Sweetlight BOX DMX-512 interface EOL

[niidi]

As I got noticed the Sweetlight BOX DMX-512 interface is end of life. Is there a replacement interface supporting DMX in and out?
As the SweetLight Software support DMX in are there any interfaces available supporting DMX in?

We are out of stock of interfaces with dmx input, until around Autumn season.
Sorry for this.

Any news when the new BOX DMX-512 interface (with DMX in and out) will be available now?

Small delay.
We plan now before the end of this year.

I have to choose anoterh vendor.

Small delay.
We plan now before the end of this year.

When we said "before the end of this year", we betted that only one interface sample would be enough to start the production.
After first sample, we decided to change leds and buttons in order to have a more professional interface.
And unfortunately, the second sample was 3mm to high (mistake in factory), then we decided to do not take the risk to start production without having one more sample with correct height.
The third sample, which arrived in our hands one week ago, looks 100% ready for production.
We just need some more days to double check the electronic part, then we will start production.

Sorry for this extra delay, but we prefered to delay this item until we can propose the best we can do.

I thought this forum was for communication.
Surely support can keep us informed on changes to expected delivery dates.

In coming Plasa tradeshow (London in September), we will introduce a new interface similar to the old interface Ssa, with a dmx input.

FYI:
With the computer midi input, our software can now do same than with dmx input, and even more.
You can find on market several affordable "midi control surface" devices suitable for lighting control.
