Description
REACTIVO 2 is an Art-Net pixel controller for addressable LED installations. Every project faces the same question: what happens when the laptop goes home? This unit answers it.
The controller drives up to 1024 RGB or 768 RGBW addressable pixels. It works with any console or software that speaks Art-Net. For example, Madrix, ChamSys, grandMA, Resolume and LED Strip Studio software all control it. Moreover, it keeps playing animations from its own micro SD card when the network goes quiet.
Art-Net pixel controller on any network
Control arrives over wired Ethernet or 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. As soon as you plug in a cable, the controller switches to it automatically. In addition, a web interface, a mobile app and HTTP commands cover everyday control. Several units can also run in synchronized zones under one master.
Triggers turn it into a standalone show
Two analog trigger inputs make REACTIVO 2 a complete standalone system. Wire up a push button, switch, potentiometer or sensor. Then assign it an action: next animation, brightness, speed or blackout. Because thresholds, hysteresis and press counting are adjustable, the response stays predictable.
Key features:
Art-Net pixel mode and SD card mode with brightness, animation, speed and recolour channels
Master/slave zone synchronization for multiple controllers on one network
Support for WS2811, WS2812B, SK6812, APA102 and more — see the supported IC list
5–24 V DC input with 7 A pass-through, so one supply feeds strip and controller
Channel layout follows the Art-Net 4 specification
Where the Art-Net pixel controller fits
The enclosure measures 85 x 40 x 25 mm and weighs 47 g. Therefore it hides inside a truss clamp, a display plinth or a ceiling void. Signal cable runs of 5–10 m work in most installations. Keep that cable away from power lines to avoid noise. For longer runs, add THE SYMMETRIZER or a TTL Signal Buffer. Finally, Showtacle backs every unit with a 2-year limited warranty. Use it indoors: events, clubs, theatre, scenography, showcases and architectural lighting.
