ADVATEK PixLite Mk3 LED pixel controller incl. player | 4 x 6 universes | 4 x 7A int.

ADVATEK PixLite is the industry standard for controlling LED pixels via ArtNet / DMX.
The controllers offer, among other things: 

  • 4 x 6 DMX universes = 4 x 1,020 RGB pixels
  • Expanded Mode for 8 x 3 DMX universes = 8 x 510 RGB pixels
  • Supports over 90 different pixel types
  • Gamma correction + dithering for smoother animations
  • 15-meter data cable between the controller and the first pixel is possible
  • Recorder & Player for Animations via Showtime App
  • Up to 25 triggers via ArtNet or UDP

The manufacturer ADVATEK specializes in the development of high-performance pixel LED controllers, and as a result, ADVATEK’s controllers offer a range of interesting features and benefits.


Addressable pixels

The ADVATEK controllers offer 4 outputs, each supporting up to 6 DMX universes. This amounts to a total of 24 DMX universes, which corresponds to up to 4,080 RGB or 3,072 RGBW pixels. 

With the special Expanded Mode, the number of outputs can be doubled for many pixel types. For pixel types without a clock signal, the unused clock output (CLK) on the controller is used for additional pixels. The number of available outputs doubles from 4 to 8, while the number of DMX universes per output is halved. Instead of 4 x 1,020 RGB pixels, 8 x 510 RGB pixels can then be controlled. The total number of pixels therefore remains the same, but since the refresh rate (fps) decreases progressively and animations become jerky starting at 600 pixels per output, Expanded Mode is particularly advantageous for large pixel installations.

The controllers in the latest MK3 series support a total of over 90 different pixel protocols. The ADAVTEK website features a list of currently supported protocols, which is constantly growing.


Solution for long data cables in large installations

One common issue with pixel LEDs is the length of the data cable between the controller and the first pixel. Even with a cable length of just 2 meters, problems such as flashing, flickering, and similar issues can occur, and the only solution is a RangeExtender.

This is not the case with ADVATEK. The data signal is specially processed, which means that even cable lengths of 15 meters—and in some cases even longer—between the controller and the first pixel are no longer a problem.


Standalone solution as a recorder and player via the Showtime app

ADVATEK PixLite controllers do not require an external player, as one is already built in. Animations can be flexibly recorded and retrieved from an SD card. Up to 25 triggers via ArtNet or UDP can be set to start or stop animations. All of this can be conveniently controlled via the special SHOWTime app. Direct control of the pixels is also possible using color pickers and RGB faders.

Difference between A (internal power supply) and E versions (external power supply)

 In the A version, the LED pixels can be powered via the controller. This version provides a maximum output of 7 amps at each of the 4 outputs in the 5–24 VDC range. The outputs are electronically monitored and fused. If the fuse trips, the controller attempts an automatic reset, similar to what is found in high-quality power supplies. 

The A version therefore offers a time-saving advantage during installation, particularly for time-critical projects, and makes the overall installation more streamlined. The power supply and data lines can be wired together. 

The other technical features of the A and E versions are identical.
