Hello all,
I have recently received all my orders of lights and controllers. In setting up and reading more i have seem to have gotten into a twist with pixel and channel understanding.
Here is my understanding of it all, so can it please be confirmed or corrected. Cheers
1 universe = 170 pixels = 510 channels
In practice however 1 universe = 150 pixels = 450 channels
Now I'm using the 2811 5 meter 30LED/meter 10 IC / strip. This equals 50 pixels ( 3 RGB LED's being controller at the same time)
Therefore as I'm using a ECG-P12R controller, then I can connect 3 of these 5 meter 2811 strips in series to one universe output of the controller. Making a total of 450 channels
Also when power injecting can I power inject at the beginning of the 5 meter strip and the end only? So if I join in series 3 x 5 meter 2811 strip I would have 1 data and power at the beginning, power inject at the end of the first 5 meter strip, at the end of the second and at the end of the third 5 meter strip? Is this sufficient for power injection?
Hopefully I can get some confirmation or correction.
Cheers
