Functional features
USB Mode
Priority
: High –
Data from the USB will take priority over DMX and Playback data.
The Micro USB Type-B port can be used to connect the DIN PIXIE to a computer. The device can be configured and
controlled via ENTTEC’s PRO MANAGER software (more information under the ‘Pro Manager’ section of this guide).
We also provide an API for the Din PIXIE, allowing users with programming knowledge to integrate the DIN PIXIE
controls into their software. This also provides users with the ability to control outputs D3 and D4 independently,
providing up to 4 Universe of Pixel control. As a proof of concept, you can also use our PRO-Manager to output 4
Universes of ArtNet, though we do not recommend using this as a dedicated controller for your project.
DMX Mode
Priority
: Medium –
Incoming Data from the DMX ports will take priority over Playback data. DMX data will be
overridden by USB data.
The DIN PIXIE output can be controlled using different ‘Personalities’ which can be set within PRO MANAGER. This
provides flexible options to fulfil the needs of different scenarios:
Personality 1 (Default): Both outputs (D1 & D2) are identical. DMX Port 1 controls the first pixel section (170
RGB/128 RGBW pixels). DMX Port 2 directly follows at the end of DMX Port 1, controlling a second pixel section.
This means that both outputs control 340 RGB/256 RGBW pixels.
Personality 2: Outputs (D1&D2) are separate, meaning that each can control 170 RGB/128 RGBW pixels
separately. DMX Port 1 is mapped to D1 output and DMX Port 2 is mapped to D2 output.
Personality 3: DMX Port 1 controls both outputs (D1 & D2). This personality can only control 170 RGB/128 RGBW
Pixels, but each output does not necessarily need to be the same, as user may select D1 & D2 DMX start
address. Preview by selecting and saving DMX Pixel count.
Personality 4: DMX Port 2 controls both outputs (D1 & D2). This personality can only control 170 RGB/128 RGBW
Pixels, but each output does not necessarily need to be the same, as user may select D1 & D2 DMX start
address. Preview by selecting and saving DMX Pixel count.
