daczone Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I've got 16 CCR's using WS2811 and 1 Pixie16 playing from a MiniDirector (It's OLD)... Circa 2012 maybe? Anyway my lights can't keep up with the music. What can I do to speed it up? Is it my MiniDirector or something else? Thanks in Advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Uh yeah .. that's way overloaded for an older gen minidirector. Your two choices would be 1) Reduce the amount of data going across the wire by duplicating ID's (which would reduce the amount of effects you could do) or 2) Find a newer director or run from the computer (with Red USB485's).

daczone Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 Okay found a newer MiniPlayer uMP3g3, Flashed it with the latest firmware. Still slow lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daczone Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 Okay Progress. I ordered a RED USB485 device and I connected my old black USB485 to my computer and switched it to 500k (it was on 115.4k) and it looks GREAT!! So does the Mini Director run at 500k, How do I switch it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 The old mini director will only go up to 115K speed. The newer uMP3g3 will go up to 500K. I have never used a director, so I can't help you change speeds on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daczone Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) Ah figured it out. I was using the Simple SHOW Builder as I always had and should have used the "Hardware Ultility" to build the show as I could then adjust the network speed. And used the newer uMP3g3 Edited November 28, 2019 by daczone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
