Yes but you will have to upgrade to a Pro license. If you are going to start using pixels you will max out the capability of the mini director very quickly.

The only way around without using a computer is to use a larger director which can carry more networks such as the G3-MP3 or G4-MP3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have stated, getting into Pixels, best to go with the PRO license, as some of the Pixel Controllers REQUIRE a PRO License, anything less and you'll be on here asking a million questions as to why Pixel Controllers aren't working or being found in the HU. I'm not sure if the License level affects the HU, since that is a backdoor to the Controllers for testing purposes only, just to make sure they can function, as it is. So the new controllers {pixel} may work in the HU, but when you start adding them and their high channel counts to the Sequencer, and you have a Basic License, only the first 4 Controllers will operate until you get a higher license level to handle those controllers. Again, Pixels are a bit more complex in their sequencing and some Pixel Controllers, again, WILL REQUIRE a PRO License to operate. So best to go ahead and UPGRADE your license to PRO, that is the least expensive way to do it. Use the Upgrade option and NOT the one that shows you're buying a new license, choose the wrong one, and you'll pay a higher price. So make sure you choose the UPGRADE LICENSE option when updating your license level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
