PLINK Data:
The PIXELATOR MINI converts Art-Net, saCN, ESP and Kling-net into our own PLINK data, which
over Cat6 cable can run up to 300m to a PLINK INJECTOR, where it is converted to the SPI (Pixel) protocol.
PLINK Data Pinout:
PLINK Data is sent over Cat6 cable over 3 pins within a RJ45 connector. These pins are:
Pin 1: Data +
Pin 2: Data -
Pin 7: Ground
Hardware features
8* PLINK Output (RJ-45)
1* LAN port (RJ45)
Status LEDs
LED status indicator
The PIXELATOR MINI comes with one RGB status LED and two green network LED indicators located on the
right side of the front panel.
LINK: is ON when there is an active Ethernet Link @ 100 mbps. It will stay OFF @ 10 mbps.
ACTIVITY: This LED blinks when there is activity on the Ethernet network.
Out of the Box
As default, the PIXELATOR MINI will output the first 16 Universes of Art-Net starting at universe 0 (0x00),
with two Universes per port.
The PIXELATOR MINI will be set to a DHCP IP address as default. If the DHCP server is slow to respond, or
your network does not have a DHCP server, the PIXELATOR MINI will fall back to the default Static IP address
which will be printed on the PIXELATOR MINI’s packaging, but also can be calculated from the last three
bytes (pairs) of the Serial Number, converting the Hex (bytes) into Decimal values. The IP address will read
as 10.(byte1).(byte2).(byte3). For example, if your Serial Number is 0050C082356 the last three bytes (pairs)
are FF, FF and 55, when converting these Hex values to Decimal Values the conversion makes default static
IP: 10.8.17.38.
