So multiply 3 times the number of pixels and that is the number of channels you'll be sequencing.Plus... the channel counts in everyone's signature is very subjective with rgb devices.So the way I see it... it's not the number of channels you have but the number of devices.

FBW4 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 How much are the controllers?How many does each controller handle?Will each controller handle more than one run of nodes?Is the controller the same controller whether it is cat 5 or PL with just an option to make the difference between the cat5/PL or are they totally separate animals?

If so, I love it. If not, you're living under a rock. Start reading at page one of this thread and all your questions will be answered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Leon Forbes Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 OK now I know I am a little slow sometimes, just call it due to age, I have a question and that is Where are you seeing this information and where can I go get the information on the CCB's?

heystew Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 The pixel controller connects to your LOR Network, just like any other controller (CTB16, etc). No channels from your existing controllers are used.Here's a quick snapshot of LOR S2 setup with 7 RGB pixels.Each pixel is represented by a single row in the sequencer, but can be expanded to show the 3 channels that make up that pixel. In the below picture, Pixels 7 has been expanded to show the 3 channels that make it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponddude Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Also, don't forget the CCB's and CCR's have macro's in them. So for example, if you wanted to control all 50 (or 100) bulbs individually you would need that many RGB channels in the sequence. However you can use macro's to use the preset programs within the CCB's or CCR's to create different effects with only needing a few channels. Makes life a little easier.

Those with preference to smaller bulbs have reason to reply to the thread. Those who are happy with the idea of C9 format, have no reason to respond, and are thus not represented at the same percentage as those who would like the smaller format.

John2571 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 If I bought 4 sets of 100 c9 strings and 8 strings of 100 small bulb strings + 4 floods and 244 channels of LOR could I get a discount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you different from the rest of us that also make large orders?Buy them on sale, and call that your discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John2571 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Sorry I phrased it wrong. Durring the feb./march sale will the 100 count sets be priced at 200$ or will they be priced lower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
