Harness the power of your pixels

Advatek PixLite® A4-S Mk3
Harness the power of your pixels

The perfect choice when you need high output capacity in the same area, the PixLite® A4-S Mk3 pixel controller drives up to 4,080 RGB pixels and has four outputs for four runs of pixels. The device also supports daisy-chaining devices, has smart electronic fusing and powered pixel outputs.

  • 24 universes of Art-Net or sACN
  • Four powered pixel outputs
  • Over 60+ pixel protocols supported
  • microSD card slot for Advatek SHOWTime™
  • Auxiliary port for DMX512 In/Out
  • Configure using Advatek Assistant 3 or any web browser
  • Electrical fault protection on all ports
  • Five-year warranty and global certifications

Unforgettable results for commercial applications

Powerful operational functionality and advanced management platforms drive up to six universes of data on each of its four outputs (24U total) – that's up to 1020 RGB of powered pixels. These features provide incredible, scalable value for your lighting project. Compared to similar products, you'll need fewer Advatek controllers to manage the same number of pixels, producing a low cost per pixel output, an unrivalled cost per universe, and the highest value per controllable pixel.

With a sleek, compact design; easy mounting options; high output capacity; intuitive management software; and electrical fault protection on all inputs and outputs, it’s ideally suited to commercial and industrial applications.

Advatek's Mk3 family of pixel controllers is tested and certified for professional and commercial applications. Wherever your project is, you can confidently deploy an Advatek pixel solution with class-leading value, performance and features. Enjoy peace of mind knowing that your system is tested to the highest standards of quality and design, is protected electrically, won't interfere with other building management and control systems or affect other sensitive RF, network and communications infrastructure.

Advatek equipment is proudly made in Australia for ultimate manufacturing quality control and is also covered by an industry leading, five-year product warranty for your absolute peace of mind.

Powered by the mighty PixLite® Mk3 processor

PixLite® Mk3 is Advatek's state-of-the-art processor. It uses sophisticated third generation firmware to enable totally unforgettable lighting displays.

Advatek PixLite® Mk3 control board
01

Gamma correction for pixels of all resolutions. Dimming curves can be adjusted to better match the human eye, no longer limited to pixels above 8-bits. Pixels will appear more vivid and accurate.

02

Extremely fast refresh rates. The Mk3 processor can handle hundreds of frames per second, allowing for fast and dynamic effects displayed with higher reliability.

03

Dithering. Artificially generate higher resolution pixel control, to make low-resolution pixels appear much higher.

04

Dynamic adjustment. Thanks to Auto-Sync, the outgoing frame rate will dynamically adjust to the incoming frame, even without an external synchronization source. This reduces the chance of out-of-sync pixel systems and tearing.

Advatek A4-S
Advatek A4-S

Electronic fuse control and monitoring on pixel outputs with auto-recovery. With smart electronic fuses on our A-series controllers, the Mk3 processor is able to recognize an electronic trip and will attempt to automatically re-enable power output to the device.

Advatek A4-S Aluminium base thermal protection

In-built thermal performance with a solid aluminum base. Use any input voltage between 5 - 24V, without worrying about heat build-up and external cooling solutions, there's one built-in.

With expanded mode enabled, control up to 8 pixel outputs.

Freely alter clocked pixel types with adjustable speeds. A function that allows you to optimize refresh rate with data cable performance. Pixel mapping options are available on every output. This means the way pixels appear can be controlled. Create zig-zag patterns, change the color order, group pixels together or reverse them, utilize null pixels or limit their brightness – there are so many customizable options!
