PIXIE DRIVER – User Manual
48 Universe (24 output) master controller for a PLINK system.
ENTTEC's PIXELATOR is the 24-port Ethernet pixel
controller within the PIXELATOR family. Using
ENTTEC's PLINK protocol each port provides data to
ENTTEC's PLINK INJECTORs which can control up to 2
Universes each, making the PIXELATOR powerful
enough to control up to 24,576 channels (8,192 RGB
pixels) with perfect synchronization across all of its
outputs.
The PIXELATOR supports a wide range of pixel
protocols, which can be controlled with sACN, Art-
Net, ESP and Kling-Net through an intuitive web
browser, controlling LED pixels, dots and digital
strips has never been easier.
Our PLINK protocol can transmit up to 1024 channels
(2 Universes) over a 300m distance using Cat5e/Cat6
cable to each ENTTEC PLINK INJECTOR. This allows
for control of up to 340 RGB or 256 RGBW pixel per
output. This satellite system provides great
flexibility, and since all data conversion is processed
on the PIXELATOR, the P-Link injector is kept as
compact as possible.
Depending on the application, choose between the
indoor or outdoor IP PLINK INJECTORs, ensuring that
the voltage is compatible with the pixels and power
supply which is installed locally to the PLINK
INJECTORs.
