Lightkey supports multiple DMX output options that allow you to connect your lighting software to your physical rig using USB or network-based protocols like Art-Net, sACN, and ESP-Net. Configuring the correct output method ensures stable communication between LightKey and your fixtures, and it's important to choose the right interface, especially for network protocols.

DMX Output Methods

• USB Output: Directly connects Lightkey to a supported USB-to-DMX interface.

• Art-Net & Streaming ACN: Enables output via network protocols, with options for unicast or multicast.

• Dedicated Network Interfaces: Avoid using shared interfaces (like your internet or audio network) to prevent interference.

Advanced Settings and Troubleshooting

• Protocol Conflicts: Some USB protocols require that only one USB protocol be active at a time.

• Settings Panel: Offers control over which DMX interfaces are active and lets you enable the correct one for your setup.
