How many pixels is a node?

At a resolution of 50, each NODE is controlled by 1 PIXEL for a total of 50 PIXELs. At a resolution of 25, every two NODEs are controlled by 1 PIXEL for a total of 25. In all cases a single TRIPLET will control a single PIXEL. You may have a string of 170 RGB LEDs.

What is a pixel controller?

At it’s simplest form, the pixel controller takes the data from the computer (usually running a sequencer program like xLights or Vixen, or a Rasberry Pi running FPP), and converts it into a format that pixels can use.

How many pixels are in a universe?

The answer is quite simple. One Art-Net universe can control up to 170 LED pixels. We’ve made a simple calculator for you here. Just type in how many RGB LEDs you need to control, and the calculator will tell you, how many universes you’ll need.

How far can pixels be from controller?

15m
Distance Between the Controller and the Pixels The cable that is used to connect a set of pixels to a pixel output is limited in length. PixLite pixel controllers can achieve a length of 15m between the pixel output and the first pixel. There are several factors that may affect this length, however.

What are pixel Christmas lights?

Cosmic Color Bulbs and Pixels We created a high tech light string where each bulb is about the size of a C9 Christmas light and call them Cosmic Color Bulbs. Each bulb is a RGB pixel so each bulb can be any color at any time while being under your full control.

How do you control LED matrix?

To control an individual LED, you set its column LOW and its row HIGH. To control multiple LEDs in a row, you set the row HIGH, then take the column high, then set the columns LOW or HIGH as appropriate; a LOW column will turn the corresponding LED ON, and a HIGH column will turn it off.
