Frames Per Second (FPS) per SPI output/port
HolidayCoro officially supports 20 FPS on all our controllers. There are many factors (networking, DMX limits, pixel counts, etc) that go into higher frame rates and there may be no visual difference for many sequences at higher frame rates. We recommend testing your specific sequence and configuration if your frame rate is above 20 FPS.
|
20 FPS / 50ms @ 340 Pixels
|
20 FPS / 50ms @1024 Pixels
40 FPS / 25ms @ 831 Pixels
60 FPS / 16.6ms @ 554 Pixels
80 FPS / 12.4ms @ 415 Pixels
100 FPS / 9.9ms @ 331 Pixels
Reduce by .4% per port for CPU overhead
|
20 FPS / 50ms @ 680 Pixels
Higher frame rates, up to 100 FPS are possible and depend on the number of pixels being driven |
