[QUOTE="scamper, post: 101828, member: 22285"] I must have had my head under a rock Alan. I didn't even realise you were doing pixel controllers. Do your 4 ch diff transmitters work with the f16v3? Also how many channels can they output? And Ray. For your first year there is nothing wrong with using your laptop for the display. I, as did a lot of us I suspect, did the same. It is only when you get into the thousands of channels that your computer will start to struggle (unless it is like a gaming one or something) You can go to a Pi at any time and there is next to no change in how it all works. As far as controllers goes, you will need to confirm with Alan, but they look the goods. I personally bought a few of Alan's dumb controllers a few years ago and still use them today, but bought a couple of Falcon f16's when I went to pixels and they now control all my pixels and output dmx to the dumb controllers. Also, don't sweat over 5v vs 12v. I use both depending on the prop. 5v pixels and 12v strips mostly. The way I get around it without any real dramas is supply all my power via "injection" meaning, I don't use the power from the board, only the data. That way I am not limited to a set port on a board or a concern over it's total load. At the end of the day, you just get enough power supplies for the job at hand. good luck, and don't leave it too late or you will end up running out of time. [/QUOTE]

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