Today I am doing an overview of some new controllers I got. A friend told me about them, so I decided to swap some controllers out and give these a shot. The Genius controllers have some innovative features that I lked and figured would be useful. I have three of them in my show now. I am impressed with these ease of setup and operation. I have had no problems.
Some Specs:
Supports 5 thru 24v
1 Ethernet Port
16 x 3-pin spring loaded terminals (no phoenix connectors or screw down terminals)
16 x automatically resettable fuses (no replacing blown fuses)
Supported protocols: DDP, E1.31, ArtNet
Outputs the most common 3-wire WS281X pixel protocol.
2 independent power input banks, with reverse polarity protection. (12V only)
2 x RJ45 ports for long range receivers
2 x RJ45 ports for DMX output
Configuration can be done via your smartphone, tablet or PC over a wifi or wired connection
Per port current monitoring (RTCM: Real time current Monitoring)
Per port pixel counting
Automatic fault detection can find burnt out pixels, before you can*
Repair mode highlights where you need to splice to remove failed pixels*
SD card slot for log storage, and standalone operation*
Simple & fast over-the-air updates; with ability to easily roll back to previous firmware versions
Rich JSON API
Built-in test mode animations
Future remote monitoring via a mobile app; free to single-site residential customers
Seamlessly control up to ~10,000 pixels using e1.31/artnet, or ~20,000 pixels using DDP.
No banks or groups. Pixels can be distributed however you’d like on any outputs, with any number of pixels assigned to each port.
