5.4 - Expanded Mode
If your pixels do not have a clock line, you may optionally activate expanded mode on
the controller, via the Advatek Assistant. In expanded mode, the clock lines are used
as data lines instead. This means the controller effectively has twice as many pixel
outputs (32), but half as many pixels per output can be run. The PixLite R4D receiver
was specifically designed to take advantage of this mode and you will always need
to use the PixLite T8-S Mk2 in this mode when using it.
It is advantageous to use this mode with data-line only pixels, compared to normal
mode, because the refresh rates will be improved. Pixels that only use a data line are
generally slow compared to clocked pixels, so improving the refresh rate is beneficial.
This is especially important if you are using close to the maximum number of pixels
per output.
