FAQ
What is LED pixel mapping software?
LED pixel mapping software lets you design your LED layout digitally and map video or animations to each pixel. LSS4 handles layout design, content playback, show synchronization, and exporting programs to hardware.
Does LSS4 run on macOS?
Yes. LSS4 runs natively on macOS with full Apple Silicon (M1/M2+) support and also works on Windows 10/11 (64-bit). Project files are compatible across both platforms.
How many LED pixels can LSS4 handle?
LSS4 can smoothly run 200,000+ RGB pixels, with performance scaling based on your hardware.
Can I synchronize LED shows to music or external timecode?
Yes. LSS4 supports internal clock, music sync (.wav/.mp3), and MIDI MTC for external timecode synchronization.
Which LED IC chips does LSS4 support?
LSS4 supports 80+ LED chip types, including APA102, WS2811, WS2812, SK6812, TM1809, and more. Data is sent to the LEC3 controller, which converts it for the specific chip.
