Revision History
Rev C
A core software change. Introduction of new low level base operating system for faster boot times and
security improvements.
Removal of RS232 features (RevB).
Rev B
Updated hardware introducing shared processing on the main and output card.
Increased processing power resulting in higher refresh rates.
Web Interface – Settings - RS232 String:
This provided the ability activate different profiles using the
following RS232 string template: P-xxx. As an example if you wanted to trigger Profile ID 4, then the RS232
command would be P-004.
Baud Rate: 9600, Data: 8-bit, Parity: none, Stop: 1-bit, Flow Control: none.
To test the connection, send character ‘V’. This should return the version info string.
Rev A – No Longer Supported.
Functional features
Profiles
The PIXELATOR has a set of default profiles which you can activate via the web interface or the LCD, to start
you off. For example:
Artnet24->Pixel24: This profile will take 24 Art-Net universes and convert them to 24 Pixel-Link streams
on ports 1 to 24.
Artnet48->Pixel24: This profile will take 48 Art-Net universes and convert them to 24 Pixel-Link streams
on ports 1 to 24. (Each Port will be mapped to 2 Art-Net Universes consecutively)
Profiles can be edited or created within the web interface of the PIXELATOR. With the use of an intuitive
drag and drop system to add ‘modules’ to the PIXELATOR’s Profile. Add and configure incoming ethernet
stream (Art-Net, ESP, Kinet, sACN) and assign them to different PLINK output.
The PIXELATOR can store multiple Profiles allowing different configuration to be created. Changing from one
profile to another can be done in a web browser window, or with the touch of a few buttons on the front
panel (LCD menu).
PLINK INJECTORs
From one of the PIXELATOR’s PLINK Data outputs, you can run up to 300m of Cat6 cable to a single PLINK
INJECTOR. Since all data conversion is processed on the PIXELATOR, the PLINK INJECTOR is kept as compact
as possible. At the PLINK INJECTOR, you can wire up an external DC power supply. The PLINK has the
capability to handle 10amps through the device. It is important that your power supplies voltage matches
the voltage of your Pixels, as well as having a PLINK which is compatible with the voltage range:
SKU 73546 is designed for Pixels with a 5 volt input.
SKU 73544 is designed for Pixels with a 12-24 volt input.
