Considerations for Use

Advantages

  • Up to 24V, allowing for very long cable lengths

Disadvantages

  • Low PWM rate makes theses pixels unsuitable for cameras
  • Data-only restricts refresh rates to be limited by the speed of the protocol, which can be slow
  • Only 8 bits of data for each color makes dimming curves less smooth
  • No redundancy in data
  • Narrow tolerance for timing errors, making it less reliable than TM1804
