Pixel-Gate Mini 16
Description
Das Pixel-Gate Mini ist die Symbiose aus zwei unserer beliebtesten Geräte. Es vereint die technischen Features unserer Pixel-Gates und unserer DPB-Router in einem kleinen, kompakten Controller.
Pixel-Gate – usind videosignals to control LED-systems
The Pixel-Gate serves as the interface between the video source and the LED system. It processes digital video signals in real time and converts them directly into Art-Net™ control data for LED installations or other DMX-compatible devices. The Pixel-Gate Mini supports HDMI signals, making it suitable for use with computers, media servers, and professional broadcast and TV studio equipment.
Thanks to hardware pixel mapping, the Pixel-Gate handles resource-intensive pixel calculations directly within dedicated hardware. This significantly relieves the load on media servers, allowing them to focus entirely on content playback. When combined with the PixelPatch software, LED pixel mapping is implemented with exceptional efficiency and clarity—facilitating faster system setup and ensuring clearly defined interfaces between different trades.
Thanks to low latency, system-wide synchronization, and 60 fps compatibility, the Pixel-Gate is ideally suited for demanding media facades, TV productions, immersive installations, and dynamic lighting and video environments. Image data is converted into Schnick-Net packets, with an option for Art-Net™ output as well.
Furthermore, the Pixel-Gate Mini 16 is a full Ethernet-DMX/DPB converter featuring an output for the direct connection of our LED modules with a power rating of up to 67 watts (24 V – 2.8 A).
This combination opens up a new area of application for pixel mapping. Its form factor and price point now make it suitable for use in even the smallest installations. It is roughly the size of a digital signage player; this very small, compact device fits into any application, and cabling requirements are minimal.
Apart from a 72-watt power supply and an HDMI source, all you need are the appropriate LED products.
Features:
• Hardware pixel mapper and DMX/DPB converter in a compact device
• DMX/DPB output for LED modules up to 67 watts
• Direct conversion to DMX512 possible
