Product Information
The PixelPlay xLight Artnet E1.31 DMX LED Controller operates as a dedicated network master and standalone playback unit for high-density pixel installations. Designed specifically for pixel matrix panels and exterior architectural contour lighting, this hardware decodes native xLight project files while outputting synchronized Ethernet data streams. It works alongside an LED Artnet DMX controller infrastructure or direct fixture runs, processing Artnet and sACN (E1.31) broadcast packets across local area networks. Beyond live stream processing, the unit integrates Artnet, E1.31, and DMX512 lighting effect recording directly to local storage, audio decoding with sound playback synchronization, and physical dry-contact or network trigger ports. An onboard hardware real-time clock (RTC) maintains scheduled event timing down to the second without requiring an active external time server.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: what is dmx controller for led lights
A:A DMX controller for LED lights is an electronic hardware device that outputs standard USITT DMX512 or Ethernet-based Artnet and E1.31 protocols, sending digital addressing instructions to control the color, brightness, and dynamics of individual lighting fixtures or addressable LED strip lights.
Q: how to control led lights with dmx
A:To control LED lights with DMX, connect your controller to a DMX decoder or Artnet pixel node via signal cabling, assign a unique starting DMX address to the receiving device, and transmit channel-specific 8-bit or 16-bit values from the controller.
Q: how to control led lights with dmx controller
A:You control LED lights by generating color frames or lighting cues through control software such as xLight, streaming those frames over Artnet or E1.31 to the controller, or recording them to the unit for autonomous playback via RTC scheduling.
Q: Can this unit decode xLight files without an active computer connection?
A:Yes, it decodes xLight profiles natively from internal storage, allowing fully standalone playback of complex pixel sequences without an attached computer running during operation.
Q: How does the built-in RTC clock handle power disruptions?
A:The onboard high-precision RTC contains dedicated battery backup circuitry that maintains precise timekeeping during power outages, ensuring scheduled shows trigger at the correct calendar time upon reboot.
Q: Does this controller record live Artnet or DMX512 streams?
A:Yes, it features integrated recording functionality that captures live Artnet, E1.31, and DMX512 signal streams directly to local storage for automated replay.
Q: How do software updates work on this hardware?
A:The controller supports online software and firmware upgrades over the local network connection, allowing feature additions and protocol enhancements without physical chip replacements.
