Description

The ArtNet PixxControl PX2 is a compact ArtNet (DMX over Ethernet) interface, that converts ArtNet directly in two independent control signals for several digital LEDs. For the ArtNet network connection, a standard RJ45 network connector is used.

Two independent outputs with a selectable pixel data protocol
The ArtNet PixxControl PX2 provides two independent configurable outputs where the pixel data protocol (control signal) can be selected for different LED pixel types and other parameters are individually adjustable.

Selectable color sequence
The RGB color sequence is adjustable, which allows flexible usage. It is also possible to control RGBW pixels. Furthermore, a SingleColor option can be selected, where each pixel needs only one channel.

Adjustable pixel group
The ArtNet PixxControl PX2 supports pixel groups with adjustable lengths. Each pixel group behaves like a single pixel that is controlled via 3 DMX channels (RGB) or 4 DMX channels (RGBW). This allows for reducing channels in installations with many pixels.

Voltage monitoring
Both data outputs have a voltage input to check the LED voltage supply via the network. The voltage values can be accessed via RDM or web interface.

CTRL output
The CTRL output can be used to switch off the power supply for the LED installation after 5 minutes as soon as the ArtNet PixxControl PX2 doesn’t receive data anymore or the connected digital LEDs don’t light up.

RGB-LED Display
The RGB-LED displays the current operation status of the ArtNet PixxControl PX2 clearly.

Mute able LED-Display
The LED displays on the ArtNet PixxControl PX2 can be switched off via ArtNet command (AcLedMute), RDM (DISPLAY_LEVEL) or time-controlled. This is especially helpful on stage to avoid disturbing “light spots”.

Easy Configuration

A user-friendly configuration via a web browser allows quick and uncomplicated setting of all parameters. No special software is needed a normal web browser is enough. This means that the configuration is possible at any time from a PC, smartphone, or tablet. To set the IP address easily, the IP Configurator is offered as a free download as a PC tool or Android app. This allows the network settings of the PC or Android device to remain unchanged in order to configure the IP of the ArtNet PixxControl PX2.

RDM
Important parameters such as the pixel type, the pixel group size, or the color sequence can be set individually via RDM for both outputs. The voltage values of the LED power supply can be also accessed via RDM.

Free RDM-Software
To set parameters via RDM our free software RDM-Configurator is available as a download on our website www.dmx4all.de.

DMX4ALL Communication-Interface
The ArtNet PixxControl PX2 has another communication interface that uses the DMX4ALL commands via TCP or UDP.

Combinable with WiFi components
The ArtNet PixxControl PX2 can be integrated into WLAN networks in combination with a WLAN bridge.

Firmware-Update function
To use future functions, the ArtNet PixxControl PX2 offers a firmware update function. The update can be started from a web browser, so no access to the device is necessary!

Top-hat rail housing available
The top-hat rail housing 700 is available as an accessory for the ArtNet PixxControl PX2.

Modell Overview

The different models of the ArtNet PixxControl series provide a different range of functions and are available in different versions.

Connect digital LEDs with one control signal (DATA)
For digital LEDs with one control signal, only DATA and GND must be connected (e.g. WS2811 / SK6812 / APA-104 / TM1804). The data line should not be longer than 1m. Optionally, the supply voltage of the digital LEDs can be connected to the ArtNet PixxControl PX2 (V1, V2) to monitor the supply voltage (shown dashed in the following sketches).

Connect digital LEDs with two control signals (CLK+DATA)
For digital LEDs with two control signals DATA, CLK, and GND must be connected (e.g. WS2801 / APA-102 / SK9822).

The data line should not be longer than 1m
Optionally, the supply voltage of the digital LEDs can be connected to the ArtNet PixxControl PX2 (V1, V2) to monitor the supply voltage (shown dashed in the following sketches).

Connect DMX Devices
Each port at the ArtNet PixxControl PX2 can also be configured as DMX output. Thus, two DMX universes can be output via ArtNet.

Connect digital LEDs of several types
On the ArtNet PixxControl PX2, each port is adjustable individually. So, it is possible to connect two different types of digital LEDs with different control protocols.

Connect digital LEDs and DMX
At the ArtNet PixxControl PX2, each port is configurable individually. So, it is possible to connect digital LEDs to one output and use the other output to output a DMX512 signal.

CTRL Output
The ArtNet PixxControl PX2 has a CTRL control output that can switch off the load power supplies for the LED installation to avoid power loss for power supplies that are not needed for a longer period of time. This is designed as an open-collector output that switches CTRL- to GND. The supply voltage is kept directly to the CTRL+.

The following conditions can be selected in the web interface under Main Settings:  OFF after 5min no LED output If no LED lights up for 5 minutes, the CTRL output will be deactivated. The CTRL output is also deactivated if ArtNet data are still being sent to the device (condition: all channels=0).

OFF after 5min, no data is received
As soon as no ArtNet data is received for 5 minutes, the CTRL output is deactivated.

Always-ON
Independent of the LED state or ArtNet data the CTRL output is permanently active.

