The RC4 LumenDimPix is a tiny wireless DMX driver for pixel LEDs. The LumenDimPix enables designers to create beautiful effects quickly and easily while using fewer DMX channels with Patented RC4 Custom Pixel Profiles™.
Each pixel driver purchase includes one 1dBi antenna and a set of Phoenix Connectors.
The RC4 LumenDimPix is a tiny wireless DMX driver for pixel LEDs on the CRMX platform that enables designers to create beautiful effects quickly and easily while using fewer DMX channels. The LumenDimPix can control two separate strings up to 500 pixels long — the equivalent of 3000 DMX channels — using 3 to 510 channels within a single DMX universe. This is done using RC4’s patented RC4 Custom Pixel Profiles™. Designers can create unique and entirely original eye-catching effects and visuals without the use of complex multi-universe consoles, media servers, and all the wiring that goes with them. Using RC4 OneTouch™ or wired RDM, users specify the string type, the DMX start channel, and various configuration parameters for each driver.
Each designer has their favorite pixel string, and new products appear every day. However, few professional-grade drivers are built to control multiple string types, aka chip protocols. The LumenDimPix is the most versatile product possible, supporting all popular protocols, including WS2801, WS2812, APA102, LPD8806, MY9231 and others.
As chip technology changes and advances, so does the LumenDimPix. The RC4 CodeLoader™ allows drivers for new pixel products to be added by simply downloading and installing them.
The LumenDimPix includes a standard DMX data port and an I2C interface for use with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and more. Also note that any number of receiver-dimmers can be used in a LumenDim system, including multiple LumenDimPix devices.
