For non-modified use with RGBPlus sequences, the controller in this package must be connected to Network Aux B/Network 3. Each network in your show requires a USB485-HS Adapter (computer show) or an available port of a Showtime Director.
Our "CPC" packages include the "Coro, Pixels, and Controller" you need to easily add smart pixel props into to your display. These packages can be connected to an existing network of Gen3 Light-O-Rama Controllers, or used on a separate network within the same show. A Cat5 cable is required to connect this controller to existing controllers in a multi-controller network, or a computer/showtime director if it is the only Unit in the show.
S5.6.8 or higher is recommended for easiest use for personal sequence creation; a Pro license level is required to use Pixel Motion Effects. RGBPlus sequence requirements are listed per purchase page.
The Assembled Pixie8 controller includes the controller board and power supply wired and mounted in a weather-proof, ventilated and UL listed enclosure. The power supply is UL listed: MeanWell RSP-320-12 - 120/240V input - 12V - 26.7A output - with Power Factor Correction and extend temperature operating range. This is a 12 Volt controller system compatible with 12V RGB smart pixel strands and devices. Dumb RGB devices or standard LED / Incandescent lights cannot be plugged into the ports of this controller.

- 1 Sheet of Matrix Mesh (Black or White) - 800 Pixels (20hx40w)
- Approx. 4' by 8' (46" by 92")
- 2.3" spacing
- 16 Strands of White or Black Square Pixels - 50 Ct (4" spacing). Two strands should be connected to form strands of 100, connected to 8 total Pixie outputs.

Optional Additions:
- 8 Pixel Extensions - Black or White (5ft)
- Cat5 Cable (50ft)

Our CPC packages can be used in a display with custom sequencing as long as the controller's Unit IDs do not conflict with any other Unit ID assignments on the network, and network limits have not been exceeded. To incorporate more than one 800 Pixel Matrix into your custom sequenced display, visit our collection of Prop Packages so you can use the Pixie controller that best suits your needs.
If you want more than one 800 Pixel Matrix but still want to use our RGB Plus Sequences, just put multiples of this kits to your cart and make sure each controller uses the SAME Unit IDs when you set up your display. Read more about our sequences in the RGBPlus Sequence tab.
Package Assembly
Pixels are not pre-pushed. Assembly is to be completed by the customer. Build an 8' x 4' frame for your matrix, or attach it to your home using wire, zip ties, or other mounting materials of your choice.
When viewing the Matrix Mesh from the back, the first pixel of the first port should begin on the bottom right and continue UP the section of 20 nodes. When viewing as the audience, the first pixel should be on the bottom left. Each strand of 100 should fold in a vertical pattern to create 5 columns in the matrix. The strands of 100 should start at the bottom of columns 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, 26, 31, and 36. Horizontally pushed strands (80 long, remainder 20), are NOT useable with standard Matrix Shapes in the S5 Sequencer/Preview Editor.
