Effect Generator Mode
In this mode, you can send DMX over Ethernet to
Pixel Port using the selected output protocol.
Universe/Output in Effect Mode
17 input DMX channels are used to create effects
and drives a maximum of two universes worth of
pixels
Effect Sync
In Effect Generator Mode, when multiple Pixel Ports
are daisy chained together, all running the same
effect, it is advisable to turn on/enable effect sync
option. The output of units, which have Effect sync
on/enabled will be synchronized.
Effects Explained
When operating in this mode note the following:
•
RGBW tape is supported but W channels is
always off and cannot be controlled
•
9PDOT-16bit protocol is not supported
The light output should be visualized as two layers.:
•
Background
•
Foreground

The following control the background effects

1
Master Intensity

By only enabling the background layer the Pixel
tape/dots will be similar to a standard RGB tape. The
background can be:
•
Set to a constant colour –
•
Dimmed
•
Made to strobe
The controllers affect the entire length up to the 340
pixels or mapped pixel number set (if mapped pixels
value is less than 340).
Master Intensity
Controls the overall brightness of the output. Where:
•
0 – no LEDs are switched on
•
255 – LEDs on are at full brightness
Background Red/Green/Blue
•
Separate DMX channel controls each pixel
colour.
Please refer to table
•
Each DMX channel controls the corresponding
pixel colour of the entire tape up to 340 or
mapped pixels (if <340)
•
When 0 – LEDS are not switched on
•
When 255 – Pixel colour to full brightness
Background Strobe Frequency
Controls the time between LED(s) on and off time.
•
0 – LEDs switch on and off at slowest speed
•
255 – LEDs switch on and off at fastest speed
Background Strobe Duration
Controls the time that the LEDs are on
