX timing is generated by the computer.
Choose in SvetoMaster: Open DMX or JMS USB2DMX PRO.
V-USB interfaces that accept frames through uDMX-compatible control transfers.
Tip: plug the interface straight into a USB port on the computer. If it disconnects, SvetoMaster reconnects automatically.
Interfaces used by Sunlite and Daslight, through the Nicolaudie Windows driver.
Known exception: SIUDI7A firmware 1.20 is detected but cannot be opened by the current manufacturer SDK.
DMXKING MAX-series USB. Their basic USB mode is ENTTEC Pro-compatible, but they connect as a standard USB serial port (CDC ACM) that the current build does not detect yet. Compatibility testing is underway; network models such as eDMX MAX can already be used over Art-Net and sACN.
Ethernet DMX
Network compatibility follows the published Art-Net and ANSI E1.31 protocols, so it is not tied to one USB chip or one enclosure.
Output to standards-compliant Art-Net nodes, with node discovery, network diagnostics and multi-universe addressing. SvetoMaster universe 1 is sent as Art-Net 00:0:0; some nodes label this address universe 0, others universe 1.
Examples: DMXKING eDMX MAX, ENTTEC ODE / DIN Ethergate / Storm, PKNIGHT and generic Art-Net-to-DMX nodes.
Output through multicast sACN / ANSI E1.31, including consecutive universes from a configurable base universe. Unicast sACN is not available yet.
Examples: DMXKING eDMX MAX and any gateway or receiver that accepts standard sACN data.
Scope
Continuous DMX512 output from SvetoMaster, reconnection handling, and diagnostics appropriate to the transport.
DMX input, RDM, firmware updates, and manufacturer-specific device configuration over USB.
A USB interface or COM port can normally be opened by only one lighting application. Close vendor utilities before connecting.
Your model is not listed?
If your interface uses one of the protocols above, it may already work even when its product name is not shown. Send the exact model, USB VID:PID or Art-Net node details, and the protocol documentation. We can add model-specific identification after validation.
