LED-Strip C25-500 Cut MK4.1.1

LED-Module

Description

For over 20 years, the C-Series LED strip has stood for refined color rendering, smooth dimming, and exceptional reliability—making it the benchmark among pixel-controlled LED strips. Proven in hundreds of thousands of professional installations—often in continuous daily operation and frequently installed for well over a decade—it remains the premier choice for demanding applications in architecture, broadcasting, trade show construction, and entertainment.

Schnick-Schnack-Systems is once again raising the bar with the latest, fully backward-compatible hardware generation of the C25-500CUT MK4.1 LED strip. Improved efficiency, an extended service life, and fundamentally revised color processing ensure even greater color precision, maximum stability, and long-lasting installations of the highest technical standard.

The C25-500CUT MK4.1 LED strip has a base length of 500 mm and features 20 individually controllable RGB LED pixels. For maximum flexibility, the strip can be cut with pixel-level precision down to a minimum length of 250 mm (or 10 pixels).

Thanks to spectrometric calibration, 16-bit control per color with 65,535 brightness levels, and a frame rate of up to 60 fps, the C25-500 cut MK4.1 delivers exceptionally smooth, uniform, and color-accurate effects. Additionally, the strip benefits from all the advantages of the Schnick-Schnack-Systems DPB protocol: bidirectional, uninterrupted communication for configuration and maintenance, system-wide synchronization, stable data transmission, easy setup, and maximum operational reliability, even in large-scale installations.

In conjunction with the ColorConfigTool, the C25-500CUT MK4.1 can also be individually adapted to various applications. Brightness, color temperature, dimming curves, green-magenta corrections, and color spaces can be conveniently configured and transferred to the system in real time.

Modern, high-quality electronic components—such as efficient synchronous switching regulators, balanced buses, and numerous protection and interference-suppression components—ensure easy and reliable commissioning, low energy consumption, and a long service life. This LED stripis developed and manufactured in Germany by qualified personnel using the company's own high-quality manufacturing equipment.

Key-Features:

  • 20 high-quality, carefully selected RGB LEDs from Nichia, of the highest binning grade.
  • Simple daisy-chain cabling system for up to 4 m per feed-in point.
  • Full integration of all DPB protocol features
  • Advanced dimming and color management algorithms
  • No flickering visible to the eye or cameras, thanks to advanced modulation >10 kHz (at intensities >1%).
  • Dimming ratio greater than 1:10,000
  • Dimming start below 0.01%
  • 16-bit internal dimming resolution per channel
  • Typically <3 SDCM color deviation at the white point due to individual calibration.
  • Available with a 3000K or 6500K white point as standard.
  • Additional color temperatures via ColorConfigTool or upon request.
  • Supported by the Color-Config-Tool
  • Can be shortened with pixel-level precision down to a minimum length of 250 mm.
  • Extensive range of accessories, including profiles, diffusers and board holders
