PIXEL GROUPS The number of pixels that this device can control is limited by the available number of DMX control channels. The device has a total of 512 available DMX control channels, and each pixel requires three channels (red, green, and blue) to operate. Therefore, the maximum number of pixels that can be controlled in standard configuration is 170: 170 pixels x 3 channels per pixel = 510 channels, which is the maximum number of 3-channel groups that can be accommodated without exceeding the 512 channel limitation.
