PIXEL DRIVER 400 FRONT PANEL
The Pixel Driver 400 front panel uses a clear LCD display plus multiple indicators to provide
status information about its operation.
STANDBY SCREEN
When you are not performing a task within a menu, the Pixel Driver 400 will display a
summary of the Art-Net universe inputs against SPI outputs:
Power
Activity
Link
INDICATORS
To the left of the screen are three indicators. The red
Power
indicator is on
whenever Pixel Driver 400 has a valid power input. The other two green
indicators relate to the Ethernet network links. The
Link
indicator is on
whenever a valid network link is sensed. The
Activity
indicator will flash as
network activity occurs.
A tick here indicates that a universe
is being received from the controlling
device and is being successfully
applied to the SPI output port
number shown in the top line.
A cross indicates that a universe
is not being received and/
or cannot be applied to the
corresponding SPI output port.

ASSIGNMENT OF UNIVERSES AND CHANNELS
Eight consecutive Art-Net universes will be assigned to the eight SPI output ports, beginning
with the universe defined in the Art-Net Setting page within the menu (see page 18).
The 512 channels of each received Art-Net universe are applied to the relevant SPI output
ports, such that each attached Flex Tube Pixel strip will begin at channel 1 and increment
from there to determine the color mix of each pixel.
