Chauvet DMX-AN vs. ENTTEC ODE

The DMX-AN and ODE are both sACN/Art-net nodes that I like...but which one is right for you? In this video, I'll show some of the differences and which one you should choose.

Hi great video, I have noticed that in some of your videos on the Chauvet AN you have updated your firmware, I am trying to do this with a reset unit on a MacBook but cannot see a banner to do so like in later versions of the firmware, how did you do it?

[TheFloppyDiskNinja]

The ENTTEC is the obvious choice for me - have 2 of the units already and am keenly awaiting for their Version 3 to get more for the clubs I'm installing.

I don't believe NMU is event available to download anymore, or also not available for MacOS. I believe Enttec is pushing users to have to use the full EMU software just to do the auto discovery style config. So fallback is just connect it, work out what IP address its picked up, then configure through the web interface.

So I'm using a an-2 node. When I set up the ip address and that, when I put the node ip address into my browser it asks me to sign in. What does that mean? And sign in to what? Chrome, Windows, epic game?

the Chauvet DMX-AN2 works with ligthkey?

[matthewbarba]

Do the Obsidian Netron nodes have a software like the Entec for config? Or are they manual, like the Chauvet? Specifically thinking of the NP4.

We are currently set up with 2 universes at our church can we simply purchase 2 of these Entec ODE units be able to operate completely wireless ? Our main goal is to fire lighting cues from Ableton live. Using D Pro. Wasn’t sure if set up is the same for multiple universes. Thanks

No single piece of equipment has ever caused me so much anxiety as the AN. Finding this video was the greatest supposed answer till I got to the final screen before the web open to change the IP and a screen came up stating that it was not a secure site and needed my computers admin name and password which I entered to no avail. It still would not proceed to the web page and after weeks of research I still am not able to set up my DMX lighting system. What good is a tool that cannot be used. The frustration continues.

Dose the DMX-AN take DMX into laptop? Rather then like you show here laptop to DMX? I'm trying to program lights from ableton > DMXIS > DMX-AN > Ethernet back into laptop > Magic Viz
Any advice would be massively appreciated :)

Hi, can I use the the chauvet an2 in any software without buying a usb dmx interface? is it possible ?

[jonmcginty]

Been trying which feels like forever to setup my Enttec mk2 to my Airport express. Any guides on how to do so? I can never get to the "configure" point of the enttec to change the IP on it

[raggaroaringsound]

As a mobile dj, I was hoping to use one of these with an airport express. Will I have to reconfigure from one show to the next?

[cherrycake]

So if I use an Enttec on grand Ma 2 on PC do I need a Midi device as well or can I just control the MA 2 with the controls they give you on the screen

[bastien]

is the Chauvet DMX-AN compatible with sweetlight ?

[marcogiampa]

could I use the DMX-AN with ma2 on pc to output artnet? Would i need to reset the ip every time i go to a different venue

[danielclaxton]

is the DMX-AN what i need to run my lights with an iPad via the Luminair app? What is the best setup to be able to run my stage lights for a youth worship service with an ipad? Thanks
