Pixel mapping is a technique used in event production and stage lighting design that involves programming LED lights to display specific colors and patterns in a coordinated manner, creating an immersive visual experience for the audience.
Pixel mapping involves assigning individual pixels (or groups of pixels) within a LED light fixture to correspond to specific areas or elements of an image or video. This can be achieved through specialized software and hardware, such as DMX controllers and pixel mapping software.
By utilizing pixel mapping, event organizers and lighting designers can create dynamic and captivating visual displays that can enhance the overall atmosphere and mood of an event. It can also be used to create customized branding and messaging through visual elements, or to create immersive environments for themed events.
For example, at a music concert, pixel mapping can be used to create dynamic visual effects that are synchronized with the music, enhancing the audience's emotional response to the performance. At a corporate event, pixel mapping can be used to project customized branding and messaging that is consistent with the company's message and values.
In summary, pixel mapping is a powerful tool that can help events by enhancing the overall visual experience and creating a more immersive and engaging environment for the audience.
Our power supply integrates 8 different 5Amp power outputs to provide consistent power throughout your entire canopy. That's up to 2000 feet of continuous mini-light strands! Each pixel contains 3 LED's, so to gain control of the entire canopy, we use professional-grade data distribution through this 16 universe controller. We can run 600' of strands from this one box which is waterproofed and can conceal well behind drape.
We built the power supply and data distribution, and tested a few different types of connectors and cables to be sure that we were not only safe in the wiring, but secure. We then tested mini-light strands from different brands to decide on which brand of mini-light provides the best color for an RGB pixel with the best power consumption and spacing. The key is to maximize the length of the strand, but we also want to provide a good pixel resolution. Through these tests, we were able to determine the best way to achieve the effect we wanted.
The versatility of the data distribution and power box that we've built allow room to link more power and data distro boxes as needed to add more lights! Every 600" would require another supply and data box which are easily linkable, so there is no limit to how large of a canopy we can control!
Even further, our data controller and power supply works with virtually any type of LED tape, LED strip, LED Neon, or LED pixel! So look out for more interesting designs that involve other types of pixels as well! This is only the beginning of the types of customized, pixel mapped chandeliers and designs that we can build and program.
The power of having full control over your lights means that you can decide certain moments to create magical effects!
For example, at the start of the first dance, we can create a spotlight of light overhead, by creating a circle of light in the center of the canopy.
This is where it starts to get fun!
