CPC Package - Rooflines (RGBPlus / Pixel Bright)

Standard Length

Our standard roofline package allows you to decorate approximately:

• 68 feet (2" spacing selection)
• 104 feet (3" spacing selection)
• 133 feet (4" spacing selection)

Each of the four roofline segments in our RGBPlus sequences has effects for 100 pixels. The maximum length our default 400 pixels (100x4) will reach at 4" spacing is 133 feet. 

If you do NOT want to modify sequences and just want everything to 'work out of the box,' you must use exactly the default 100 pixels per 4 sections. (133' feet max; 33' per section).

Expanded Length

Expand your roofline up to 200' (4" spacing) with 150 pixels per port.  This requires RGBPlus preview/sequence modification.

You must also change the number of pixels per port on your Pixie controller to 150 instead of 100. Leave Logical Resolution at 50. http://www.lightorama.com/help/configuring_units.htm

Buy 4 more strands of one option: 

• 12V Bullet Pixel Strands (50 Count)
• 12V Square Pixel Strands (50 Count)
• 12V LumaDome Pixel Strands (50 Count)

Buy more of one option:

• 4mm Coro Mounting Trim (4' pieces)
  • 2" Spacing = 12 Pieces
  • 3" Spacing = 16 Pieces
  • 4" Spacing = 20 Pieces
• UV Stabilized Plastic Mounting Trim (7'9" pieces)
  • 2" Spacing = 5 Pieces
  • 3" Spacing = 7 Pieces
  • 4" Spacing = 9 Pieces

Custom Length

If you feel comfortable modifying the pixel counts in your rooflines in the preview editor, you can use custom amounts of pixels per section (i.e. 62, 83, 97, etc.). The sequencing effects in our RGBPlus sequences will resize to only use your custom amount of pixels after you make the changes. This requires RGBPlus preview/sequence modification.

Use our custom calculator to help determine how many pixels you need for a custom project!

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.

Learn more about default sequence layouts here.

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.

Assembled Pixie controllers are included with CPC Packages. Controllers are not included with Prop Packages. An Assembled Pixie controller includes the controller board and power supply wired and mounted in a weather-proof, ventilated and UL listed enclosure. 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.

Pixie power supplies are UL Listed:

• Pixie4 = MeanWell LRS-150-12 - 120/240V input (User Selectable) - 12V - 12.5A output - with extended temperature operating range.
• Pixie8 = MeanWell LRS-350-12 - 120/240V input (User Selectable) - 12V - 29A output - with extended temperature operating range.
• Pixie16 / Aurora Core = MeanWell LRS-600-12 - 120/240V input (User Selectable) - 12V - 50A output - with extended temperature operating range.
