MRGRINCH12 Posted November 27, 2021 Posted November 27, 2021 I have been running multiple LOR boxes for years and have a bunch of sequences. I bought a prebuilt pixel tree from light o rama and want to know the easiest way too connect it in with my show. Can I simply run the network wire out of my third box to the pixel tree directly? Thanks Scott

Thanks Scott If your 3rd controller and all controllers on the network are G3 yes. You must set the NP to 500K and Enhanced and then also set it up in your preview and prop def. But ye it is that easy. JR
MRGRINCH12 Posted November 27, 2021 Author Posted November 27, 2021 thanks for the quick response. that will at least get me started 1
k6ccc Posted November 27, 2021 Posted November 27, 2021 If your older controllers are not Gen 3, they can't run on an Enhanced LOR network, not at 500K speed, so you will need to run two LOR networks - one for the pixel tree at 500K ENhanced as JR mentioned, and one for the older controllers.
jfuller8400 Posted November 27, 2021 Posted November 27, 2021 You'll also need the high speed (red) adapter.
MRGRINCH12 Posted November 27, 2021 Author Posted November 27, 2021 where does the adapter plug in at
MRGRINCH12 Posted November 27, 2021 Author Posted November 27, 2021 nevermind I see that it replaces the other one.

Red just can run faster than the older black (and it costs a couple of $ more to make, so they still offer the black) Or run another piece of Cat5 to the group of controllers
Daryl Posted November 27, 2021 Posted November 27, 2021 Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if you run two networks you will need the two adapters, one for each LOR network. Preferrably a red one for the pixel network and either black or red one for the other network (if the AC controllers are not Gen3's)
