LED-Strip C12-500 Cut MK4.1
Description
Beautiful colors, smooth dimming, and high reliability.
For over 20 years, the C-Strip has been the benchmark among pixel-controlled LED strips. With a track record of 100,000 units in professional use—often on a daily basis and frequently for well over a decade—it remains the top choice for professionals.
And at Schnick-Schnack-Systems, we never tire of doing everything we can to ensure it stays that way! The newly unveiled, backward-compatible fourth generation of hardware sets the bar high once again. With increased efficiency, a longer service life, and fundamentally revamped color processing, we meet our customers' high expectations for durable, long-lasting, and technically sophisticated installations.
The C12-500 Cut LED strips have a base length of 500 mm and consist of 40 LED pixels with a pitch of 12.5 mm. This length can be shortened as desired with pixel-level precision, down to a minimum length of 20 pixels (or 250 mm).
Thanks to spectrometric calibration, 16-bit control per color (65,535 levels instead of 255), and a 60 fps frame rate, it enables exceptionally smooth and color-accurate effects.
Modern, high-quality electronic components—such as efficient switching regulators, balanced buses, and numerous protection and interference-suppression components—ensure simple and reliable commissioning, low energy consumption, and a long service life. This LED strip is developed and manufactured in Germany by qualified personnel using the company's own high-quality production equipment.
The Key-Features are:
- Advanced dimming and color management algorithms
- Dimming ratio > 1:10,000, resulting in dimming starting below 0.01%
- 16-bit internal dimming resolution per channel
- Typically <3 SDCM color drift at the white point.
- Available as standard with 6500K or 3000K white points; other color temperatures can easily be implemented upon request or adjusted by the user via the Color-Config-Tool.
- No flickering visible to the eye or cameras, thanks to advanced modulation >10 kHz (at intensities >1%).
- Simple daisy-chain cabling system for up to 4 m per feed-in point.
- Extensive range of accessories, including profiles, diffusers and board holders
