The FEL-CA1 is the compact Ethernet pixel controller \u2014 the four-port member of the CA family. ArtNet on the V1 firmware, ArtNet and sACN (E1.31) on V2, four pixel ports at 7 amps each with a 7.5A fuse on board, and the same fifteen-IC list the CA2 carries. The single DMX512 output port bridges 2\u00d7512 channels out to the decoders downstream, the web interface runs the config, and the firmware upgrades online. The body is 166\u00d7111.5\u00d731mm at 510g \u2014 a mid-size plate between the slim decoder bodies and the CA2, for the pixel installs that need Ethernet control without the sixteen-port scale.<\/p>\n
The four output ports each carry 7 amps of pixel load, with the 7.5A fuse on board protecting the run. The pixel counts run per port: 340 RGB pixels on each of the four ports \u2014 1,360 across the controller \u2014 or 256 RGBW pixels per port. That is the mid-density class: the fa\u00e7ade sections, the bar and club builds and the retail installs that outgrow a single-port decoder and don’t yet need the CA2’s sixteen.<\/p>\n
The output speaks the SPI protocols by IC name \u2014 2811, 8904, 6812, 2904, 1814, 1914, 5603, 9812, APA102, 2812, 9813, 3001, 8806, 6803 and 2801 \u2014 the designations the strips and dots carry. The list matches the CA2’s, so the stock knowledge carries across the family. Match the IC on the strip to the port config and the pixels decode as addressed; ICs beyond the list get confirmed with the sales team.<\/p>\n
The Ethernet side speaks ArtNet on the V1 firmware, and ArtNet plus sACN (E1.31) on V2 \u2014 the two protocols the lighting networks run. One network line in carries the show data for all four ports, and the controller sits on the network like any other node: the console or media server addresses it, and the pixels on the far side follow.<\/p>\n
The single DMX512 output port carries 2\u00d7512 channels out of the box \u2014 the bridge to the CV decoder family downstream. Pixels on the four ports, CV strips on the decoders, one show file driving both; the same pattern the CA2 runs, scaled to the smaller install.<\/p>\n
The config runs through the web interface \u2014 the port setup, the IC selection and the network settings in the browser \u2014 and the firmware upgrades online. The DIP plug-in design keeps the wiring side serviceable: the connections come off in plugs, so a swap or a service happens at the connector rather than at the solder.<\/p>\n
Working temperature spans -20\u00b0C to +55\u00b0C, which covers the plant rooms, the riser cabinets and the racks the controller lives in. The supply is DC5-24V with the 7.5A fuse on board, and the body is 166\u00d7111.5\u00d731mm at 510g \u2014 a flat plate for the cabinet shelf or the rack, with the terminals and the Ethernet across its face.<\/p>\n
The Ethernet range scales by port count. The CA1 is this four-port unit at 7 amps \u2014 the mid-density class. The CA2 scales to sixteen ports at 5,440 RGB pixels for the media-fa\u00e7ade builds, and the CA3 is the ArtNet-to-DMX gateway with no pixel ports at all. Below them, the CD1 adds the remote and the scheduled playback at the desktop scale, the CP2 decodes one port of 170 RGB pixels off the DMX line, and the CP1 runs the single strips on the inline RF remote. The CV decoder family hangs off the DMX outputs of them all.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
