About

What is LED pixel control?

LED pixels (also known as addressable or digital LEDs) use SPI (serial peripheral interface) protocols. These protocols enable the synchronous transfer of more than the usual 512 values available in the DMX standard.

For your lights to understand your DMX data, the signal must first convert into the correct SPI protocol. This is the main task of an addressable LED controller.

Furthermore, with support for industry-standard network protocols like Art-Net and sACN, you can manage your controller easily via its intuitive web interface.

Designed and made in Australia, ENTTEC’s precision-engineered LED pixel controllers work with pixel mapping software such as our ELM (ENTTEC LED Mapper) to provide a whole new level of pixel-perfect control and detail at your fingertips.

In particular, one of the most popular ways to control LED pixels is with ENTTEC’s PLink system (short for ‘Pixel Link’).

Compact SPI LED pixel controllers.

Another great way to control LED pixels is with a feature-packed, yet compact, DIN-rail mountable controller. Professional installers love these because they are easy to set up and ideal for tight spaces.

What’s more, they’re really powerful.

Punching well above their weight, these little SPI LED pixel controllers are excellent for dense LED arrays. Compatible with virtually every SPI LED strip available, ENTTEC’s dynamic addressable LED pixel controllers will take any architectural, commercial, artistic or entertainment project to the next level.
