Both types of tape have 48 LEDs per meter, 5 meters in length, black backing, 4pin XLR connector on one end, and use chipset WS2812B.
Q16. Can I extend the reels of QolorPIX Pixel Controlled LED Tape?
A16. No. If you are using the QolorPIX Pixel Controlled LED Tape with City Theatrical’s QolorPIX Tape Controller, you should not extend the reel beyond 5 meters (240 LEDs) since each port on the Tape Controller can only drive one reel of tape.

| Creating Dynamic Pixel Controlled Effects at American Dream Meadowlands in Rutherford, New Jersey | Ever wonder how professional lighting and scenic designers achieve pixel controlled effects for architectural installations? According to the team at Quantum Creative Studios, QolorPIX Pixel Controlled LED Tape and QolorPIX Tape Controllers were tools that helped them achieve their vision in the theme park at American Dream Meadowlands in East Rutherford, NJ. | |
| QolorPIX Pixel Control at the Vince Lombardi Trophy Replica Lighting at Super Bowl Live in Atlanta, Georgia |
Working under an exceptionally tight timeline, the RMRK creative production agency was looking for a turn-key pixel tape and controller solution to add dynamic lighting to the iconic Vince Lombardi Trophy replica, an outdoor 25-foot statue which was the backdrop for Super Bowl LIII events before and after the game in Atlanta, Georgia. The trophy’s pixel controlled LED lighting solution would need to be programmable, such that it could coordinate with musical performances by Atlanta-based artists like Jermaine Dupri and Ludacris. The ideal pixel-based lighting solution would offer plug and play installation and operation using industry standard XLR extensions. The RMRK team chose City Theatrical’s QolorPIX Pixel Controlled LED Tape and Tape Controller as the solution to provide plug and play pixel effects over the trophy’s sides, shield, and football seams. With overnight delivery and 4-pin XLRM connectors soldered to the end of each reel of QolorPIX tape, the team was able to quickly and easily install and program this pixel control solution. “QolorPIX solved many of our challenges – weather, controller distance, brightness – with a single, off-the-shelf solution. ” - Rob Kodadek, Co-Founder & Executive Creative Director, RMRK |

| QolorPIX Tree Lighting at the Christmas Spectacular at Baptist Falls Church Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin |
Falls Baptist Church was looking for a way to enhance the lighting of their annual Christmas Spectacular event, with performances that attract and inspire thousands of people from the surrounding communities. With the help of a new professional lighting designer as part of their creative team, they developed ideas to illuminate the stage and over 100 performers with dynamic lighting effects. The lighting designer looked for a foundational lighting element that could be used throughout the entire show. Since the scenic design was minimal, there were limited options when it came to building in lighting fixtures that could support each musical movement. Pixel tape seemed to be a practical solution, but the team needed tape that was easy to install and use, and could play throughout the show without repeating an effect. Six reels of QolorPIX Pixel Controlled LED Tape, driven by an ETC ION console to the QolorPIX Tape Controller, worked as the unique lighting solution to dynamically light three Christmas Trees with color and dimension, with plug and play effects ranging from one and two color paparazzi, comets, and beyond. “QolorPIX was so easy work with. Within an hour, I was able to control the pixel tape and record multiple presets.” - Derek Welker, Freelance Lighting Designer, Falls Baptist Church |
