Why R3 for DJs & Creators (Portable Pixel Power with DMX512)
Portable enough for ride-shares, powerful enough for a headline look. R3 is a tidy led matrix display—a true matrix led unit—built around 36×8W RGBW LEDs. The square face plays nicely with other rgb light panels, while clean edges make stacking and splicing intuitive. Bright pixels, smooth fades, and tight beams read clearly to audiences and phone cameras alike.
- Backpack-friendly: 50×50×12 cm, 6.8 kg—ride-share ready.
- Pixel clarity on video: tight optics + stable dimming reduce exposure “breathing”.
- Fast control: Auto/Sound for speed; DMX512 when your led arrays need frame-perfect cues.
What Creators Love About R3
36×8W RGBW Color Depth (Made for Cameras)
The led panel rgb engine produces saturated hues and clean whites that grade well in post. Skin tones stay natural; neon accents stay crisp—ideal for Reels, TikTok, Shorts, or YouTube sets.
Pixel Macros in 4/12/144ch — Go Quick or Go Surgical
Need a look in 10 seconds? Use built-in macros on 4ch or 12ch. Want to push a custom chase across the matrix display pixel by pixel? Jump to 144ch and program it like a miniature screen.
Stepless Strobe That Reads Clean on Socials
Stepless strobe helps you find flicker-friendly rates (lighting-dependent) so banding doesn’t ruin your clip. Pair with gentle haze for sharp yet elegant beams from your matrix led lights.
Three Clip-Ready Effects (Copy These Recipes)
Center Burst — Logo Reveal / Drop Trigger
Recipe: Inner 3×3 to white; outer ring rainbow; rise 0.3 s; blackout 0.1 s → repeat on downbeat.
Tip: Preload a static logo on the outer ring with the led matrix panel, then pop the inner burst on impact.
EQ Meter — Sound-Reactive “Levels”
Recipe: Sound mode mid/high sensitivity; map vertical columns to mids; dimmer 70–90%; keep whites for peaks.
On 144ch, offset columns one step for a left-to-right “wave” the audience can literally see.
Checker Flash — Old-School Shutter Effect
Recipe: Alternate cells at 1/4 beat; strobe 8–10 Hz; dimmer 90–100%; color = white or desaturated cools.
Add a two-frame color invert (cool→warm) between hits to make the led array light feel filmic.
Pack-and-Go Rig Tips (Small Case, Fast Build, Tidy Cables)
- Mount & aim: 5–10° upward tilt adds depth and minimizes lens glare; aim slightly above eye level.
- Haze matters: A light haze makes beams from your led grid “3D” on camera—don’t overdo it in small rooms.
- Control in the wild: Sound mode for pop-ups; DMX512 for BPM-locked transitions and scene-by-scene cues.
- Cable sanity: Short DMX jumpers, right-angle power, and a soft case keep matrix panels organized.

Buying Notes & Perks (Start Small, Scale Smart)
Begin with one R3 and add panels as your bookings grow. Horizontal or vertical splicing lets you build a micro wall or a lightweight frame without re-rigging the stage. We make the first step easy with free shipping (eligible orders), a 2-year warranty, and small-batch orders so you can test before investing in a larger led matrix display.
FAQ (Buyer-Friendly)
Can one R3 fill a small bar, bedroom studio, or livestream corner?
Yes—one unit handles livestreams and pop-ups. For a wider look, add a second and splice horizontally into a micro pixel wall.
Will the strobe or chases flicker on camera?
The stepless strobe and stable 0–100% linear dimming help you find clean shutter/ISO pairings. Test a short clip in your usual setup before going live.
Do I need DMX to get these effects?
No. Start with built-in macros in Auto/Sound. DMX512 with 4/12/144ch unlocks pixel-by-pixel control when you’re ready to program the led matrix panel like a tiny screen.
Is it really backpack-friendly?
At 50×50×12 cm and 6.8 kg, it fits ride-shares and small flight cases. Use short jumpers and right-angle power to keep cables tidy.
What about shipping, warranty, and small orders?
Eligible orders get free shipping and a 2-year warranty. We welcome small-batch orders so you can test the rig before scaling your matrix led setup.
