This item no longer for individual sale. NOTE: This controller has been replaced with the new V3 controller:
http://www.holidaycoro.com/product-p/721-v3.htm
The new V3 controller (link above) has the following changes:
- Vertical (as opposed to a horizontal) CAT5 Ethernet Jack
- Resistor packs on SPI outputs (allows for customization to certain types of cables - not typically used)
Video Overview (Shows V1)

Hooking up the AlphaPix 16
Configuring Network Setup for the AlphaPix 16
All AlphaPix configuration, setup and troubleshooting information and videos can be found on our AlphaPix Support Page in the Knowledge Base.Q: Can I use the AlphaPix controllers with my LOR S3/S4 software and/or with my existing LOR Legacy Controllers?A: Yes, all our controllers, including the AlphaPix line work perfectly fine with LOR S3/S4 Advanced software. For more details and a complete list of the options of mixing E1.31 controllers and LOR can be found in our Knowledge Base. Q: Do the AlphaPix controllers require a "dongle" to work with LOR Software?A: No, the AlphaPix controllers connect directly to your PC or to your local network. See our Knowledge Base article for additional details and diagrams.

Product Features
All AlphaPix configuration, setup and troubleshooting information can be found on our AlphaPix Support Page.
- General Information
- This is the second generation (V2) of our AlphaPix controller and it now features more current carrying capacity with a completely new 4 layer, 8oz Copper board and a host of other new features
- The AlphaPix 16 is designed for high density pixel based projects such as pixel matrix panels, pixel MegaTrees and house outlines.
- The built-in, backlit LCD panel allows for easy configuration of most settings (pixel type, channels, IP address settings, etc) and to monitor the units settings. Additionally, it is possible to trigger the built-in test sequences right from the LCD interface. Features five push buttons for control of the LCD functions.
- Three additional LED status lights for monitoring controller state including E1.31 data input
- Automated fan control using a standard CPU cooler fan
- Input voltage monitor (viewable from LCD and webpage)
- Per output RGB color mapping
- Lowest cost commercial 16 output, full featured controller on the market today
