Windows 7, 8, and 10 will automatically install drivers, no need for additional drivers or install CD's (no CD included). Drivers available for download for all versions of Windows! Once the drivers are installed this cable will present itself as a standard COM port to Windows. From there configure and use your lighting software (not included) as you normally would.

FTDI DMX USB works with Artemis, ADJ, Chauvet and Omnisistem
I was looking for a cost effective FTDI based DMX controller for use with Artemis SBS. Other attempts to use uDMX didn't work with Artemis Bridge Tools so I was very happy to receive this product and found it worked plug and play (it is advised that the latest FTDI VP driver be downloaded and installed). I'm new to DMX so it took a while to figure out how the different units I procured worked: ADJ MEGA PAR PROFILE, CHAUVET COLORStrip Mini, and Omnisistem DF-V6 all work perfectly with a direct connection to the USB to DMX Interface cable once I figured out which channels did what (MEGA PAR 3CH, COLORStrip, 4CH, Omnisistem 1CH). You'll have to configure your Universe and scenes based on your own setup. For newbies this means that although the device itself may is PnP, your light setup will require manual configuration. If you're planning on doing an Artemis SBS config I highly recommend the excellent Artemis Bridge Tools to save the headache of different xml files and device configurations.I still haven't been able to get the devices to work in a daisy chain fashion. This may be my own lack of knowledge of the cheap DMX XLR cables I bought from eBay.

Doesn't work with QLC+
I bought this USB DMX controller to use with one of my mobile lighting setups. I already had a much more expensive ENTEC USB Pro DMX controller, but I thought this would be nicer since I didn't need to have a separate 5 pin to 3pin dmx cable. Unfortunately it doesn't work with QLC+.QLC+ recognized the device and set it up as a FTDI DMX output, but the lights wouldn't respond.

sorry this item sucks.
I have worked for three days to try and get this little dongle to output from freestyler. It does not work. The websites suggested on the very unhelpful sheet sent with the item don't work. I downloaded drivers from different sites and finally got a signal that it is working properly, but the program Freestyler does not even have a set up for this interface. I guess I'll pay the big buck and buy an Entec...

Excellent USB/DMX interface.
Interface downloads drivers automatically. Construction is excellent. DMX part made out of what appears to be alloy and great connection to DMX fixtures or other cables. Interface has LED that light up with connection and a plus!!Great product. Recommend highly!

My hardware dmx controller works just fine with my lights
Spent about 3 hours going back and forth between drivers, and different programs, and I've come to the conclusion I either have a dud, or something is way off. My hardware dmx controller works just fine with my lights, but after trying about 5 different dmx programs, I've concluded this usb wire isn't differentiating channels. Will be returning unless I can find a way to contact their support.

Getting what you pay for
It's what you'll get for the price. I found out that I'll end up needing another USB DMX interface for what I'm using.
