unfortunately I personally only have the xfactor, but I use the 512 at my church. I am trying to remember to borrow another guy's 512 (that we discovered the 30 channel dmx doesn't work with, he has a MAC) and see if its a MAC issue and not a PC issue. I will get back to you as soon as I can test it out.
There are several different types of led tape controllers online. I go to Ebay and see whats out there. Everything I've used has been spot on.
Just a word of advice if you haven't dealt with the LED strips before. They are very fragile while mounting. If you nick the back or the sides, you very well might have nicked the PCB board and messed up the colors, trust me, I had to cut and solder many times. Like I said, though, its very cool for effects and the 5050s are bright.
