Pixel-Strip-Tester
sACN LED-strip tester
$1.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Test LED strips on site via sACN: patch, validate, highlight, and run patterns — straight from your iPhone, no laptop.
Pixel-Strip-Tester is RFevents’ professional tool for configuring and testing DMX LED strips on site over sACN (E1.31).
Built for installers and crew: work on the floor with your iPhone on the same network as your sACN receiver. No laptop needed to quickly verify patch, color order, and pixel count.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Manage strips – name, pixel count, universe, start address, RGB or RGBW
• Color order – pick the right order (RGB, GRB, etc.) for your hardware
• Controllers – link IP address and universe of your sACN node
• Validate – light the full strip or step through pixel by pixel
• Highlight – find the right strip on the floor (on/off with a clear banner)
• Test patterns – snake, RGB test, solid color, combinations
• Blackout – turn everything off instantly with clear on-screen status
• Projects – save your setup, load later, export/import JSON
• Widget – quick blackout or start test from the Home Screen
• Universe overview – see how your patch is split at a glance
• Language – English and Dutch; follows your iPhone language or choose in Settings
SETTINGS
• Keep screen awake during testing
• sACN priority, speed, and maximum brightness
• Default color order for new strips
NETWORK
The app only sends sACN packets over your local network. Your iPhone and the sACN receiver must be on the same network. Allow local network access when iOS asks. The universe in the app is the DMX/sACN universe on your receiver — they must match.
PRIVACY
Data stays on your iPhone. No account, no tracking, no upload to RFevents. See the privacy policy at rf-events.nl.
PLEASE NOTE
• Test on a real iPhone; the simulator does not reliably support sACN.
• sACN does not run in the background (iOS limitation).
• Multicast/sACN on some networks requires a stable Wi‑Fi connection.
