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.

ArtPollReply changes for mixed DMX-IN/OUT port configurations. Fixed issue with show playback of recorded ArtNet when initiated with network link down. *Firmware version has been withdrawn from distribution and upgrade to higher version is recommended.

MAX translates Art-Net 00:0:0 to Universe 1 (i.e. offset by 1) so there is an easy mapping between sACN/E1.31 and Art-Net. DMXking.com • JPK Systems Limited • New Zealand 0129-700-4.10...
LEDMX4 MAX FRONT PANEL LABEL ERROR Note earlier production units have incorrect I/O Port labelling where I/O 1 – 8 are flipped 8 – 1. Above image shows the incorrect label. Corrected label is shown above. DMXking.com • JPK Systems Limited • New Zealand 0129-700-4.10...
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...
4. DEFAULT CONFIGURATION LeDMX4 MAX units ship with default static IP address settings. Please reconfigure for your local area network requirements before use. Default configuration is for WS2811/2812 pixel output with automatic RGB color order correction and 1 DMX universe mapping to 170 RGB pixels per output.

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...
