SC Pixel Mini B
SC Pixel Mini B is a compact controller for digital LED strips with a 12-24 V input range and an external antenna.
Description
Section titled “Description”SC Pixel Mini B is a compact Spectoda controller for controlling addressable LED strips with up to 1,200 pixels. In current product naming, this name refers to the variant with a 12-24V input range and an external antenna.
SC Pixel Mini B is controlled wirelessly from Spectoda web applications over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Wi-Fi local area network (WLAN), or WebSocket connections. Devices automatically form a self-healing and self-managing wireless mesh network, so many luminaires can be controlled from anywhere in the installation. An external gateway module is not strictly required.
Keep the historical name SC Pixel Mini 12-24V only as an alias in older links and exports. For public documentation, the canonical name is SC Pixel Mini B.
SC Pixel Mini B can be connected in installations within the 12-24V range, making it very versatile for integrated projects and locations where an external antenna makes sense for better radio coverage.
