Product Description
Visual Productions VPSpiNode Visual Productions DIN Rail 4Port SPI Ethernet Node
Overview
The SpiNode is a 4-port SPI controller engineered to effortlessly translate Art-Net and sACN into SPI, bridging the gap between lighting control and pixel-mapped installations. Designed for versatility, the SpiNode supports all major SPI chip protocols ensuring compatibility with virtually any LED fixture or custom rig. Additionally, its compact DIN Rail form factor makes it ideal for permanent installations, and dynamic architectural lighting projects.
Master every SPI project
This powerhouse device features an intuitive graphical web interface with built-in test functions, enabling lightning-fast configuration of data routing, channel mapping, and port behaviour. This will be crucial for the commissioning process, helping to easily identify universe boundaries, individual LED positions for seamless mapping, and potential faulty LED issues.
Unlock CueCore3’s full potential
When integrated with the CueCore3, the SpiNode expands your creative palette with 16 additional universes of control, transforming it into a cornerstone of highdensity LED and pixel-driven environments. It is possible to attach up to 2 SpiNodes to CueCore3, possibly unlocking up 32 universes, offering unparalleled flexibility for large-scale installations.
Test like a pro
Through its web-interface, the SpiNode offers a user friendly setting interface and test functions to assist the user during the commissioning process. These test functions help to easily identify universe boundaries, individual LED positions for an easy mapping and possible faulty LED issues.
Extend Your SPI Installation
While SPI protocol supports LED strips located within 10 meters, some installations require greater distances between the controller and the LED strip.
That’s where the SpiExtender comes in.
Designed specifically for long-distance SPI signal transmission, SpiExtender converts the standard SPI signal into a robust differential signal, enabling reliable transmission over CAT5 or higher cabling.
With support for cable runs up to 250 meters (820 feet), it opens up new possibilities for larger and more complex installations.
