PixelArt

Version 1.35 firmware

Welcome

PixelArt provides a highly flexible way to convert any 

video source from the small screen to a potentially huge 

stage. Every part of the system is intelligent and fully 

programmable. This makes PixelArt quick to install, 

resilient to link failures and easily upgradeable to take 

advantage of the latest features.