Connection with long data lines
For longer data lines (more than 1m) and by using digital LED stripes, the use of a PixxRangeExtender is recommended to prepare the control signal and isolate the individual areas. In this case, the PixxRangeExtender is connected directly in front of the signal input of the digital LED strip

Power supply digital LED-Stripes
Generally, digital LED stripes are operated with a power supply of 5V. Relatively high currents for the complete installation are the result. A voltage drop occurs on the digital LED-Stripe itself, so little by little the brightness reduces. Furthermore, this is the reason for different color reproduction in the case of using RGB/RGBW strips. A steady supply of voltage is necessary. Several decentral power supplies or one central power supply can be used for voltage/power supply. The cross-sections of the supply lines to the digital LED stripe must be sufficiently dimensioned!

Connecting LED-Stripes with several power supplies
If several power supplies are used, these can be installed in decentral. The supply lines can be shorter in this case In case of long distances within the installation the PixxRangeExtender 5V can be used to purify the control signal and to isolate single areas.

Connecting LED-Stripes with one power supply
The supplies must be calculated adequately in their dimensions if only one power supply with the needed high power is provided. To ensure a low voltage drop on the cable route this is necessary.

Voltage Monitoring
The ArtNet PixxControl PX2 can monitor the power supply of the connected LED strips. For this, the operating voltage of the LED strip must be connected to the ArtNet PixxControl PX2 in addition to the control signal. The voltage measured at input V1 or V2 is displayed in the web interface on the output settings pages. Furthermore, this sensor value is available via RDM.

Output settings
The Output 1 and Output 2 pages are used to change the settings for Output 1 respectively Output 2.

ArtNet Parameter

Up to 8 ArtNet universes can be output with each of the two data outputs. These can be configured under ArtNet Parameter. Depending on the ArtNet output software, the setting for the output is made there in universes or in Port, SubNet, and Net. The specification “Universe” is put together of the parameters Port, SubNet, and Net. In the web interface of the ArtNet PixxControl PX2, the configuration can be done via two linked input areas. Changing the “Universe” information on the left side for one of the eight input universes, the corresponding values for Port, SubNet, and Net are automatically shown on the right side in the configuration table. If one of the values on the right side is changed, the “Universe” number on the left side of the configuration adapts.

Channels
The Channels parameter specifies how many channels are used for output to the digital LEDs.

1st Uni Start Ch
Under 1st Uni Start Ch, the start channel of the first universe can be defined, from which the output of the data on the outputs takes place. Thus it is possible to select the first control channel of the output freely, within the first universe.

LED Type
The LED Type drop-down selection defines for which digital LED type the data is sent at the output.

Color Sequence
With the drop-down selection Color Sequence, the RGB or RGBW color sequence or one color control (SingleColor) is possible. With SingleColor only one channel per pixel is used for control. According to the color selection, the control occurs in one color (e.g. for running lights in blue) or for white of all colors.

Pixel Group
By the drop-down selection Pixel Group, the grouping of several pixels is possible. The length of a pixel group can be selected between 1 and 127. It is also possible to group all pixels connected to the respective output (drop- down selection: ALL). Each pixel group behaves like a single pixel. All pixels of a pixel group are controlled in the same way. According to the selected LED type, several settings can be made:

Speed Factor
Speed Factor is a setting for the transmission speed of digital LEDs with separate clock and data lines.

Master-Brightness
Master brightness defines the master brightness. This is settable between 1/31 up to 31/31 or on channel 512 within universe 1 respectively 9 (U1C512 respectively U9C512). (Available for MagiarLED III flex, APA-102, LPD8806, LPD1101, SK9822)

Gamma
Gamma specifies the curve of the output characteristic line. The possible values are 1.0 / 1.2 / 1.4 / 1.8 / 2.0 / 2.2. The higher the gamma value, the more the output characteristic curve is curved:

1st Uni Start Ch
Under 1st Uni Start Ch, the start channel of the first universe can be defined, from which the output of the data on the outputs takes place. Thus it is possible to select the first control channel of the output freely, within the first universe.

LED Type
The LED Type drop-down selection defines for which digital LED type the data is sent at the output.

Color Sequence
With the drop-down selection Color Sequence, the RGB or RGBW color sequence or one color control (SingleColor) is possible. With SingleColor only one channel per pixel is used for control. According to the color selection, the control occurs in one color (e.g. for running lights in blue) or for white of all colors.

The ArtNet PixxControl PX2 offers the option to create a login for the web interface. A password can be named on the service site under login options. An empty password allows access without a password request. The User Name is fixed, can’t be changed, and is always „Admin“. If a password is defined, it will be queried to get the web surface.

If a password is assigned and is no longer known, a factory reset must be executed to reset and renew the password. In this case, all settings are also reset to the delivery state!

Pixel Assignment 8-Bit Control
The ArtNet PixxControl PX2 controls up to 130 RGB pixels. For this up to 8 ArtNet universes are used. With 8-bit control, one channel is used for R, one channel for G, and one channel for B, which results in a maximum of 170 RGB pixels per universe. The single pixels are assigned to the universes as follows: Data in brackets refer to output 2.
