Pixel-based effects as a design tool

Pixel effects have been very popular for many years - whether as design elements in clubs or as part of a stage set. As soon as they are in the field of vision, they attract attention. Dynamic color gradients, hypnotic-looking patterns or geometric shapes can be displayed with the effects, which can be controlled with pinpoint accuracy, thus offering the lighting technician creative freedom.

OVERVIEW

With the LED PT-100/32 and the PR-100/32 in two versions, Eurolite offers three pixel bars. The technology is identical for all three models: 96 LEDs, divided into 32 pixels, are used. So 32 individual segments can be controlled in the colors red, green and blue as well as all mixed colors from it. This requires 96 DMX channels, but it is also possible to work with half the number of DMX channels and thus pixels. In addition, there are other, smaller DMX modes to choose from.

THREE VERSIONS

The difference between the 3 bars is in their outer shape and cover. The PT-100/32 uses a classic tube, i.e. a round Plexiglas tube, which covers the LEDs and softens them with a frosty surface. On the PR-100/32, on the other hand, it is a flat cover, available in white or black. The white version is ideal for installations where the bars are in continuous use and the housing is perceived as part of the design. With the black version, the light output is naturally a bit darker, but the bar blends beautifully with dark backgrounds as long as it is not in use. The surprise effect is all the greater when it begins its color magic.

CONVENIENT MOUNTING

The two brackets on the back of the units can be moved and thus fixed in any position - this makes mounting easier. The system is also perfectly suited for mobile use on trusses. As a power connection, there is a professional P-Con input with an equal output, so that the current can be passed on to further strips. The DMX cabling is three-pole.

CONTROL

How then are so many pixels controlled in a reasonable way? You have to bear in mind, for example, that with these strips in full scale you can only accommodate 5 pieces in a DMX universe. A conventional DMX control quickly reaches its limits. One of the most beautiful and certainly most professional solutions for pixel control is MADRIX. The software is considered worldwide as a pioneer for pixel-based lighting control, no matter if it is only a few or millions of pixels. Predefined effects and animations can be varied and combined almost at will with MADRIX. This makes it easy to create impressive shows.
