The PIX ON card is able to:

• A. Command and managing animations and effects on PWM
• B. Command and managing animations and effects in ON/OFF voltage
• C. Generate DMX commands
• D. Control in digital strips and independent led systems useful for graphic animation
• E. Control digital led systems managing independently each pixel for graphic animations and video with CUSTOM programs registered on board

A-Command and Managing effects on PWM

Function mode:

• A1) Receive commands by console DMX 512
• A2) Stand Alone with Standard or Custom programs (*)
• A3) With remote control

(*) The programs for effects as dimmer, strobe, color changing, rainbow could be managed by remote control.

The PIX ON board is useful to manage in PWM:

• RGB full color led or R+G+B (flexible strips or rigid -serials of monoled and multichip led)
• Monochromatic led (flexible strips or rigid -serials of monoled and multichip led)
• High Brightness led and power led (with current control board)
• Wall Washer
• Monochromatic and RGB led spot
• Every lighting and scenographical led systems

The animation and effect which request more than 6 outputs could be realized and managed connecting in cascade N boards , each one with 6 outputs for a total number of 56 boards corresponding at 336 independent outputs for monochromatic animations autonomous (56 x 6 = 336 outputs) or at 112 RGB independent outputs (336 / 3 r+b+g = 112 outputs).

The animation is managed by a MASTER board which command the other SLAVE cards, connected in cascade by a wire network with RJ45 plug in.

The signal need to be regenerated each 32 boards with a PIX ON card with the SPLIT/MASTER regeneration signal (see the picture 6).

A1) Functional mode PWM - commands received by console DMX 512

The PIX ON board work with a standard DMX-512 protocol and use 9 channels from 512 available on a DMX universe.

The starting address is settled in “tens format” from the hundred-tens-unit by three rotary dip-switch. (see the picture 4).

The minimum address which can be set is 001 and in this case the board use 001-002-003-004-005-006-007-008-009 channels. The maximum address is 504 and the cannels will be: 504-505-506-507-508-509-510-511-512.

Setting the board:

Position the 4 shaft from the Dip-Switch on the position: OFF OFF OFF OFF

Position the 3 rotary dip-switch in base of the desired channel:
DMX channel (1….504) in base of the unit-tens-hundred logical method

Each PIX ON can receive commands on the first 8 address sequentially at the first address fixed (for a total of 9 address).

Insert the RJ 45 cable date from the console to the DMX IN from the PIX ON board. (see the picture 1) .

Picture 1

The PIX ON boards could be connected in cascade by network cable with RJ45 plug in, as follows:

Picture 2

A DMX console at 512 channels, referred only at PIX ON board, can manage up to 56 boards, each one with different address.

In case of the same address to all the PIX ON board , are no limits to the max number of boards connected , only those one to position a PIX ON with SPLIT/ MASTER function each 32 boards (signal regeneration). (see the picture 6)

Note: The signal will be regenerated inserting a PIX ON card on the SPLIT/ MASTER function in the following situation:

A2) Function mode PWM Stand Alone with Standard or Custom programs

DMX PIX ON is supplied with a standard program which make color change effects, sequentially and stroboscopic simultaneously and / or independently on the two groups of the outside channels. (see the picture 3)

This effects could be activated from the rotary dip switch following the design. To modify the color changing speed it’s necessary to use an potentiometer plugged to the PIX ON board. (see the picture 6)

Note:
If the rotary dip switch UNIT is positioned to a PAIR number, the Volume + and Volume - buttons adjust the RAINBOW color changing speed sequence and the dimmer is at 100% (max luminosity)

If the rotary dip switch UNIT is positioned to an UNPAIR number, the Volume + and Volume - buttons adjust the dimmer and the speed could be set by potentiometer inserted to the POTENTIOMETER plug (see the picture 4).

Press the Mute button to activate the program STROBE effect (STROBOSCOPIC).

• The buttons Volume + and Volume - adjust the speed strobe.
• The buttons P+ and P- select one of the 21 colors, the dimmer is at 100% (max luminosity).

Each time you push one of the buttons TV, AV, Mute you turn to the initial values.

B - Command and managing effects in voltage (ON/OFF)

Function mode:

• B1) Stand alone with standard or custom programs (*)
• B2) With remote control

(*) The animation effects managed by ON/OFF, CHASING, QUEUING, IN/OUT, RANDOM programs could be controlled by remote control

The PIXON board with ON/OFF managing is useful to:

• Command to start and stop ON/OFF voltage ( related to the power supply voltage , variable from 9 to 48 V DC) which became active in base of the sequences and timers of the standard programs set in Stand Alone or realized custom in base of the client request.

The voltage commands manage directly or indirectly (with relay, tryack or electrical switch) each lighting system , motorized, domotic.

REMOTE CONTROL PROGRAMMING

Function mode

Insert the 2 battery 1,4V LR03 – AM4 – AAA type respecting the polarity
The red button signal of 3 flash lights means that was introduced correctly.

The remote control is ready to be programmed with 1011 code following the instructions:

1	Push the button TV-STB at least 10 seconds. Stop to push when the red button is lighting: the red button start flash lighting
2	On the next 10 seconds start to compose the 4 number code 1011 as follows: N° 1: push one time Prog+ button and after push button N° 0: push one time Vol+ button and after push button N° 1: push one time Prog+ button and after push button N° 1: push one time Prog+ button and after push button
3	After insert the last number, observe that the red button emitting 2 short flash light = OK The code was insert correctly If has a long light , means was an error and need to repeat the operation.
4	If the code was insert correctly start to use the remote control and check the PIXON board functions.
