LED Pixel Control with a Gate SPI Wired

Supported LED IC Protocols

Your device is part of the Gates SPI family of controllers and is designed to work with a wide range of digital LED strips. For a detailed list of all LED IC protocols compatible with your device and others in the Gates SPI family, please review the following article in our Help Center: Supported LED IC Protocols.

This article contains a comprehensive table that will help you easily identify your device's compatibility with different types of LED strips we’ve tested.

Frame-rate

The maximum frame-rate at which the pixels are refreshed is proportional to the number of pixel control channels being driven from the pixel control output.

For example if only 3 control channels are being used for a single RGB pixel connected to the output then the frame rate will be greater than 500FPS (frames per second).

If the control output has the maximum number of pixels assigned and all 2400 control channels are being used then the maximum frame rate achievable is 27.8FPS.

Please note that the Gate SPI Wired controller outputs are configured to control 600 3-channel pixels with a frame-rate of 50FPS by default. If your installation uses more pixels, do not forget adjusting the output settings in the Gate’s WebApp before testing.
