LED Pixel Protocol DMX512-D

Overview

This pixel protocol is adopted by many pixel manufacturers, and uses the standard differential DMX512 protocol to drive pixel chips.

Note: This protocol refers to a differential, dual wire, DMX512 pixel chip. There are DMX512 protocols that use a single line for data, which are also supported - see the protocol DMX512 for more information.

Connecting to a PixLite Pixel Controller

PixLite Mk3 pixel controllers can drive differential DMX512 pixels, as well as single-wire serial DMX512 pixels. Single wired DMX512 pixels can connect like a standard Data-Only protocol. Differential DMX512 pixels require connection of an additional data wire. This pinout is shown below.
