The DMT PixelTile P25 MKII is a versatile LED strip fixture designed for high-output visual displays, supporting various control protocols such as DMX, ArtNet, and KlingNet. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, from stage productions to architectural lighting.
Function Description:
The PixelTile P25 MKII functions as a modular LED display unit. It can be used individually or linked with multiple PixelTiles to create larger, synchronized visual effects. The device supports different operational modes, including Auto Mode, Master/Slave, and DMX-512 (8CH and 432CH)/ArtNet/KlingNet control, offering flexibility in setup and operation.
In Auto Mode, the PixelTile operates autonomously, displaying pre-programmed patterns or colors. This mode is ideal for quick setups or situations where external control is not required. Users can select different programs and adjust their speed and choice directly from the device's menu.
In Master/Slave Mode, one PixelTile acts as the master, controlling the behavior of multiple slave units. This allows for synchronized displays across several fixtures without the need for a dedicated DMX controller.
For more advanced control, the PixelTile P25 MKII integrates with DMX-512, ArtNet, and KlingNet protocols. This enables precise control over individual pixels or groups of pixels, allowing for complex lighting designs and dynamic visual content. The device supports both 8-channel and 432-channel DMX modes, providing granular control over intensity, strobe, and individual RGB LEDs.

- Network Configuration: For ArtNet and KlingNet control, the PixelTile can be connected to a network. Users can configure IP addresses, subnet masks, and universes through the network settings menu.
- Data Cabling: Various DMX and CAT-5/CAT-6 cables are available for different setup requirements, ensuring reliable data transmission over various distances.
- Safety Features: The device includes a safety eye for securing with a safety cable, and it is designed with convection cooling to prevent overheating.
Maintenance Features:
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of the PixelTile P25 MKII.
- Cleaning: The device should be cleaned regularly to prevent dust and debris accumulation, which can affect performance and lifespan. The front lens and housing can be cleaned with a damp cloth; alcohol or solvents should be avoided. Internal components should be cleaned annually by a qualified technician.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the device for any physical damage, loose connections, or signs of wear. Pay attention to cables, connectors, and mounting hardware.
- Troubleshooting: The manual provides a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for common issues such as no light, no response to DMX, poor data quality, and overheating. Solutions include checking power supply, DMX addresses, cable connections, and ensuring proper ventilation. In cases of persistent issues, contacting the dealer or a qualified technician is recommended.
- LED Lifespan: LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. While the LEDs are designed for a long lifespan, environmental factors like high operating temperatures can accelerate degradation. Maintaining optimal operating conditions helps prolong the lifespan of the LEDs.
- Firmware Updates: Software updates may be available to improve performance or add new features. Users should consult the manufacturer's website or dealer for information on available updates and installation procedures.
- Repair: Repairs should only be performed by qualified technicians to ensure safety and proper functionality. Unauthorized modifications or repairs will void the warranty.
