The CX24 carries a 24-universe Art-Net licence for larger installs. Step down to the CX10 (10 universes) for smaller installs, or up to the CX64 (64 universes) for full media facades.
A 24-universe Art-Net licence, pre-configured with LED CTRL software on an all-in-one Raspberry Pi CM5 platform, ready to drive larger installs out of the box.
Pair the CX24 with an MX96PRO long-range transmitter for full-site X-Stream networks; a 24-universe PX24 pixel controller is its most common output target on local networks.
Yes — it ships as a pre-configured Debian image with LED CTRL software, auto-boot and its 24-universe Art-Net licence, ready to deploy on its own.
