With S2 you have 4 networks and each can have 240 controllers so you can have up to 15,360 channels. We have never tested this many channels. The most I know of in the real world is 1,300 channels with S2 and about 900 channels with LOR I. With S2 I think a real world display would be limited to about 4000 channels.

brian.t.lowery Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I'm not so sure. I don't think even jim has that kind of time. Now if you got ten or so experienced guys with nothing else to work on all year.....And how big of a display would that be? Could you imagine the light count?

Could you imagine the light count?something tells me if you gave Jim all those controllers with 61,000 strands of LED's (50ft lengths) and said "Go forth young man and sequence" - I don't think he would disappoint and they would most like all get used.

Don Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 As has been pointed out already, the number of networks is now 16. It was raised to 16 in the 2.9.x versions of software. (Which was released late in 2010.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wbottomley Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Pounce if you want... but the number channels are subjective. I think it's the number of controllers.As far as RGB goes, a set standard has not been established by anyone vendor or person.But... the typical person watching does not care. :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wbottomley Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I believe RGB devices need to be set in their own category. Technically, it's not a controller but it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
