Pixi-Flex
A Flexible LED Colour Changer

Pixi-Flex is a miniature self contained LED colour changer. It is consists of individual pixels moulded onto a cable. Each pixel is individually controlled, and measures just 34mm in diameter with a 17mm lens.

Pixi-Flex uses the latest 'point source' RGB LED technology. The technology creates both an exceptionally bright white light output and an enhanced colour palette with a superior range of pastel colours and tints.

Pixi-Flex is a novel design. It receives power and data via a miniature 4 pin cable. A total of 32 Pixels or 2 Pixi-Flex can be driven from a single cable. The controller, Pixi-Power SB12, can control 5 circuits, 160 pixels in total. Each pixel can be either individually addressed or controlled as a group. Pixi-Flex contains a custom silicon chip that received high speed data from the controller. This allows each Pixel to be controlled at the speeds required for video display.

The click together cabling and light weight nature of Pixi-Flex opens a range of applications. Each pixel can be surface mounted using the integral 3mm thread, or simply push-fit into a suitable hole in almost any structure or cloth. This flexibility makes Pixi-Flex a perfect solution for star cloths, pixilated colour walls and video wall applications. When combined with Colour-Tramp, Pixi-Flex can display live video in real time and merge it with dynamic visual effects.
