Hello all. I've been doing some reaching, watching, and reading. Especially the 101 manual. I love Christmas and looking forward to starting for this coming year. My confusion comes with what controller to use for my first display. I plan on running icicle lights along the front roof line (approx. 35ft), so about 600-700 pixels daisy chained and power injected, the garage outline, four windows, and the front door. I'm estimating approx. 1500 pixels total. I plan on putting the main controller in the garage and from there, I can come up to the roof and the garage outline. I'll have to then go 15-30ft away for the windows. My question comes in should I use the Falcon F16v3 with extension cabling for the furthest windows, but then data my be an issue? Or an F4v3 to run the roof icicles and garage and data out to another F4v3 or smart receivers? I do plan to expand out to several trees about 20-30ft away in the future. Sorry for the questions, but it's hard to decide the best course of action. Thanks for any input.
