SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
CONTROL
PIXEL DRIVER 4000 supports Kling-NET, Art-NET, and sACN control protocols. It can be controlled
by an Art-NET compatible controller/console and for advanced pixel programming, or it can be con-
trolled via a computer with media software such as ArKaos Media Master. The driver also includes
16 internal programs for easy stand-alone demo proposes, which can be accessed manually from
the 4-button LCD control menu display.
PC – DRIVER DIRECT CONNECTION
Up to 5 PIXEL DRIVER 4000 units can be linked (daisy-chained) from a computer.
For systems requiring more than 5 drivers, see the next section for more information.
PC – NETWORK SWITCH CONNECTION
Up to 50 PIXEL DRIVER 4000 units can be linked (daisy-chained) from a computer and a Gigabit
Ethernet Switch (not included) that supports IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol). Using
a Gigabit Ethernet Switch that does not support IGMP can cause erratic behavior of all connected
devices to the switch. Up to 5 PIXEL DRIVER 4000 units can be connected per ethernet switch port
and up to 10 total ethernet switch ports can be used in a system. Click link below for more informa-
tion about IGMP.
