[QUOTE="i13, post: 56359, member: 21708"] Welcome. Let's clarify a few technical details. A channel is able to switch something on, off or dim it. With pixel nodes every pixel light is 3 channels, one channel each for red, green and blue so that you can control the colour and brightness of every individual light. most of us use E1.31 to support the thousands of channels that they add up to but most DMX-512 controllers don't accept E1.31 input. E1.31 allows you to have large numbers of DMX universes (each with 510 usable channels). The pixels are switched by the pixel controller (which does accept E1.31 input) sending data to the first pixel in the string and that pixel sends the data on to the next pixel and the next one etcetera. They have power to them all of the time. Dumb RGB has 3 channels for each light set and like pixels, you can cut it into smaller sets. You can still control the colour and brightness but the whole light set changes as one. The controller switches the power to each of these 3 channels. You seem to have the right idea about the star but it might be easier to use pixels instead of dumb RGB considering that there are pixels near it anyway and they could send data to it. [/QUOTE]

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