    How-To setup RGB Pixel Strips & Technicolor Nodes over distance (length & power)

    Ray is a great vendor, but he's in china. Not your best source for information. Stop by chat after the rush of getting things going and ask these questions. A lot of good folks to help you. A US supplier that is very helpful is Holiday Coro (holidaycoro.com). Ray's shipping is high but anything...

    Vixen 2 or 3 for me?

    While I don't know much about vixen 3, I've heard it takes a lot of overhead and memory. Any sequencer takes a bit to learn but might be worth a try. You might try xlights 4. There are many videos to help you out and it has a good users manual. Just a thought. There are many people converting to...

    Question about E682 Zigzag Configuration

    It's been awhile and I can check out tomorrow, but I see a few problems. First, you are using all four outputs on group 1-1 thru 1-4 which I assume you don't want.

    is LOR SuperStar Sequencer a "must have" for pixels?

    Never using Superstar I can't speak definitively, but from what I've read and seen XLights 4 will do a lot in the way of effects and sequencing your whole show on the node level as well. And it's FREE! I would spend some time and effort withe xlights 4 before plunking down $400 for any...

    Windows 10 is stealing your bandwidth 'by default'

    I only have 10 gigs a month for $80. When I downloaded windows 10 it took over 5 gigs of data, upgraded to 20 gigs and over half of that was gone in 2 days. At least for people in the USA who are not the IT business, the cost of smart phones and 10 gig of data is as much as most can afford...
