For an 8 Foot Tall Tree, space pixels 2" apart (every other mounting strip hole; gap of 1)
For a 12 Foot Tall Tree, space pixels 3" apart (every third mounting strip hole; gap of 2)
For a 16 Foot Tall Tree, space pixels 4" apart (every fourth mounting strip hole; gap of 3)
We recommend leaving at least two open holes at the top and bottom of your cut pixel strips for easy attachment, but you are able to leave more or less depending on your method of securement.
Included in this Package:
16 Strands of 50 Ct Pixels (Select one from below). LOR end connectors. 4" lead wire.
Square Pixels - Black (Mounting Strips Included)
Bullet Pixels - Black (Mounting Strips Included)
LumaDome Pixels - Black (Mounting Strips Included)
Ribbons - Black/White (No Mounting Strips Included) - Only recommended for building a 16' tree: ribbons are a fixed length of 5m and do not require mounting strips
Pixie16 Controller - Assembled -12V - With Black LOR Dangles Included
Pixel Mounting Strip Rolls with holes spaced at 1" intervals (Black) - (Bullet or Square selections only)
Important! This tree is designed by default with STRAIGHT strands that end at the TOP of the tree. Ribbons cannot be connected end to end; you will need an additional controller for your Star if you select ribbons for your tree.
Frame construction is the responsibility of the purchaser. We do not provide instructions for the creation of DIY pixel tree frames for this package.
How Long Do I Cut The Strips?
A Pixel Tree is essentially a right angle triangle. The radius of your base is side "a," the height of your tree is side "b," and the length of your strips is side "c."
What can your display look like with our CPC Packages? Take a look!
Overview
"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. One Cat5e or Cat6 cable is required per controller to connect to a network. Pixel Extensions are needed to reach from the ports of the controller to the first light on each prop. On average, dangles on Pixie controllers reach 11"-16", and there is 4" of wire from the first pixel on a strand to the connector.
Prop Packages do not include a controller, extensions, or Cat5e cable. Only the coro props and pixels are included. Use these packages to customize your layout/preview and be able to use different controllers, or pack multiple / duplicates of props per controller port. Using software version 6.5.0+ allows for double unit ID mode on Pixies.
CPC Packages and Prop Packages can also 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. For custom preview inspiration, check out our free Compact Layouts.
Network limits and playback speed are important components of designing a light show. Ensure you understand the requirements and benefits of ELOR, DMX, and E1.31 before choosing to use the default layout, or customizing your own.
Software is not included with this purchase. A free Basic license can control up to 680 pixels. A Pro license unlocks full pixel and traditional LED control. Version S6.2.0+ is recommended for easiest use when creating your own sequences; buffer rows are available as new Motion Effect Row types in S6.5.0+ for even more advanced effect options.
CPC Packages are NOT compatible with Traditional Layout Sequences. The only pixel effects in the Deluxe Layout (SD Card) are for a 16x25 Tree, 16x50 Tree, and 4 Legacy V1 Singing Trees.
Prop Assembly
Pixels are not pre-pushed into these props. Assembly is to be completed by the customer. A Quick Guide of specific instructions is included with each CPC package. In general, props should be arranged left to right or top to bottom when viewed as the audience to best match pre-programmed sequencing effects.
When viewing a 10mm coro prop from the back, locate the "star" in the silver or black pixel path as the "start" of pushing your pixels. The side of the pixels with the male end (the 3 prongs) is the starting side of the strand. Follow the pixel path until you reach the "square" for "stop."
For single line props (arches, rooflines, windows), the pixels should be pushed right to left when viewing the prop from the back. (Left to right viewing as the audience). The Quick Guide instructions will tell you if your prop uses 25, 50, 100, or 150 pixels per port of your controller.
Mount the props to your home or in your yard using standard ground stakes, zip ties, PVC or other mounting material of your choice. Mounting material is not included with this package unless specifically stated.
Pushing a prop backwards will cause it to be non-usable with pre-programmed sequences.
Using RGBPlus Sequences
Using CPC Packages with RGBPlus Sequences requires version S6.2.0+ Pro.
A Computer, Touch Player, or N4-G4-Director can be used for playback.
Default RGBPlus sequences contain effects for Traditional Lights, Singing Trees or Pumpkins, and ~6500 pixels, organized into 4 ELOR Networks.
