SL-4000 pixel controller question:

[Teresa]

Hello! 
Just a quick question about the Sl-4000 pixel controller about daisy chaining. 

If I had for example one singing light bulb with ws2811 pixels, and two arches would I be able to daisy chain them and still be able to use the singing template on your software?

Thanks, 
Teresa

Hi Teresa,

Yes you can daisy chain multiple items together. The maximum distance between 2811 pixels is 10m, but try to keep as short as possible. A few meters is best. For 2811 we recommend no more than 1000 pixels per output. (You can have more but the refresh rate gets slower the longer the pixel chain).

The SL-4000 has 2 external outputs and 2 internal.

If you have items chained, yes you can use them independently in the software. You would just define your arch to have a starting pixel offset of 147 rather than 1.

Hope that answers your questions.
