[QUOTE="Notenoughlights, post: 130412, member: 25585"] Pixels, typically are the ws2811 variety and more commonly being used are the GS8208 for their backup data line. Voltage, 5v or 12v is really up to you. 5v requires more power injection, the pixels usually are cheaper. 12v requires less power injection, the pixels are a little more expensive. Controller wise, I would suggest the HE123 Mk2 from [USER=543]@AAH[/USER] webstore [URL]https://www.hansonelectronics.com.au/product/he123mk2/[/URL] it does require the purchase of a Beaglebone Black or Green board to run, and if you plan to use FPP v6 you will need to buy a license to use the outputs, Fpp versions 5 and below don't require this, so it could be a good starting point. If this is not something you see yourself being able to work out how to get going, Falcon and Advatek make great controllers, but the prices for those are higher than the HE123mk2 setup, and offer a little more simplicity.

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