Baldrick8 Overview

Baldrick8 Board Overview

The Baldrick8 is our flagship 8-output pixel controller, designed for professional lighting displays and large-scale installations. With support for up to 750 pixels per port at 40fps and high refresh rates, it's perfect for creating stunning visual effects.

Baldrick8 Controller Features

  • 2 ports accepting 5v–24v (or up to 48v on version 1.1) with onboard power management and the option for individual voltages (to avoid any BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOMS).
  • 8 Ports handling many pixels per port (but 750 pixels per port at 40fps)
  • 2 Power inputs (which combined with the included 7.5 amp fuses allows for full pixel runs at 100%)
  • DDP, Artnet, E1.31 & sACN compatible
  • 3 Programmable Button ports (Can use the FPP API to start / stop a sequence)
  • Small footprint compatible with other smart receiver mounts
  • No Pi or FPP Licence required
  • Push from xLights integration

In addition, we've tried to add some simple quality of life improvements such as a QR code which links directly to the manual (easy to read on a mobile in the dark) and the three buttons have not only ports but physical buttons onboard to help you test without having to hook everything up.
