    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/string/array. 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 will require power injection along the strip anyhow.

    For software compatibility reasons a BCD serial number is calculated from the MAX device hardware MAC address using the lower 3 hexadecimal bytes converted to a decimal number. Software that has been updated for MAX series devices will display the hardware MAC address. DMXking.com • JPK Systems Limited • New Zealand 0129-700-4.10...

    There are many sources for LED pixels in strip and other formats. Pretty much all of it comes out of China and it can be more cost effective to source through sites such as Aliexpress which provide individual item sales without much effort. Try these Aliexpress stores or direct from a manufacturer: • https://kinggreen.aliexpress.com/store/713947 DMXking.com • JPK Systems Limited • New Zealand 0129-700-4.10...

    Of course using Full Mapping mode with >1 Pixel Group size it’s possible to stretch that 1 universe a little further. Just configure Port A as DMX-In sACN on the same universe you’ve configured a pixel output. DMXking.com • JPK Systems Limited • New Zealand 0129-700-4.10...
