Beyond DMX in and DMX out in parallel --> best ways to do it?

[lasershow-creation]

Hi folks,

I need to run DMX in and DMX out in parallel for Beyond.
Until now I only used either in or out, depending on the show setup.
This time I need to achieve DMX in control (cue selection via MA console) and in parallel I need to have DMX out for some simple lighting control out of Beyond.

What would be the best and most stable way to achieve this?
- Running with two Enttec USB interfaces? (never tried)
- Using an Enttex ODE MK3 interface? (don´t have one here, but can get one quite fast)
- Any other solution? (btw. running the simple light effects via MA3 is unfortunately not the prefered way in this setup. I have to run this via Beyond...)

Thanks in advance,
Tobias

This is partly a personal choise. I personally would prefer the artnet route (ode or similar artnet node devices). Then there is no USB in play.
USB could potentially cause issues as this creates additional requirements, and art-net nodes have the advantage that you can place them anywhere and you don't need to, per say, lead all cables to the PC.
