deskontroller LITE V3 — 64 universes Art-Net Pixel Controller

What the 64U is and where it fits best

The deskontroller LITE V3 64U is the natural next step in the range when the project needs more capacity per output without giving up the same physical architecture of up to 32 data outputs.

Compared with the 32U, this version keeps the same installation logic, but allows more universes per line, making it a better fit when each strip, fixture, or zone needs more load before moving to higher models.

• Installations with less need to split lines and more need for capacity per output
• Projects where a clear architecture still matters, but each active line needs more load
• Integrations with strips or pixels that already exceed the natural distribution of the 32U
• Setups that need a balance between physical distribution and higher density per output

What this model delivers

In the LITE V3 range, the 64U brings a clear jump in total capacity and universes per output:

In normal mode, this model works with 2 universes per output. In V1 / clock, it moves to 4 universes per active output, while keeping the same total 64 universes in the controller.

In practical terms, the 64U is the right option when you want to keep a clear output structure but need more capacity per line than the 32U can provide.

How outputs are distributed in a real installation

The deskontroller LITE V3 uses the same physical architecture across the whole range: 8 RJ45 output connectors that, through adapters, let you work with up to 32 physical data lines.

In real-world installations, the logic is straightforward: from the controller you run CAT6 UTP to the adapter, and from there you connect the pixel line or lines depending on the operating mode of that port.

• Up to 100 metres of CAT6 UTP between the deskontroller and the adapter, depending on the installation
• Normal mode: up to 4 outputs per RJ45 connector
• V1 or clocked families: 2 active outputs per RJ45 connector
• The physical architecture stays the same; what changes between models is the universe capacity per output

This approach helps distribute the installation more cleanly, avoid unnecessary concentration on each line, and take advantage of one of the key strengths of the system: 32 physical outputs to distribute load with real criteria.

Universes per output in the 64U

In the 64U, the key shift is no longer just keeping many active lines, but getting more universes per output without changing the physical architecture of the system.

This model is especially useful when you need more capacity per line, but without moving yet into the higher-density territory of the 96U, 128U, or above.

In normal mode, the adapter delivers 4 outputs using D1, D2, D3 and D4. In V1 or clock, it works with 2 active outputs using D1 and D2.

The key idea is simple: the physical architecture does not change; what changes is how many universes each output can carry depending on the model.

Integration with standard software and Web UI

The deskontroller LITE V3 64U is designed to integrate into standard Art-Net workflows without forcing you into proprietary software.

If you need to review compatible software, network structure, or step-by-step setup, the full documentation is available on deskontroller.com.

Compatible with the LED pixel families commonly used in real projects

The system is compatible with a wide range of LED pixel families used in professional integration, including clockless and clocked options, in both RGB and RGBW configurations.

• Compatibility with more than 100 IC families
• Support for clockless and clocked signal types
• Works with RGB and RGBW strips or pixels
• LED power is independent from the controller
• Protocol family, colour order, and RGB/RGBW mode are configured globally on the unit

For compatibility details, IC families, and protocol selection criteria, see the dedicated guide on deskontroller.com.

Art-Net hardware for serious installations, with real support

The deskontroller LITE V3 64U is built for integrators, lighting professionals, rental, AV, and studios that need an Art-Net controller that is clear to configure, stable in the installation, and easy to document.

It keeps the approach that defines the deskontroller range: 32 physical outputs, no proprietary software, European manufacturing, and a 5-year warranty.
