PIXIE DRIVER 

 User Manual 

48 Universe (24 output) master controller for a PLINK system. 
 

 

 

 

ENTTEC’s  PIXELATOR  is  the  24-port  Ethernet  pixel 

controller  within  the  PIXELATOR  family.  Using 

ENTTEC’s  PLINK protocol each port provides data to 

ENTTEC’s PLINK INJECTORs which can control up to 2 

Universes  each,  making  the  PIXELATOR  powerful 

enough to control up to 24,576 channels (8,192 RGB 

pixels) with perfect synchronization across all of its 

outputs. 

 

The  PIXELATOR  supports  a  wide  range  of  pixel 

protocols, which can be controlled with sACN, Art-

Net,  ESP  and  Kling-Net  through  an  intuitive  web 

browser,  controlling  LED  pixels,  dots  and  digital 

strips has never been easier. 

 

Our PLINK protocol can transmit up to 1024 channels 

(2 Universes) over a 300m distance using Cat5e/Cat6 

cable  to  each  ENTTEC  PLINK  INJECTOR.  This  allows 

for control of up to 340 RGB or 256 RGBW pixel per 

output.  This  satellite  system  provides  great 

flexibility, and since all data conversion is processed 

on  the  PIXELATOR,  the  P-Link  injector  is  kept  as 

compact as possible.  

 

Depending on the application, choose between the 

indoor or outdoor IP PLINK INJECTORs, ensuring that 

the voltage is compatible with the pixels and power 

supply  which  is  installed  locally  to  the  PLINK 

INJECTORs. 

 

Features

 

 

24*  RJ-45  ports  (each  providing  2  Universes  of 

PLINK data output) 

 

 

48  Universe  Ethernet  to  PLINK  data  over 

Cat5e/Cat6 cable 

 

 

1U Rack form factor 

 

 

Easy  to  setup  &  update  through  any  web 

browser  

 

 

Supports sACN, Art-Net, ESP and Kling-Net  

 

 

RJ45 Ethercon connector (10/100 Mbps)  

 

 

Static or Dynamic (DHCP) IP configuration (DHCP 

by default)  

 

 

Compatible with ENTTEC PLINK INJECTORs  

 

 

Pixel  Grouping  is  configurable  for  each  PLINK 

port. (1 to 340) for RGB and (1 to 256) for RGBW  

 

 

Each  PLINK  output  can  be  assigned  up  to  2 

Ethernet Universes.  

 

 

Pixel  Ordering  is  configurable  for  each  PLINK 

port.  Drives 2 DMX universes of Pixel Tape/Dots.

 

 

Each port outputs at 40 frames per second

 

 

ArtSync  support  to  ensure  all  outputs  are  in 

synchronization with each other.

 

 

Clock module to sync multiple universes output 

and an in-built DMX Generator

 

 

Dual  core  CPU,  with  a  clock  speed  2GHz  – 

provides efficient and reliable output

 

 

1GB  DDR3  RAM  –  allows best  utilization  of  the 

system.
