22. trip This is useful when you want to extend your fixture as the data signals in pixel strings and strips are not designed to travel over long distances Each pixel has its own IC which actually re buffers the entire data signal before passing it on to the next pixel For example by inserting some null pixels into a given length of cable before you get to the first pixel of the actual fixture the digital signal will be buffered several times allowing it to reach the actual fixture some distance away with the null pixels being skipped or ignored The other use for null pixels is when you may not want to use the entire string In this case you can simply tell the controller to ignore or skip the pixels you don t need Zig Zag Zig Zag allows pixel addresses to be allocated in a more logical order in the sequencer For example you may have a mega tree consisting of 16 strings of 50 pixels in your display Starting at the first string you would string pixels 1 50 from bottom to top and then pixels 51 100 from top to bottom in the 2nd string and so on zig zagging up and down all the way around When finished if you turned the pixels on in order from the lowest address to the highest you would see a pattern that started at the bottom of the first string and zig zagged up and down as you move around the mega tree When programming the pixels in the sequencer however its much easier if the pixels light in a more intuitive order In our ex
