Functional Feature

◼ Operate between USB Mode, DMX Mode or Standalone Mode.
◼ 2U pixel control when receiving 1U DMX512 per port in DMX Mode.
◼ 4U pixel control when recording or using live input in USB Mode.
◼ Convert received data into over 20 SPI protocols for pixel strips and dots.
◼ Allow creation of custom pixel protocols. (Criteria apply, see 'Custom Protocol Creation Guide'
document)
◼ Configurable DMX start address and pixel grouping function to minimise control channel
requirements.
◼ Standalone show playback using inbuilt flash memory (4000 frames [~100 seconds]).
◼ Option to play a show on DMX loss or blackout output.
◼ Configurable and updatable via USB Type-B.
◼ DMX input on RJ45 connectors (ANSI E1.27-2).
◼ Test output sequences via EMU software eliminating the need for external data source.
◼ Backward compatible with the API for USB to SPI control.

USB Mode

Priority: High – Data from the USB will take priority over DMX and Playback data.
In USB mode, the DIN PIXIE is connected to a computer via the USB Type-B port. Users can configure
and manage the device using ENTTEC's EMU software. (More details available in the 'EMU Software'
section of this guide)
USB mode is useful for recording standalone shows or sending test data during installation and
lighting design. In USB Mode, DIN PIXEL unlocks its full potential, offering 4U pixel control.
ENTTEC also provide an API for the DIN PIXIE, allowing users with programming expertise to integrate
DIN PIXIE controls into their software applications. Visit website for more information from API guide
document.

DMX Mode

Priority: Medium – Incoming Data from the DMX ports will take priority over Playback data. DMX data
will be overridden by USB data.
In DMX mode, DIN PIXIE is connected to DMX512 sources via its 2 RJ45 DMX ports. A single DMX Universe
(512 channels) can be received from each DMX port. As a result, in DMX Mode, DIN PIXIE efficiently
converts 2 DMX Universes into 2U SPI pixel output.
DIN PIXIE offers flexibility in controlling its output through four 'Personalities' within the EMU
Software. This feature facilitates precise data distribution across its 2 output ports, catering to a range
of specific scenarios and requirements.
