The deskontroller LITE V3 — 32 universes is the fastest model in the range for projects where motion smoothness, fast chases, and reliable camera-friendly playback matter more than maximum total universes.
It handles 32 Art-Net universes (16,384 DMX channels) and up to 5,440 RGB pixels or 4,096 RGBW pixels per device, with direct Art-Net-to-SPI conversion and no extra decoder hardware in the signal path.
Its compact, rugged format fits touring rigs, retail features, XR setups, pop-up installations, and compact to mid-size pixel mapping projects where clean wiring, stable playback, and fast deployment matter.
Designed and manufactured in Europe, deskontroller LITE V3 combines professional performance, simple web-based setup, and dependable day-to-day operation in a controller that is easy to integrate and easy to maintain.
deskontroller LITE V3 fits directly into standard Art-Net pixel mapping workflows. It works with leading control and media software including MADRIX, Resolume, MadMapper, TouchDesigner, MA/GrandMA (via Art-Net), ChamSys MagicQ, xLights, QLC+, Jinx!, and more.
Patch your Art-Net universes, assign outputs, and the controller converts Art-Net to SPI with stable timing and no extra decoder stage in the signal path. This keeps integration simple, reduces system complexity, and helps maintain clean, reliable playback.
With the 32-universe model, the focus is maximum FPS headroom within the LITE V3 range, making it especially well suited to fast effects, smooth transitions, and camera-friendly playback in compact to mid-size projects.
If you already work in an Art-Net environment, deskontroller LITE V3 is easy to slot into your existing workflow without changing software, redesigning your network, or adding unnecessary hardware.
deskontroller LITE V3 is built around 8 RJ45 connectors that distribute up to 32 physical data lines. In standard mode, each RJ45 carries 4 data outputs (D1, D2, D3, and D4), giving you a clean and flexible way to distribute pixel lines without extra output boxes or unnecessary wiring complexity.
Using the 8 included RJ45-to-terminal adapters, you can connect strips, nodes, and custom pixel assemblies quickly while keeping the controller in a central rack or control position. With UTP CAT6 runs of up to 100 m from controller to first pixel, it becomes much easier to feed separate zones, scenic elements, and architectural features from a single device.
• 8 RJ45 connectors for data distribution
• Up to 32 physical data lines in standard mode
• Includes 8x RJ45-to-terminal adapters
• UTP CAT6 up to 100 m from controller to first pixel
• Supports both standard mode and V1 mode
Use this mode when you want the maximum number of active output lines. It is the best fit for distributed layouts where many separate strips, zones, or fixtures need their own output path.
In V1 mode, universes are paired per active output. This is useful when each line needs more pixel capacity while keeping the same total universes on the controller.
All setup happens in your browser, with no drivers or extra software required. Log in by IP and access a clear web interface with dedicated sections for Network, Art-Net, Outputs, Color, and Status.
This makes deployment faster and day-to-day operation easier. Network settings can be adapted to your show VLAN or dedicated control network, while Art-Net settings let you define universe numbering, subnet/net structure, and output assignment in a clear and predictable way.
At output level, you can choose chipset type, color order, brightness limits, and how universes are mapped across strips, panels, or pixel assemblies. This makes the controller flexible enough for both straightforward installations and more complex layouts.
The Color and Status sections help fine-tune the final result and monitor system health. You can balance different LED batches, improve visual consistency, and keep an eye on FPS and signal behaviour to spot issues quickly during setup or operation.
Keeping deskontroller LITE V3 up to date is quick and straightforward. The web updater lets you install new firmware in well under a minute, with no special cables or external tools required. This makes it easy to roll out improvements, new IC support, and stability updates without adding service complexity.
Before installation or showtime, built-in standalone tests help verify zones and outputs without relying on the media server. Solid colors, chases, gradients, and output tests make it easier to detect wiring issues, reversed data order, loose connections, or patching mistakes before they become on-site problems.
For day-to-day operation, the Status section gives useful real-time visibility into FPS and signal behaviour, helping you distinguish whether an issue is coming from the network, the patch, or the LED line itself.
Designed for reliable long-term use, deskontroller LITE V3 combines fast firmware maintenance, practical test tools, and stable hardware behaviour in a controller that is easy to keep ready for production.
deskontroller LITE V3 supports 100+ addressable LED ICs across the most common families used in professional pixel projects, including WS, SK, APA, TM, UCS, LPD, HD/INK, and more.
You can configure chipset type, color order, and output behaviour per line, making it easier to work with mixed installations, different LED batches, and a wide range of strips, nodes, and custom pixel products.
Data logic is 5 V, while LED power can be supplied at 5 / 12 / 24 V as required by the LEDs themselves. For long runs or higher-density layouts, combine UTP CAT6 distribution with proper power injection to maintain brightness and color consistency across the installation.

All LITE V3 models share the same hardware platform: 8 RJ45 connectors distributing up to 32 physical data lines (4 data outputs per RJ45 in standard mode).
V1 mode (Setup → Outputs → “Enable V1 mode”) keeps the same total universes while switching to 16 active outputs and doubling universes per active output.
** Indicative maximum FPS with data-only strips (~800 kb/s). Actual caps depend on mapping per output, host PC, and control software.
*** Universe math at 8-bit: ≈170 RGB or ≈128 RGBW pixels per universe.
