INSTALLATION RACK MOUNTING This device can be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack using the mounting brackets located on each side of the device. Make sure to use mounting hardware that fits the mounting holes on the device as well as the rack itself. Use all four (4) points on the mounting brackets to ensure that the device is mounted securely.

INSTALLATION MULTIPLE DRIVERS Up to five (5) Pixie Driver 2000 devices may be daisy-chained directly together and linked to a single controller. See the image below for reference. Do NOT daisy-chain more than five (5) devices directly together. If more than five (5) devices are required, a one-gigabit ethernet switch may be used to expand the size of the network.
DRIVER OUTPUT LIMITATIONS There is a limitation to how many pixels can be controlled by each driver output port, which in turn determines the maximum number of lighting fixtures that can be controlled by a single output or driver. The values listed in the following tables for number of fixtures per driver port/driver unit are repre- sentative of the maximum number of fixtures that can be connected if the fixtures used are all of the same model type, with individual pixel control.

DRIVER OUTPUT LIMITATIONS Your Pixie Driver 2000 is programmed not to allow Pixie Strip fixtures to be added in such a way that the maximum number of pixels per port would be exceeded. This is done by limiting the number of Pixie Strip units that can be selected in the System Menu based on what has already been set up on the unit.
RGB PIXEL CONTROL This feature gives the user the ability to adjust the RGB Pixel Control configuration of the device. Individual pixels may be controlled independently for finer control over the resolution of the device’s lighting display. Alternately, multiple individual pixels may be grouped together under a common set of control channels in order to reduce the number of required control channels.
