Page 13: Connection With Long Data Lines
ArtNet PixxControl PX2 Connection with long data lines For longer data lines (more than 1m) and by using digital LED stripes, the use of a PixxRangeExtender is recommended to prepare the control signal and isolate the individual areas. In this case, the PixxRangeExtender is connected directly in front of the signal input of the digital LED strip. -
Page 14: Power Supply Digital Led-Stripes
ArtNet PixxControl PX2 Power supply digital LED-Stripes Generally digital LED-Stripes are operated with a power supply of 5V. Relatively high currents for the complete installation are the result. A voltage drop occurs on the digital LED-Stripe itself, so little by little the brightness reduces. -

Page 25: Pixel Assignment
Pixel Assignment 8-Bit Control The ArtNet PixxControl PX2 controls up to 130RGB pixel. For this up to 8 ArtNet universes are used. With 8-bit control, one channel is used for R, one channel for G and one channel for B, which results in a maximum of 170 RGB pixels per universe. - Page 26 ArtNet PixxControl PX2 16-Bit Control The 16-bit control is available for LED types with more than 8 bits. These are the LPD1886 with 12 bit and the UCS9812 with 16 bit. In the 16-bit control always 2 DMX channels are used for one color control.
