Page 4: Introduction
2 - Introduction This is the user manual for the PixLite E16-S Mk3 pixel controller. The PixLite E16-S Mk3 is a powerful pixel LED controller built upon Advatek’s 3rd generation PixLite Mk3 processor. At its core, the controller converts sACN, Art- Net and DMX512 protocols from lighting consoles, media servers or computer lighting software into various pixel LED protocols. -
Page 5: Safety Notes
The pixel output connectors shall be used for pixel output connection only. Completely disconnect the supply source during abnormal operation and before making any other connections to the device. Specification and certification markings are located on the side of the device. - 5 - www.advateklights.com PixLite E16-S Mk3 User Manual V20220819... -

1. Align the controller's mounting holes with the outermost mounting holes on each bracket. Using the four supplied M3, 12mm long screws, assemble the controller to the mounting brackets, as shown in Figure 3 below. Figure 3: Controller Assembled to Bracket - 7 - www.advateklights.com PixLite E16-S Mk3 User Manual V20220819... - Page 8 2. Align the lower edge of the bracket with the lower edge of the DIN rail (1), and push the controller down so it clicks onto the DIN rail (2), as shown in Figure 4 below. Figure 4: Controller Assembled to DIN Rail - 8 - www.advateklights.com PixLite E16-S Mk3 User Manual V20220819...

Page 15: Network Configuration
Figure 12: Network Layout using a Switch and Router Figure 12 shows a typical network topology for the PixLite E16-S Mk3. The Lighting Control Device could be any source of Ethernet data - e.g. desktop PC, laptop, lighting console, or media server. -
Page 16: Igmp Snooping
PixLite Mk3 devices have. This feature removes the need for IGMP Snooping. This means that operation of the PixLite E16-S Mk3 in the situation described above will require IGMP Snooping, as there is no hardware firewall in place. -
Page 17: Static Ip
This then means that connecting a PixLite E16-S Mk3 directly to a PC typically does not require any IP address configuration - communication will be possible because both devices would generate their own valid AutoIP. While the device has an AutoIP address in use, it continues searching for a DHCP address in the background. - Page 18 Note: The Factory IP is only a temporary setting used to regain connectivity to the device. When the device is reset (powered off and on again), the IP address settings will revert to what is configured in the device. - 18 - www.advateklights.com PixLite E16-S Mk3 User Manual V20220819...

Page 19: Operation
7.3 - Pixel Outputs Each of the 16 pixel outputs on the PixLite E16-S Mk3 can drive up to 6 universes of data. This allows for a total of up to 96 universes of pixel data to be driven out of the one controller. -
Page 20: Button Actions
Solid Blue White Solid White Outputs will slowly move through a continuous color fade. Color Fade Pressing the TEST button will loop back to the original color cycle test mode. - 20 - www.advateklights.com PixLite E16-S Mk3 User Manual V20220819... -
Page 21: Operating Refresh Rates
For this to take place, the PixLite still needs to receive and process each universe, including universes that will be dropped due to a lower priority. Low priority sACN handling with the PixLite E16-S Mk3 will require that the total number of universes being streamed to the controller from all sources combined, for any purpose, should not exceed 100 universes. -
