stars, based on 0reviews
This pixel protocol was designed by Genesis-Systech in China. While the features are very similar to GS8208, GS8206 also allows for a constant voltage pixel system, via a parallel LED connection. This results in a more flexible lighting system, allowing up to 24V to be used. The control circuit comes in a SOP8 package, allowing for more flexibility with LED choice.

GS8206 Advantages
- Very high PWM rate allows for filming these pixels with cameras up to 267fps
- Up to 24V, allowing for very long cable lengths
- Redundant data line reduces chance of entire strip failure
- 12-bit built-in gamma correction makes dimming curves more smooth
GS8206 Disadvantages
- Data-only restricts refresh rates to be limited by the speed of the protocol, which will generally be slow
Operational Behavior
On start-up, all GS8206 pixel lights will momentarily flash, and then enter a built-in test mode for a short period of time. When this self-test has finished, the pixels will proceed to respond to their incoming data.
