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.

All AlphaPix configuration, setup and troubleshooting information can be found on our AlphaPix Support Page.
- General Information
- The 4 layer, 4oz Copper board with the largest current carrying capacity in the market - up to 80 Amps
- 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 unit's settings. Additionally, it is possible to trigger the built-in test sequences right from the LCD interface without requiring sequencing or other software

- Per Output - Up to 340 pixels / 2 DMX universes (exclusive of power, see chart below)
- Each output features euro style plugs for easy assembly and removal
- Each output is clearly marked on both sides of the connector with the output number so it is always easy to find the output.
- Each output is marked with + / - / Data / Clock order to make assembly easier and error free
- RS485 Outputs
- Overall - Maximum of 1,536 DMX Channels
- Three individual RS485 ports - one DMX universe per port
