7 - Operation
7.1 - Start-up
Upon applying power, the controller will quickly begin outputting data to the pixels. If
no data is being sent to the controller, then the pixels will remain turned off until valid
data is received. During normal operation, the multi color status LEDwill be flashing
green to indicate the controller is running and outputting any received data to the
pixels.
7.2 - Sending Ethernet Data
Input data is sent from the control PC/server/lighting console to the controller via
Ethernet using a “DMX over IP” protocol such as sACN (E1.31) or Art-Net. This device will
accept Art-Net or sACN data on either Ethernet port.
Sync modes are supported for both Art-Net and sACN. To learn more, refer to the
technical note on synchronous mode here:

Details of incoming and outgoing packets can be viewed in the Management
Interface.
7.3 - Pixel Outputs
Each of the 4 pixel outputs on the PixLite A4-S Mk3 can drive up to 6 universes of data.
This allows for a total of up to 24 universes of pixel data to be driven out of the one
controller. The number of pixels that can be driven per pixel output will depend on the
configuration, as shown in the table below.
Expanded Mode Disabled Enabled
Color Type RGB RGBW RGB RGBW
Max Pixels per Output 1020 768 510 384
Max Total Pixels 4080 3072 4080 3072
The PixLite must be configured before it can correctly output pixel data. Refer to the
PixLite Mk3 Management Guide for how to configure and patch your pixel outputs.
