Pixie controllers are simple and become more capable with a PixieLink. As Pixie controllers are added to a show, they can quickly saturate a light network. This results in poor performance such as pixel delay or poor graphic motion.\u003cbr clear=\"none\"\u003e\u003cbr clear=\"none\"\u003eThe PixieLink is the “bridge” for Pixie controllers to be used on faster, more capable light networks. The PixieLink provides connectivity flexibility and capability for small and medium sized shows while supporting multiple Pixie controllers and up to 32,640 pixels.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yiv7887032676elementToProof\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yiv7887032676elementToProof\"\u003eVarious light network types and protocols exist. Each has varying capabilities affecting the number of lights the network can control. Each type also has varying distances data can be transmitted. Network topology types are compared, showing the pros and cons of each.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yiv7887032676elementToProof\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yiv7887032676elementToProof\"\u003eThere are a few areas crucial to the path of light control data. It starts with an accurate prop definition, Light-O-Rama Control Panel Network Configuration, physical network connectivity, PixieLink, Pixie controller, and physical prop string\/pixel configurations. Various network types discussed include ELOR, E1.31(TCP\/IP), Serial DMX, and three different PixieLink protocol speeds. RS485 specifications state the network must be terminated. Networks may work without termination, until they don’t. Various factors such cable distance\/quality, noise, and network speed affect the “need” for termination.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yiv7887032676elementToProof\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yiv7887032676elementToProof\"\u003eDouble Unit ID Mode allows more flexibility with Pixie controllers. This flexibility includes but is not limited to expansion without adding a controller and potentially less cabling to high density pixel props.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yiv7887032676elementToProof\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yiv7887032676elementToProof\"\u003e340 pixels per port is a new firmware capability of Pixie controllers. There are instances where other quantity of pixels per port may be a better solution. Considerations include pixel performance, network load, and physical prop layout. In some instances, power injection and\/or prop definition adjustments will be required.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Light-O-Rama","offers":[{"title":"Oct. 7th (Wed) - 4:00-5:00PM Eastern","offer_id":48835725263093,"sku":"TSGRP-PixLinkDBID-1-AC","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oct. 23rd (Fri.) - 5:00-6:00PM Eastern","offer_id":48835725295861,"sku":"TSGRP-PixLinkDBID-2-AC","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oct. 28th (Wed.) - 11:00AM-12:00PM Eastern","offer_id":48835725328629,"sku":"TSGRP-PixLinkDBID-3-AC","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Nov. 4th (Wed.) - 4:00-5:00PM Eastern","offer_id":48835734077685,"sku":"TSGRP-PixLinkDBID-4-AC","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/2969\/1125\/files\/GRP_-_Pixielink_Double_ID.png?v=1790273505","url":"https:\/\/store.lightorama.com\/products\/group-training-session-pixielink-configuration-double-id-mode","provider":"Light-O-Rama","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
