Light matrix

[wormsas]

We are planning to create 20x50 light matrix or maybe bigger. For light we will use light paper, which powered by 90-130v DC, but every peace has converter 12V DC to 90-130V DC. So i think it will be better choice to create all controlling with couple high power converters from 220V DC to 90-130V DC. I have one idea to use dmx, but it's limited to 1024 devices, also if I use this solution I can't create bigger matrix and it's not best choice for matrix controlling. Also if do with this solution I need to connect every light source to main station. Maybe it's easier to create matrix connection, but I don't know what controlling solution to use for this size and power of matrix. Maybe you can help me and offer how to controlling.

Commercial displays are formed by many independent modules, working together. Each modules would be a DMX devices, say a 10x10 array, that would give you a max array size of 102400 elements. Larger arrays could be made by using larger module sizes.

So best solution to control EL (technical info: **broken link removed**) it's also use dmx?

You want 20x50 lights and I saw a 6 inch by 4 inch light. How big???
I agree you can not afford 1000 of the 12V to 100V inverters.

Yes, it is very big. But it's true. As I said earlier 20 x 50( maybe 70) peaces.
