Pixel Strip:
Four LED pixels mount directly onto a pixel strip. Each pixel strip is
removable from the module. There are 16 pixel strips per module.
Power Supply:
Converts AC line voltage from the load center to low DC voltage for
one or more module driver boards.
RS232: RS232 is a standard PC communication type with a maximum cable length
of 25 feet (7.62 meters)
RS422: RS422 is a standard differential communication type with a maximum cable
length of 4000 feet (1.2 kilometers).
Serial Port: An actual serial port is required for direct connections through the J-
box, signal converter or the radio J-box/signal converter from the computer. Certain
USB adaptors create an “actual” serial port and others create “virtual” ports.
Daktronics does not support the use of a USB adaptor. The Venus 1500 software will
not recognize a virtual port.
Sign Address: The sign address is an identification number assigned to each display
of a network. It is set by rotating the hex address switches on the controller. The
control software uses the address to locate and communicate with each display.
Displays that are on the same network cannot have the same address.
