Summary of Contents for Beam Labs Pixelator Plus
- Page 1 BEAM LABS Pixelator Plus Control Pixel LED strips standalone or from virtually any RGB /RGBW controller using a unique PWM input. Also takes DMX, so is an ideal pixel con- troller for home automation systems. www.ledlightingproducts.co.uk March 2019...

Page 2: Key Features
DMX input, ideal for home automation systems such as Control4, Lutron and Mode. The pixelator plus also has 4 PWM inputs for connection to any LED controller, mean- ing that virtually ANY RGB or RGBW controller can now control pixel strips. -
Page 3: Typical Applications
Typical Applications Simple Standalone Mode using retractive switch Wired DMX Controller Standard Wireless RGB/RGBW Controller www.ledlightingproducts.co.uk March 2019... - Page 4 Wiring Up Please note that the pixelator plus requires at lease one control input to operate. However, the retractive switch can be used in conjunction with DMX or PWM inputs to offer a simple on/off wall switch override. www.ledlightingproducts.co.uk March 2019...
- Page 5 Setting the Control Channel (DMX Mode Only) The control channel is set by the DIP switch as follows: Flipping the switch UP adds the number indicated to the base address. Thus, if the switches marked 1 and 8 were UP, the base address would be 9. The control channel is selectable between 1 and 31.

Page 7: Standalone Operation
Standalone Operation For standalone mode the pixelator requires connection to a two or three position re- tractive switch. A two position switch connected between COM and SW1 will index through the different modes and off. A three position switch with an extra connec- tion to SW2 will allow an extra ‘off’. -
Page 8: Dmx Operation
DMX Operation The pixelator automatically detects when DMX is present. Setting the channels is according to the following: DMX Channel 1: Operating mode DMX Channel 2: Scale DMX Channel 3: Various DMX Channel 4: Speed DMX Channel 5: Length1 (number of LEDs on first run) DMX Channel 6: Width1 (number of LEDs on second run) DMX Channel 7: Length2 (number of LEDs on third run) DMX Channel 8: Length2 (number of LEDs on fourth run) -
Page 9: Operating Modes
Operating Modes The full range of DMX modes are covered in application note ANBL007. Below is a small selection of the modes available. DMX Channel 1 Mode Rainbow RGB Fill (channels 9-12) Aurora (no background col- our) Aurora (background colour based on channels 9-12) Swirl ( colour based on channels 9-12). - Page 10 PWM Mode (Connects to Standard RGB/RGBW Controller) This mode allows a standard three or four channel LED controller to control the many hundreds of channels required by dream pixel LEDs. It decodes the three or four PWM channels (red, green, blue, white) and applies a decoding algorithm. It then sends the appropriate data to the pixel LEDs.
