Professional Control Advantages:

  • 8 High-Power Outputs – Each output controls up to 512/1024 pixels (4,096-8,192 total pixels)
  • SD Card Playback – Standalone operation with up to 32 custom lighting files (128MB-32GB capacity)
  • Dual Protocol Support – Compatible with both SPI (TTL) and DMX512 protocols
  • High-Speed Performance – Up to 30fps with 512 pixels, 25fps with 768 pixels, 22fps with 1024 pixels
  • Advanced Grey Control – 32 to 65,536 grey levels with gamma correction for precise colour rendering
  • Flexible Pixel Support – Handles 4-channel (RGBW) and single-channel pixel configurations
  • Professional Connectivity – Enhanced 485 TTL and 485 differential (DMX) signal outputs

Perfect Applications:

  • Fairground & Amusement – Large carnival rides, game booths, and entertainment attractions with complex pixel displays
  • Architectural Facades – Building lighting with thousands of individually controlled pixels
  • Entertainment Venues – Nightclubs, concert halls, and theatres requiring sophisticated lighting sequences
  • Art Installations – Museums, galleries, and public art requiring precise pixel control
  • Commercial Signage – Large-format digital displays and advertising installations
  • Theme Parks – Immersive experiences requiring synchronized pixel effects across multiple zones

Installation Advantages:

  • Standalone Operation – SD card storage eliminates need for constant computer connection
  • Scalable Architecture – 8 independent outputs allow complex multi-zone installations
  • Professional Mounting – Compact controller designed for permanent installation
  • Power Management – Intelligent power distribution with injection cable support

System Planning Made Simple:

  • Single Output = Up to 512-1024 pixels depending on protocol and speed requirements
  • Full Controller = 8 outputs × 512-1024 pixels = 4,096-8,192 total controllable pixels
  • Performance Scaling = Higher pixel counts reduce maximum frame rates for smooth operation
  • Power Injection = Required every 20-30 pixels for consistent brightness across long runs
  • SD Card Programming = Store up to 32 custom lighting sequences for automatic playback
