LED Pixel Protocol HD108

Overview

Building upon the expansive feature set of HD107S, HD108 boasts an even more impressive design, featuring 16 bit operation and a higher PWM rate. The control circuit and LEDs are integrated in a 5050 SMD package, which provides a small physical footprint for each pixel.

Current Control

HD108 has the ability to digitally control the current of the connected LEDs. Use the 5-bit current control per color to lower the brightness without sacrificing resolution, and tune the current of individual colors, allowing for more accurate color mixing. This individual current control can be set when configuring your PixLite Mk3 controller.

Considerations for Use

Advantages

  • Presence of a clock allows for faster refresh rates
  • High PWM rate allows for filming these pixels with cameras up to 900fps
  • 16 bits of data for each color makes dimming curves very smooth

Disadvantages

  • Limited to 5V, causing short cable lengths
  • No redundancy in data
