Why is this device so cheap compared to others out there?

Solution:

On a lightly loaded PC, with the example program we can generate DMX at 40 frames/second. The standard has a maximum of 44 frames/second. One one of our machines here in the office (1.8Ghz) sending 40 frames/second uses less than 1% of CPU.
