AC-1012 Art-Net sACN to SPI Controller Board

AC-1012 Art-Net sACN to SPI Controller Board

The AC-1012 converts Art-Net and sACN network data into SPI signals for pixel LED strips and fixtures. Supporting up to 12 universes.

Dual Ethernet ports with an integrated switch allow multiple boards to be connected in a daisy chain. Centralized management software lets you adjust IP addresses, universe assignments, and other settings over the network—even after the fixtures are installed.
