RC4 LumenDimPixMicro Wireless Pixel LED Driver The RC4 LumenDimPixMicro is an ultra-compact wireless DMX pixel driver designed specifically for installations where space is extremely limited, making it ideal for costumes, handheld props, miniatures and compact scenic applications. Despite its miniature size, the LumenDimPixMicro delivers the same advanced functionality as the award-winning LumenDimPix, including patented RC4 Custom Pixel Profiles™, wireless CRMX control, RC4 ColorMatch™, and extensive pixel protocol compatibility. This version features an integrated onboard chip antenna, eliminating the need for an external antenna assembly. Overview Built around the LumenRadio CRMX / CRMX2 wireless platform, the RC4 LumenDimPixMicro enables designers to create sophisticated pixel-based lighting effects quickly and efficiently while dramatically reducing DMX channel requirements. The driver supports two independent pixel strings of up to 500 pixels each, allowing control of up to 1000 pixels from within a single DMX universe using as few as 3 DMX channels through RC4’s patented Custom Pixel Profiles™ technology. The compact unenclosed circuit-board design allows the unit to fit into very small spaces where traditional pixel drivers would be impractical. Key Features Miniature wireless CRMX pixel driver Integrated onboard chip antenna Supports up to 1000 pixel LEDs Controls two independent pixel strings Patented RC4 Custom Pixel Profiles™ Massive DMX channel reduction RC4 ColorMatch™ colour calibration Wireless and wired RDM support Compact unenclosed PCB format Firmware updates via RC4 CodeLoader™ Wide compatibility with popular pixel chipsets RC4 Custom Pixel Profiles™ Conventional pixel mapping consumes enormous numbers of DMX channels, often requiring multiple universes and complex programming systems. RC4 Custom Pixel Profiles™ dramatically reduce channel usage by moving keyframe pattern generation and duplication directly into the driver itself. This enables designers to create repeating patterns, segmented effects and animated looks while using far fewer DMX channels. Complex pixel installations can therefore be controlled from standard lighting consoles without the need for media servers or advanced multi-universe setups. Pixel Protocol Compatibility The LumenDimPixMicro supports a wide range of industry-standard pixel protocols, making it exceptionally versatile for professional lighting applications. Supported protocols include: WS2811 / WS2812 WS2801 SK6812RGBW UCS8904RGBW TM1814RGBW APA102 / APA104 LPD8806 HD108 MY9231 (with optional clock adaptor) Additional pixel types can be added through firmware updates using RC4 CodeLoader™. RC4 ColorMatch™ Pixel strings from different manufacturers often display variations in colour balance and LED calibration. RC4 ColorMatch™ allows individual correction of each string to ensure consistent colour reproduction across an entire installation. Pixel colour order correction is also handled internally by the driver, allowing different string types to work together seamlessly from the same DMX source without visible colour inconsistencies. Connectivity & Installation The LumenDimPixMicro includes a standard RC4 mini-plug DMX port which can function as either a wired DMX input or wireless DMX output. The compact PCB assembly is available with several connection options including: Tyco/Amp MTA-100 6-pin connector Mini screw terminal option Direct solder connection option for maximum compactness Extensive RDM support is available in both wired and wireless configurations when used with compatible transmitters. Wireless Performance All RC4 LumenDimPixMicro units include a genuine LumenRadio TiMo CRMX2 radio module, ensuring compatibility with CRMX2, CRMX Classic, and Wireless Solution transmitters operating in G3, G4, G4S and G5 modes. The integrated onboard omnidirectional chip antenna keeps the overall size exceptionally small, while an alternative version with external u.fl antenna connection is also available for applications requiring extended range.
