I followed him on another forum, they are premium lights with a custom san devices controller.  Not compatible with any of the gear here.

They said you could run them with an E682.

Why would anyone want to go proprietary with now days?

the light string themselves are a non compatible string for the DIYLA hubs, ssc etc.  The chipset is supported on the E682 and I suspect a few others that have nut and bolts control of timing.

He went that way because he is familiar with led ic's and wanted top of the line, not the commodity chips in WS2811, or the TM1804.

I don't remember what protocol they said the pixel are but they are a definitely standard type that a number of pixel controllers out there will run. You don't have to use their controller. Each ball has 2 5050 LEDs in them. Definitely a very high quality at a decent price for what you get.

The proprietary controller is made by San Devices. It's purpose is for a  plug and play solution.  It has 50+ pre-built effects to run one tree in a standalone application. You take it out of the box, plug it all in and your done.
