Key?

[NSeraf]

I am working on a lighting project but I'm not sure which key I might need.

Here's my setup: I'm working with an Advatek PixLite 4, which can control up to 4,080 RGB pixels (the documentation for the Pixlite says that it has "24 universes of pixel output"). I am controlling the PixLite via an ethernet connection and sACN. The LEDs are in single strands of 80.

If I were to purchase Madrix, which key would I need? I'm a student on a budget, so is there anyway to get this done with one of the basic keys?

Thanks!

Hi there,

How many strands of LEDs would you like to control?
Or in other words, how may RGB pixels do you have in total?

Thanks!

I would like to control around 4000 individual lights (1 light = 1 pixel, is that right?)

Thank you!

Okay, these lights are surely RGB LEDs?

If that is the case, you wish to control:

4000 pixels x 3 RGB color channels = 12,000 control channels
12,000 control channels / 512 DMX channels = 23.44 = 24 DMX universes.

Since a MADRIX KEY basic only unlocks 8,192 DMX channels / 16 DMX universes for the MADRIX 3 Software, this would not be enough. If you don't want to buy a MADRIX KEY professional, you could think about sending the same data to multiple LED strands for parts of the installation, for example.

Does that help?
