[QUOTE="videoman3857, post: 101762, member: 25346"] Not a stupid question and is confusing when you first start out. Pixels are smart. Nodes are dumb. There are RGB LEDS in a single light unit. If you have 16 strings of nodes (dumb RGB) you have 16 strings x 3 channels (RGB) (48 Channels) The LEDS on each string all illuminate at the same time. - ie 100 x blue. If you have 16 strings of pixels (smart RGB) you have 16 Strings x 3 channels x 100 "lights" (480 channels) Each "light" is programmable to be on , off, or whatever colour you want it to be. The difference - Dumb RGB - The whole string illuminates the same colour. The whole string is either on or off - Smart RGB - The whole string can be multiple colours throughout - can turn any of the 100 "lights" on or off. [/QUOTE]

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