American Lighting DEC-DMX-SPI Decoder for Pixel Tape & Neon, 5-24V DC, 510 RGB / 512 RGBW Channels

American Lighting DEC-DMX-SPI Decoder — Pixel Addressing & Sequencing for Pixel Tape and Neon

The American Lighting DEC-DMX-SPI Decoder allows for pixel addressing or sequencing of pixel tape light. Pair with DMX512 controllers or compatible DMX software programs to create dynamic and unique chasing or color fading effects. Features a built-in OLED display and function keys for on-device configuration — no computer required for basic setup.
