MRGRINCH12 Posted November 27, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k6ccc Posted November 27, 2021 Share 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 Share Posted November 27, 2021 You'll also need the high speed (red) adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRGRINCH12 Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 nevermind I see that it replaces the other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Posted November 27, 2021 Share 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are short USB ports Get a POWERED USB hub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
