What is the maximum number of pixel LEDs the DEC-DMX-SPI can address?
What DMX protocols does the DEC-DMX-SPI support?
What DMX protocols does the DEC-DMX-SPI support?
The decoder pairs with DMX512 controllers and supports up to 38 protocols, compatible with a wide range of pixel ICs across both two-cable (DATA + CLK) and single-cable (DATA only) wiring methods.
What types of pixel tape and neon is the DEC-DMX-SPI compatible with?
What types of pixel tape and neon is the DEC-DMX-SPI compatible with?
The DEC-DMX-SPI is compatible with pixel tape light and pixel neon that use SPI-controlled ICs. It supports both two-cable (DATA + CLK) and single-cable (DATA only) pixel products, covering a wide range of ICs including WS2811, WS2812, SK6812, APA102, LPD8806, and more.
What power supply does the DEC-DMX-SPI require?
What power supply does the DEC-DMX-SPI require?
The DEC-DMX-SPI requires a 5-24V DC constant voltage power input with a maximum input current of 0.2A. A compatible constant voltage power supply is required and sold separately.
Can the DEC-DMX-SPI operate standalone without a DMX controller?
