1. INTRODUCTION Thanks for purchasing a DMXking product. Our aim is to bring you high quality products with great features we know you’ll appreciate.

Page 5: Main Features
IMPORTANT: In many LED pixel installations, especially where the majority of pixels may be running simultaneously at full brightness, it is necessary to inject DC power at various points along the pixel strip or string. Although the LeDMX4 MAX can only provide up to 8A per output port terminal block this is not a limitation since currents higher than that would require power injection along the strip anyhow. -
