The third generation of Advatek Lighting’s long-range lighting controller, the PixLite T8-S MK3, has gained a power boost following customer requests. Manufactured in Australia, at the heart of the Mk3 controller is a new state-of-the-art processor which runs on all-new firmware. This has enabled several standout new features: gamma correction for pixels at all resolutions, much-improved refresh rates, the ability for low-resolution pixels to appear higher in resolution through dithering, and the addition of record, playback, triggering and live device control.
“We’ve received overwhelming feedback from our customers that they want more powerful long-range pixel controllers,” explained Advatek lighting director Luke Taylor. “With a faster, more powerful processor, the T8-S Mk3 will allow our customers to create truly incredible lighting performances and displays.”
Each individual receiver unit can service up to 12 universes, allowing for the address of up to 16,320 individual RGB pixels from each controller. The PixLite T8-S Mk3 can send data up to 300m to receivers and supports over 50 pixel protocols, transmits up to 96 universes of data in total. The third-generation controller also features a microSD card slot for recording and can be configured using any web browser or the Advatek Assistant 3 Software.
