[QUOTE="OzAz, post: 104582, member: 25027"] You won't find many secondhand RGB controllers on ebay, mostly sold through forums like this or on the facebook groups Where about are you located? [USER=4776]@darylc[/USER] [I]might [/I]have some falcon controllers for sale $200USD + shipping, else you could get one of [USER=543]@AAH[/USER] 's Pi hat boards if you only want something smaller for now. There's also several other vendors in USA There's no rule of thumb, some max out each output (eg 1024 pixels per output on a falcon board) other's spread it out over several ports. For instance, I have a 4 port controller which has 1 arch and 1 candy cane on each port, with no power injection. Others might have put all 8 props on the one output and used power injection. Basically each output/port is broken into a number of DMX Universes (depending on maximum pixels the board can handle per output); eg, An output may have 4 of 512 channel universes, so 300 pixels @ 3 channels each would span nearly 2 universes (Note: you can use all 512 channels but most people just use max of 510 (3 x 170 =510) Despite the fact that lots of people seem to dislike HolidayCoro, I still think this is one of the [URL='https://www.holidaycoro.com/v/vspfiles/assets/images/AlphaPix4-Logical-DMX-Channel-Diagram.gif']best pictures for explaining pixels / channels / universes / outputs[/URL] (ports) [/QUOTE]

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
