 +====== Using QLC+ With USB_DMX To Control Lights ======
 +
 +
 +In this video, I go over how to control and program lights with DMX using the QLC+ software and uDMX adapters. The software is cross platform and works on Windows, Mac and Linux including small platforms like a Raspberry Pi!
 +
 +
 +====== Overview ======
 +
 +
 +I show you how to use the QLC+ software to control lights using DMX, as well as program scenes and shows. I discuss how DMX works, DMX channels, and how the configuration works on various lights.
 +
 +
 +====== Links ======
 +
 +
 +I won't link to any particular seller of these adapters, but doing a search for uDMX or DMX to USB on sites like AliExpress or eBay should bring adapters similar to the one I used.
 +
 +Watch my tutorial and demo video on the 15W RGBW light I used in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ph5mWGDw9QI
 +
 +Computer DMX control software: https://www.qlcplus.org/
 +(just grab a generic uDMX adapter that is supported) 
 +
 +Bigclive has done tons of testing on LED lights like this one as well as very thorough teardown and analysis of products like this. Check his channel out! https://www.youtube.com/user/bigclivedotcom
 +
 +
 +====== Production Remarks and Rants ======
 +
 +
 +- The intro and outro are out of focus part of the time, it's hard to focus a 1080p camera on the small preview monitor... And autofocus missed it as well...
 +
 +- I actually have proper audio now, it does clip sometimes, because I don't want to adjust the volume of each clip, so I used a baseline to normalize it.
 +
 +
 +====== Music ======
