PixFog™ is a pixel-based fog machine controller for Chauvet® Hurricane™ Series and ADJ® Mister Kool II, and VF Series Fog Machines.
Simply add this controller to your string of pixels as a single pixel prop and have full timing control and level of intensity of your show’s fog or snow. PixFog™ is easy to add! It is based on a single pixel’s RED channel. 50% RED brightness is 50% fog output; 100% RED brightness is 100% fog output…done.
The Chauvet® Hurricane™ 1000 series and higher are “always fog ready” after the initial warm-up. Some fog machines stop generating fog randomly when the heating element is on, this is not acceptable for a live show when you’re relying on instant fog when triggered. Consider this when purchasing or selecting a fog machine for your show.
Compatible with WS2811 / WS2812 / WS2812B (Ray Wu, Daniel Zhang, and most other LED pixel vendors). Supports 5 volt or 12 volt LED Strings and Strips.
WHY??
PixFog™ provides an alternate method of controlling specific models of Chauvet® and ADJ® Fog machines by controlling a single pixel in your show. This flexibility allows placement and control of Fog machines at the beginning, middle, or end of your pixel strings. This saves time and allows your machine to quickly adapt into your existing or new prop chains. Simply add the PixFog™ as a single pixel model into your xLights show and you’re good to go!
PixFog review from David Henry from Learn Christmas Lighting
WHY NOT USE DMX?
PixFog™ is easy to add to your show! It is based simply on a single pixel RED channel. 50% RED brightness is 50% fog output; 100% RED brightness is 100% fog output…done.
Chauvet® does not include DMX control on mid-range product models, such as their awesome Hurricane™ 1302. The 1302 is usually available on Amazon for around $80, is an “Always Fog Ready” model and has an impressive 20,000 CFM output!
Adding DMX to your show just for a fog or snow machine is extra work and a new learning curve to add and configure DMX props, not to mention the extra wiring required.
Quality DMX controllable fog machines are a lot more expensive to buy.
