This device has been designed for indoor use only. Do not expose the unit to direct
sunlight. Do not allow this product to meet liquids. Electrical shock could result. Also,
damage to the product, smoke, and overheating could result from contact with liquids.
Clean the device components that are accessible from the outside regularly. The clean-
ing frequency depends on the operating environment: damp, smoky or particularly dirty
environ ments can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the device components. Clean
with a dry soft cloth. Stubborn dirt can be removed with a slightly dampened cloth.
Never use solvents or alcohol for cleaning.
Establish all connections when the unit is switched off. Use the shortest possible
high-quality cables for all connections. Make sure that cables cannot cause a trip hazard.
Never touch the plug contacts with sharp or metal objects.
Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are disposed of properly and are not within
reach of babies and young children. Choking hazard!
Ensure that children do not detach any small parts (e.g. screws, connectors or the like)
from the unit. They could swallow the pieces and choke!
Never let children unattended use electrical devices.
Dispose of this device through an approved waste disposal rm or through your local

This document will introduce you to correct hardware connection of LED strips and will
provide the most important technical details about LED Strip Studio (LSS) software and
LED Ethernet Controller 3 (LEC3), SPI-Matrix and Powered LED Ethernet Controller devices.
In the following table you can see the basic differences between all 3 devices.
(*) SPI-Matrix can be upgraded to LEC3 to support LED Strip Studio software.
Contact us for more details at info@ledstripstudio.com.
Generally, SPI-Matrix is the same as LEC3, but without the support of LED Strip Studio
software – you can’t use it as LED Strip Studio software output device.
Powered LEC Ethernet Controller (Powered LEC) is the same as LEC3, but with integrated
power source (320W, 5V, 60A by default, 12 or 24V version on request).

There are many kinds of digital LED lights you can control using LEC3.
You can control digital LED strips, digital LED pixels or any other special digital lights.
They are also sometimes called dream or individual addressable LED lights.
We use “digital LEDs” or “digital pixels” in the text to address all kind of digital lights
(like LED strips, pixels, digital bulbs, …). Digital LEDs can use different kind of chip and
output protocol to control RGB LED color.
LEC3 is now able to use LED strips with SK, TM, WS or APA chips (and many more), but
we update the rmware to work with all latest control protocols.
You can use LEC3 in 4 different modes:
• Ethernet (software)
• ArtNet
• DMX
• Stand-alone (SD-card mode)
ArtNet and DMX mode can work in two different ways: Pixel or SD-card player.
In Pixel mode the DMX channels are converted directly to pixels (3 channels for every
pixel, maximum is 170 pixels per ArtNet Universe). In SD-card player you can only trigger
animation LED les stored on SD-card (so you don’t have to use complicated ArtNet or
DMX solution with tons of cables).

LED Strip Studio Software
LED Strip Studio software is the “main brain” of LED Strip Studio system.
It can be used to play video, picture or even live stream on video LED strips
(or LED pixels). This is recommended PC conguration for LED Strip Studio system.
Of course, if the conguration is better, the software will work smoother.
