I noticed that your samples came from Rightleds - unfortunately, these are not waterproof. I found out the hard way! The effects of the rain can be seen in the videos of my last year display. The first night it rained, the pixels no longer worked properly. The controller/power supply was enclosed in waterproof enclosures, but the pixels were supposed to be waterproof and were not. But, they were so beautiful when they worked though!
But, what is exciting to me is that these can be controlled with DMX - I asked the sales associate over and over if they had any DMX controllers that would control these pixels. I was told that they did not...so that stopped my emails. I simply ran these using the proprietary controller I purchased from them, with their software to save the programs to the SD card - which limited the control I had over the pixels. Now that you guys have tested these with DMX equipment, I have some questions:
1. Are these considered 2 wire smart dmx? Up until now, I only know sequencing with LOR software and their idmx to speak to the Lynx Express and MR16 controllers, so I only really know how to sequence dmx fixtures using rows (3 channels per pixel).
2. Would the connection sequence be USB to Idmx to the decoder and then the pixels?
3. If they are self addressing, would I just count the number of pixels I have and divide them into R Channel, G Channel, B Channel per pixel in the software?
4. I am also curious if anyone has tried the Master/Slave controllers offered by multiple sources from China - for example, I would like like to purchase a pixel screen that uses a dvi controller. How would I incorporate all of these different sources? Traditional DMX, like the Lynx Express, and the pixels?
5. Have any of you tried the Stream technology? Mag-Led.com seems to have some smart technology - and I am very interested in learning more about the Smart Stream.
Any tips/advice from those of you who have tried the rgb technologies from China would be very much appreciated!
