T-8000 TTL LED Pixel Controller | 8 Ports

Professional-Grade Offline Pixel Control for Massive LED Installations

The T-8000 TTL series (including the "Elite Pro" version shown) is a professional 8-port LED pixel controller designed for large, permanent, or standalone installations. Unlike real-time controllers that require a constant PC connection, this device runs off an SD card . Once you design your light show on your computer, you save the file to the card, plug it into the T-8000, and it runs your sequence automatically every time it's powered on.

This makes it the perfect "set it and forget it" solution for commercial signage, permanent residential displays, and touring stage setups where a laptop is not practical.

Key Technical Specifications

Key Features & Capabilities

1. Massive 8,192 Pixel Capacity
The controller features eight high-speed output ports. Each port can handle up to 1,024 pixels, giving you the ability to control massive LED matrices or long pixel bar runs from a single unit .

2. Offline SD Card Playback (The Main Feature)

• Standalone Operation: Design complex sequences using LEDEdit on your Windows PC. Export the file to an SD card. The T-8000 reads the card and plays the show automatically when powered on .

• 16 Program Slots: The controller can store up to 16 different sequences (00_1.led to 15_1.led) on the SD card. You can select which one to play using the front panel buttons .

• SD Card Specs: Use standard SD cards (128MB to 2GB) formatted to FAT/FAT32 for maximum compatibility .

3. Real-time Control Options (Model Dependent)

• Standalone (SD Card): Perfect for retail displays, Christmas light shows, and architectural lighting.

• DMX512 Input (T-8000C / Pro models): Some variants allow you to connect a professional lighting console for live busking control.

• Art-net (Network): Higher-end models connect to a local network to receive real-time data from software like Madrix or Resolume.

4. Wide IC & Voltage Compatibility (5V-24V)
The controller supports a vast library of LED driver ICs including WS2811, WS2812B, APA102, UCS1903, and TM1804 .

• Note on Wiring: It supports both 3-wire (DAT, GND, VCC) for single-signal ICs like WS2812B and 4-wire (DAT, CLK, GND, VCC) for clocked ICs like APA102 or WS2801 .

5. Onboard LCD Menu & Speed Control
The integrated LCD screen allows you to change settings without a computer:

• Browse Programs: Scroll through P-01 to P-16 to select your preloaded show.

• Adjust Speed: Change the playback speed (S-01 to S-19) in real-time.

• Set Chip Type: Use the "SET" button on the interface to match the LED chip protocol of your lights .

6. Rugged Construction
Housed in a durable black metal casing (with visible venting on the image), it is designed for continuous operation and includes physical mounting ears for rack or wall installation .

How to Use (Workflow)

1. Design: Use LEDEdit (free software from the manufacturer) to create your light effect or text scroll.
