PixLite 16 Printable version

The PixLite 16 is a high capacity 16 channel pixel controller.

Features

Data

• Ethernet input compatible with industry standard sACN (E1.31) and Art-net DMX-over-ethernet protocols
• Onboard E1.31 to DMX512 output capability (no Art-Net to DMX)
• Supports both Multicast and Unicast addressing
• Supports IGMP allowing highly efficient data packet routing in large Multicast networks with many hundreds of universes
• High refresh rates

Power

• Individually fused outputs and logic circuitry
• Wide range voltage input
• High current capacity outputs
• Configuration free power connection

Other

• High power TVS (600W transient peak) providing external ESD protection on DMX interface
• Remote temperature and voltage bank monitoring
• Firmware upgradable remotely over the ethernet network via the easy-to-use ‘Advatek Assistant’ utility
• Simple network setup and fast configuration via powerful Assistant utility that shows all controllers on the network at once
• Advanced configuration options including start universe, start channel, null pixels, zig-zag, reverse pixels, RGB *color order, pixel grouping, brightness control and more
• Built-in hardware test pattern modes
• Individual outputs with each connector supplying power and data over a single cable
• Easy to use pluggable screw terminal connectors on all channel outputs and data interfaces
• Currently supports PixLite Bright™ series (12-bit) and PixLite Pro™ series (16-bit) pixel strings in addition to numerous other pixel protocols (TLS3001, SM16716, LPD6803, WS2801, WS2811/12/12B/APA104, TM180x, MBI6020, INK1003, APA102. Note: one pixel type at a time per controller.)
• Features 4 standard DMX512 universe outputs (providing an E1.31 to 4 x DMX bridge, no Art-Net to DMX) via dedicated RJ45 connectors, in addition to the 32 universes of pixel output.
• Two split power banks allowing simultaneous support of two different pixel voltages (rated at 32A each for total current capacity of 64A)
• 16 individual outputs with each output protected by 4A mini blade fuse (can be changed up to 7.5A)
• Jumper links allowing selection between “LOR” and “ESTA” wiring on DMX outputs
• Receives up to 32 universes of Art-net data and up to 36 universes of E1.31 data
• Auxiliary output allows PWM control of an external fan for automatic temperature regulation inside an enclosure
• 6 layer PCB with high copper density to handle large currents and minimize voltage drop
• Total output capacity of 5,440 pixels (max 340 per output)

Form Factor

The controller comes as a "DIY" (assembled PCB only).
