SP201E DMX512 Decoder — DC 5–24V DMX Converter Controller The SP201E is a DMX512 decoder and converter controller designed to translate standard DMX512/1990 control signals into SPI addressable LED data or PWM dimming signals. It provides a direct bridge between DMX consoles and addressable LED installations or fixtures, allowing you to control complex pixel displays or conventional dimming channels from one DMX universe. Key benefits Protocol conversion: Converts DMX512/1990 signals to SPI addressable LED output or PWM dimming, letting you control modern pixel LEDs from standard DMX controllers. Wide input voltage: Operates from DC 5–24V for flexible power options across different installations. pixel capacity: Supports SPI addressable LED output for up to 1024 pixels, suitable for medium to large pixel arrays. Multichannel dimming: Provides PWM 5CH dimming signal output when PWM control is required for nonaddressable fixtures or channels. Simplifies integration: Eliminates the need for separate pixel controllers when integrating addressable LEDs into DMXbased lighting systems. Key attributes Model: SP201E Functionality: DMX512 decoder and converter controller (DMX512/1990 to SPI or PWM) Compatibility: Compliant with DMX512/1990 standard; outputs to SPI addressable LEDs (up to 1024 pixels) or PWM 5channel dimming signals Power input: DC 5–24V Outputs: SPI addressable LED data for up to 1024 pixels OR PWM 5CH dimming signal How it solves common problems Connects different ecosystems: Use the SP201E to control addressable LED strips, panels, or fixtures from legacy DMX desks without redesigning control architecture. Reduces hardware count: One SP201E can multiple singlepurpose converters by offering both SPI and PWM outputs in a single unit. Enables consistent control: Keep DMX as your primary control source while delivering precise pixellevel or multichannel PWM control at the fixture. Typical applications Stage and theatrical lighting: Drive arrays of addressable LED pixels from a DMX console to create complex moving patterns and color effects. Architectural and facade lighting: Convert DMX scenes into pixelcontrolled displays across building exteriors or signage, supporting up to 1024 pixels. Signage and custom fixtures: Use the PWM 5CH dimming output to control multichannel LED fixtures or to combine pixeldriven effects with conventional dimming. Operation notes The SP201E accepts a DMX512/1990 input and outputs either SPI addressable LED data (up to 1024 pixels) or PWM 5channel dimming signals depending on configuration. Power the unit with a DC supply between 5V and 24V as required by your LED load and installation. The SP201E provides a straightforward, protocolcompatible solution for integrating DMX control with SPI addressable LEDs or PWM dimming channels, preserving DMX workflows while enabling pixellevel and multichannel lighting effects.
