Thanks everyone...It has helped alot...Not for another question...I knnow with RJ's system he has a limit of 128 pixels for his controllers...I have trees that will need at least 256 nodes for what I want to do and have them filled with lights on a 2 inch spacing...Plus my hedge design calls for...

Should it matter ??? For pixels lets say 12 volt..Controller shouldn't matter..If you are using an RJ controller then it doesn't matter..I was referring to a multi channel controller

Is there a max distance between pixels and their controllers that someone has figured out ??? I'm not asking for like 20 feet I'm talking like 6 feet either side for my hedge..If this exceeds the max distance how would one achieve this as I plan to have 128 pixels per 2 foot section and I'm...

Does anyone know how hyper dmx works and the protocol is uses or how it is different then regular dmx.I fully understand that it can output 4 universes over the same cable as standard dmx,I also understand what advantage this would have for me in my own situation with regards to dmx and pixels.I...

Do you have a link directly to it so I can check it out please ??? Thank-you for all the help thus far...I'm sure I will need lots more...lol Joe...

Eithernet is not an option as I explained above..The best I can do is dmx,not hyper dmx either...The chip used will not support it as of yet...So speed wise I am pretty much screwed unless someone designs a board that takes regular dmx and converts it to pixelnet or other protocol so then that...

The reason is simple..The Helix I currently have doesn't support the speed of anything over dmx..So that was why I was seeking something that uses dmx for the push of data then converts it to something the pixels can understand from there..Almost like a daughter board as I can get 3 universes...

True and I agree just not ones that are built off of dmx to pixel...Nothing is on the market yet for intelligent strings to be controlled this way.It's why I am here cause the best I can do with the huge investment I have already is dumb strings which is great but for a few trees etc I need...

Strange as this was the site I was directed to for just this very thing...David got back to me today about it so not really sure what is up...I figured I'd come to the source and see and learn..So here I am....lol

Not sure exactly...David emailed me today about a board coming out that works for intelligent pixels and runs off dmx input..He said it would be ready for May/June but I was wondering about more info on it..

Not according to David Moore..You can use dmx on this Tiger board to control pixels..But I also heard there was another new design coming out or being worked on over here..

I as well am preparing to make the jump to pixels..Just not sure how to control the smart strings,intelligent pixels or whatever people are calling them...I would love to use dmx to do this very thing and I was reading about the tiger dmx dc controller anyone have info on this as I'd love to...
