QolorPIX IS PIXEL CONTROL MADE EASY
QolorPIX Pixel Controlled LED Tape is designed for the most demanding professional applications, with 48 individually controlled LED lights per meter. Each reel of tape includes a soldered-on four-pin XLR connector on one end, creating a plug and play connection to the QolorPIX Tape Controller to create thousands of effects, including chases, fades, scrolls, bursts, and more.
