Gamma Correction unlocks the full potential of your pixels, aligning lighting data with the human eye’s perception to deliver vibrant, rich, and accurate colors. Dithering enhances 8-bit pixels with a virtual ninth bit in the pixel data stream, effectively doubling the resolution, rendering supported pixels in even greater detail. Digital Current Control provides the power to fine-tune the operating current for individual colors, improving accuracy and color gamut for mixed hues. Art-Sync and sACN Sync minimizes tearing effects across pixel outputs, ensuring a smooth display experience.

Extreme Refresh Rates allow driving the pixels at hundreds of frames per second, to captivate both the human eye and cameras, producing top-tier performance.

Introducing
SHOWTime™ is a powerful free firmware feature that unlocks the ability for all Mk3 pixel controllers to function as standalone devices that can play back scenes and playlists without the need for any source of live data.
Unleash your PixLite Mk3 controller with
KEY FEATURES
RECORD
Create frame-perfect recordings, design stunning playlists and save them directly onto a microSD card for untethered playback. SHOWTime™ also allows you to graphically monitor record and playback frame rates with the user interface.
Advatek’s powerful PixLite® Mk3 processor was designed with the processing capability to build on an ever-expanding set of features. With the launch of the revolutionary SHOWTime™ firmware feature, all Mk3 devices can now operate as independent smart controllers. SHOWTime™ was also designed to be future-proof, enabling easy integration with third-party systems for even greater compatibility.
Record scenes and create playlists
Play back scenes and playlists to pixels and Aux port Record incoming data as scenes, save playlists or use built-in scenes to blank or freeze all outputs. The user-friendly interface will allow you to create variations of recorded playlists that can be set to play automatically using pre-set triggers. Built in scenes now include simple colors as shown in the screenshots below. Create up to 25 powerful triggers
PLAYBACK
Each PixLite® device allows you to create up to 25 powerful triggers that can be configured using sACN, Art-Net, DMX512, or UDP sources. Each trigger can be configured to initiate an action when an event is detected. Live and programmed intensity control
SHOWTime™ is exclusively available on Advatek PixLite® Mk3 controllers, and is included at no extra charge.
Use an external sACN, Art-Net, or DMX512 channel to independently drive the live intensity of pixel outputs and the Aux port. When live intensity is in use, triggers can either override or prioritize live intensity, allowing for flexible and powerful intensity control.

\ Our Products \ Standard Controllers
OUR PRODUCTS PixLite® Mk3 Standard Pixel Controllers
\ Our Products \ Standard Controllers
A pixel controller takes incoming data from a source of lighting control – processes this data, and then disperses pixel data through its outputs. A pixel controller will handle these three operations in a single physical device for indoor use, and this is where our Standard range of controllers comes in.
Our Standard range of PixLite® controllers features high-capacity pixel control solutions and are most suited to applications where the distance from the controller to each pixel fixture is less than 15 metres (49’). They include options for pixel control right up to 96 universes of Art-Net or sACN data and 16,000+ pixels a single controller. PixLite® controllers support the widest range of chip protocols – giving you the ultimate flexibility to achieve your project vision.
PixLite® A16-S Mk3
KEY FEATURES With sleek, compact design, electrical fault protection on all inputs and outputs, smart electronic fuses and features that provide scalable value to any lighting project – the A4-S Mk3 controller is an unrivalled solution for any commercial and industrial project. With high output capacity, you will need fewer controllers to drive the same number of pixels – producing a low cost per pixel output and per universe, and the highest value per controllable pixel.
KEY FEATURES
KEY FEATURES
All the features of the A4-S Mk3, but bigger! Supporting up to 96 universes of Art-Net or sACN data from its 16 powered pixel outputs – this controller can drive up to 16,320 RGB powered pixels.
The PixLite® E4-S Mk3 (3rd generation processor) is an economical, but powerful, pixel LED controller. The easily accessible and removable screw terminal blocks each have three pins (Clock | Data | Ground) making this device suitable for installations where power does not need to be routed through the pixel controller. The E-Series of PixLite® controllers are the ‘Economical’ variants of the A-Series controllers.
All the features of the E4-S Mk3, but bigger! The E16-S Mk3 is the most cost-efficient 16-output commercial grade pixel controller available. The PixLite® E16-S Mk3 is an economical, but powerful LED controller build upon Advatek’s 3rd generation PixLite® Mk3 processor.

\ Our Products \ Long Range Controllers
The layout of some projects means that sometimes the controller needs to be located quite a distance away from the pixels that it is powering (e.g., architectural facades and outdoor installations over large spaces), and this is where our LongRange pixel control systems are likely to be the best solution.
Our Long-Range family of solutions include options to drive 96 universes of data, at distances over 300 metres (1000’). As it uses standard network cables to do this, it is a very simple, cost effective and convenient way to control pixels over long distances. The PixLite® Long-Range solutions are the choice of professionals all around the world with over 20,000 units installed globally.
