3  Introduction 

City Theatrical's QolorPIX Tape Controller is an innovative approach to pixel control which 
offers a high level of creativity combined with plug and play usability. Each QolorPIX Tape 
Controller is preconfigured with personality profiles, which can be combined and tuned to 
produce thousands of dynamic effects using only a few DMX channels. Chases, fades, scrolls, 
bursts, and other effects can be created and saved as needed. QolorPIX Pixel Controlled LED 
Tape connects to the controller using industry standard four pin XLR connectors. Within one 
minute, the system can be up and running.
