[QUOTE="i13, post: 118472, member: 21708"] 2400 pixels from four ports is 600 pixels per port assuming that it divides evenly. You could have 40 frames per second if you're only using the one expansion board on an F16v3 to run pixels. If you use the ports on the main board alongside the one differential expansion board (which can have four receivers), the main board could have 80 pixels per port at 40 frames per second or 424 pixels per output if you're okay with the entire Falcon and expansion board running at 20 frames per second. You may want to use more ports and fewer pixels per port. It can make power distribution easier if you're powering through the controller. Another reason is pixel failures; if you run 600 pixels per controller output and a pixel near the controller fails, it can take out an entire output's pixels because it stops passing on the data until you replace it. If you want to run large numbers of pixels per port, it is a good idea to have spare sections of pixels with connectors on each end so that you can quickly swap out a section if a pixel fails.

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