Running Legacy RS485 Light-o-Rama Controllers and RS485 Based DMX (E1.11) and Ethernet Based (E1.31) DMX Controllers Together If you have an existing LOR network or controllers and would like to integrate modern, standards based controllers into that network, this page shows a variety of different options available to you. N Wireless Networking Options for E1.31 and E1.11 Controllers With the proliferation of wireless technology, many common items like thermostats, phones and TV's are now wireless and no longer require dedicated cables for their data "feed". This article covers th Pixel Spacing Distances / How do Pixels Get Their Addresses? First, lets start with a basic understanding of how pixels address pixels and then on to how this affects the spacing of pixels. While each pixel protocol/chip type (2811, 2801, 6803, 1804, etc) has a AlphaPix Technical Support Page All support and technical assistance for the AlphaPix controllers can be found on this page. If you are looking for controller specific information, including purchasing the AlphaPix, see this page: h Software Applications Supported by HolidayCoro Lighting Controllers HolidayCoro sells a wide variety of hardware that allow you to build most any project but what we don't sell is software - and for a good reason. We believe there are many good applications on the mar Running E1.11 / DMX 1990 Controllers (EasyPix, Dumb Controllers) from AlphaPix RS485 Interface The AlphaPix pixel controller has the ability to output legacy, DMX 1990 / E1.11 data using RS485 to legacy controllers such as the EasyPix , common dumb RGB and non-RGB controllers and devices such a AlphaPix Evolution vs. HinksPix Pro Differences between the AlphaPix Evolution and HinksPix Pro CPUs used in the Flex Expansion System The chart below shows the individual technical differences between the two CPUs offered for HinksPix Setup and Instructional Page Congratulations on the purchase of your HinksPix PRO controller. This page contains all the videos for how to do just about everything with this controller. Major Function Light-o-Rama LOR CTB16PC Comparison with HolidayCoro AC Controllers This page contains comparisons between HolidayCoro AC controllers and LOR AC Controllers Major Function Feature / Product Links >>> HolidayCoro Evolution AC16 Stand Alone / Play on Controller Options for Holiday Displays This article covers common questions about "S tand Alone" playback of sequences. Let's start off with some basic information: The typical process for a holiday lighting display is as follows: Are your controllers LOR Compatible? Are HolidayCoro RGB Pixel Controllers Light-o-Rama compatible? See the information below on how to determine compatibility between Light-o-Rama software and hardware and industry standard Ho DMX Wiring Cross Reference HolidayCoro devices that use CAT5 wire for DMX signals (excluding E1.31 devices) are intended to be wired using pins 1 and 2 of CAT5 wiring (568B) for their RS485 DMX input signal. If you are usin Understanding DMX (presentation) DMX is the most wide spread and popular lighting protocol in the world and is the near de facto protocol used in the DIY lighting world today. The Understanding DMX class provides background on how D Networking Options for AlphaPix Wired Network Connections with Home Networks The AlphaPix controller receives E1.31 data via Ethernet over a CAT5 cable, as a result of this, to get data from the PC to the AlphaPix, we need to send data out the Ethernet port on the show PC to t How to make two Pixel Megatrees play the same sequence Customers with 360 degree pixel megatrees may wish to use pre-made sequences for 180 degree trees and have the same content displayed on both sides of the tree. This article explains how to mirror out Displaying one sequence on two identical pixel megatrees For some installations where two 180 degree trees are used with two separate pixel controllers, you may wish to "duplicate" the output so that each tree shows the same sequence for one half of the tre Unable to Operate Message on AlphaPix / Network Troubleshooting on AlphaPix ISSUE: AlphaPix displays "UNABLE TO OPERATE" on LCD interface CAUSE: This message indicates that the AlphaPix will not decode E1.31 or Artnet data because there is no network connection between the c Data Input Interfaces Used on Common Lighting Controllers There are a number of different standards for controller interfaces. This document details the differences between these interfaces: Interface Name Protocol Wiring Typ
