Enttec Pro Driver Update - Windows
The options to use 3rd party interfaces have now been removed from our software.
ChamSys are unable to offer support for these interfaces.
We recommend our plug & play MagicDMX Interfaces. . This article below is now out of date but we are leaving it for information purposes
Windows 10 and Enttec Pro - if you have upgraded to Win 10 and/or have not disabled Windows updates and Windows has reset your drivers to the default.
To get the Enttec working to output with MagicQ, you need to:
- Go to Windows Device Manager, locate the Enttec Pro device (it may show as a serial converter), Right click and Select 'update driver software.'
- Select 'browse my computer for driver software', then select 'let me pick from a list of device drivers on this computer.'
- On the next screen select the ENTTEC DEVICE (SCREEN SHOT SHOWS OPTION IF YOU ARE INSTALLING A PC WING COMPACT) then 'Have Disk' and navigate to the C:// Program files/ChamSys ltd/MagicQ PC /MagicQ Wing Drivers/FTDI/chamsys.inf.
If you do not completely disable Windows Updates then the issue will recur as Windows will install newer, but non working drivers.
If the problem persists - a sure fire solution is to purchase one of our MagicDMX USB to DMX dongles at www.magicdmx.com
