I purchased an ETC Nomad Gadet 2 DMX interface based on a recomendation from some lighting designer friends before I saw that you only recommend the Entec interfaces - Ii guess the Gadget 2 won’t work - correct? Thanks ---

Hi Terry, welcome to the forum! All supported USB DMX interfaces for Beam are listed on [this page](https://support.showsync.com/beam-for-live/features#connectivity), but it pretty much comes down to a few of Enntec’s USB devices. In general we like to recommend working with Art-Net nodes, as they have proven to be more reliable than USB devices, they aren’t proprietary, and small ones can even be cheaper than USB interfaces. The ETC Nomad Gadget 2 is proprietary hardware, so unfortunately it’s not possible for us to add support for it to Beam. ---

Hi Jean-Paul, Can you recommend some Art-Net node devices that are more reliable than the Enntec USB ones? Also can you recommend some lighting fixtures that would support them? I was considering getting the Rockville Motionstrip. Not sure if it supported the Art-Net mode. > **[Rockville MOTIONSTRIP Motorized Moving Head RGBW Color Strip Wash / Beam...](https://www.rockvilleaudio.com/motionstrip/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=%28ROI%29%20PMax%20-%20Pro%20Lighting&utm_id=21666339729&utm_content=&utm_term=&cmpid=&utm_campaign=%7Breplace%7D&sub2=&sub3=&sub4=&sub5=&sub6=21666339729&sub7=c&sub8=&sub9=x&sub10=&utm_source=Google&wbraid=CkAKCAjw3f_BBhAIEjAAJj08ZNc9TBZz3RlFEXbizgqiTCghAu_KRWu9G-HXTlR5OlBgCr7qcZQZegPXbGkaAjV4&gbraid=0AAAAAD9wRp5VWU_s-ISknvFbut_zqQSWf&ref_id=CjwKCAjw3f_BBhAPEiwAaA3K5PjX15cVBHupGQgaFbJKIVodQlS9VHIKUPjZ1mBDcFds_bhAeZaFNBoCpngQAvD_BwE&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21672810368&gbraid=0AAAAAD9wRp5VWU_s-ISknvFbut_zqQSWf&gclid=CjwKCAjw3f_BBhAPEiwAaA3K5PjX15cVBHupGQgaFbJKIVodQlS9VHIKUPjZ1mBDcFds_bhAeZaFNBoCpngQAvD_BwE)** > > Buy Rockville MOTIONSTRIP Motorized Moving Head RGBW Color Strip Wash/Beam Light Bar Manufacturer Direct with a 90 day money back guarantee including return shipping ---

Hi @Rishabhrajan, Any Art-Net node will do. Commonly available options include Enttec ODE MK3, Showtec NET-2/3 (or NET-2/5) Pocket and Chauvet DJ DMX-AN2. > Also can you recommend some lighting fixtures that would support them? > I was considering getting the Rockville Motionstrip. Not sure if it supported the Art-Net mode. While Art-Net nodes receive DMX data via ethernet, they by design always include DMX outputs, which means you can use them to control any fixture with a DMX input, including the Rockville fixture you mention. ---

Thanks for this. What are you thoughts on a setup that includes the BOTH 360 tubes which supports wireless DMX, used along with the ENTECC USB connected to the Donner wireless receiver? Is this going to be a reliable setup for real-time control? ---

I have never worked with BOTH 360 tubes, so I cannot say much about those specifically. From the creative point of view, pixel bars / tubes are a quite versatile type of fixture, see [this clip](https://www.instagram.com/p/CqVDNGCo8Qn/) for some ideas. I also don’t have direct experience with wireless DMX systems - I can imagine that can be handy in some situations, although wired DMX will always be more reliable. As far as the interface goes, Enttec DMX USB Pro is a solid interface, but when going for reliability, an Art-Net node is a better option, as those communicate via ethernet and have an external source of power.
