Looking for SRx2 V5...

[pete]

I may be new here, but am I missing something obvious as to where on the store website I could fin the SRx2 V5 diff receivers?  I would like to order a F48V5 and like 12 of the SRx2 V5 receivers (looking forward to the current draw reporting coming back from the diff receivers) but I can only find this webpage https://pixelcontroller.com/store/long-range-expansion/83-srx2.html which doesn't say one way or another which type it is.

I only ask because there IS two different pages for the SRx1 V4 and V5 diff receivers, so I assumed there would be the same for SRx2, but also maybe they are just too new and not even out in the wild yet? (I did see someone post on the forum about using some so maybe they do exist)

Thanks for any insight!

Only a PSU mount version of the SRx2 v5 is released so far https://pixelcontroller.com/store/long-range-expansion/89-srx2-psu-v-efuse.html

You'd need to contact Pixel Controller re the non PSU mount version and when they plan to start selling that.

Actually the PSU mount version might be preferable for me.  I had tried contacting them through the website contact form but haven't heard back.

Thanks, I will try ordering a few of these before I go nuts and order a bunch.  Trying to figure out the cheapest / highest density system to build a reliable / repeatable system for modular 3D Pixel Arrays.

Edit:  Oh Also, I was curious what this means in the description:

The two sets of 4 ports share the pixel data on the receiver chain.

Does that mean that is will be part of the "ABCDEF" of the same port numbers as defined by the little ID wheel?  AKA I could set an SRx2 to "A" and the 8 ports would be four "A"s and four "B"s?  or does it mean that no matter what, each two ports on the SRx2 will only send the exact same pixel data out of them?  I'm assuming the first one but the description isn't the clearest.

That is correct

Just remember your limited on your pixel number.  One srx2 only gets 4ch of lights.  So 1024 x4. And if you plan on chaining them it splits even more, but total your still stuck with 1024 x4.  17a, 17b, 17c, 17d, etc can't be more than 1024.  

 And then if you use more than 720pixels on a channel you lose 40hz capabilities on that channel.  

This might be well known, but I Just ran into these problems myself.
