1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
String
The Traxon String system accomplishes complex, unconventional media configurations with intelligence and
style. Sophisticated, scalable, and semi-transparent, String systems alter and enhance architectural, retail, and
hospitality environments adding unexpected character to classic scenarios. Available in full color (RGB), with or
without a diffuser dome, String gracefully incorporates graphics, text, and video into various, irregular surfaces,
resulting in unordinary media displays never before possible. String is controllable by DMX512 and e:pix/DVI input
signals, and Smart Chip technology and intelligent software allow maximum control of even the most intricate
media scenarios. Warm White and Cold White options are also available upon request.
Features:
Flexible mounting capability
Low-to-medium resolution media (graphics, text and video animations)
Outdoor rating (IP67 - String, IP66 - Pixel Distributor)
Smart Chip technology
Auto-addressing
Mesh
Mesh systems reinvent the large-scale media experience. The sophisticated, scalable, semi-transparent LED
system elegantly transforms any surface into a brilliant palette for graphics, text, and video animations in full color
(RGB). Meshs semi-transparent, durable yet flexible structure, allows it to adapt to many surfaces in various
applications, in both indoor and outdoor environments. Its acrylic grid system can also be mounted back-to-back
for dual displays, allowing bright graphics to shine, and natural light to pass through without obstructing a view or
diminishing an open-area concept. Mesh is controllable by DMX512 and e:pix/DVI input signals, and Smart Chip
technology and intelligent software allow maximum control of even the most intricate media scenarios. Warm White
and Cold White options are also available upon request.

As with all electronic devices, LED output degrades over time - a term called lumen depreciation. This also
explains why it is nearly impossible to expect photometric performances of two LED products with different service
life spans to be the same. The rate of LED degradation is a complex function of many factors such as operating
efficiency, duration of continuous operation, and operating conditions (e.g. ambient temperature).
Because LEDs are semiconductor devices, their performances are subject to inherent variability commonly found
in semiconductor industry. To improve consistency in performance across the same product. LED manufacturers
sort LEDs into bins according to different preset parameters, such as forward driving voltage, illumination, etc.
Whereas binning is a sorting function, it is not a correction process. Inherent variability in the manufacturing
process always results in different binning distributions according to different production lots. Traxon uses
automatically binned LEDs on its products, thereby minimizing output variations within the model range.
8. Warranty Statement
Traxon warrants its Products against material or workmanship defects for a period of three (3) years from date of
purchase, provided that the purchased items are used under the conditions stated in this user manual.
