  • Page 23: Pixel Grouping

    PIXEL GROUPING Each pixel requires three channels (red, green, and blue) to operate, and therefore the number of pixels (and consequently, the number of devices) that the driver can control is limited by the total number of control channels available on the driver. However, this driver also gives the user the ability to adjust the pixel grouping configuration.
