Running Star on top

[bassmants]

I see guys are running 4-6' no problem to first node, but how about 12'?  My star is pixels and would be nice to run it from the zeus also.  Just wondering if I have to run some long cat 5's back to the MT next year from a hub or not.  Anyone try that length?

6' is a good distance.

You should consider placing a pixel or two between the SSC and the first of the pixels you intend to light.  cover (blackout) the pixels that are regenerating the data.

There is n need to black them out.  Just set them as null nodes in the controller setup.

So if I want to run up to the star, I can place pixels in between to carry the signal?

[tbone321]

You sure can.  You can set them about 6 feet apart and set them as null nodes in the controller settings.  I am of course assuming that the Star is the only thing on that specific Zeus output.  Just remember that even though null nodes don't have channel numbers, they are included in the total node count the port supports.

Yes it would be alone.  Right now it's 100 nodes, so adding a few extra would be fine.  Thanks, I'm glad there's a way besides running a wire from a hub over there.
