Hello, I want to install some RGB LED strips on an entertainment center in a rec room. I will have 8 sections (2+2 shelves on each side of a TV) that will be lit with 4 separate RGB digital LED strips that are about 52" long. I'd like to be able to control each of the 8 sections separtly or all together depending on what ever. A chasing feature of the lights would be nice as well and response to music. My question is, what will I need to accomplish this feat? I've found the enttec usb to dmx interface. I would like to set programs via the computer. Also iphone control is optimal. Will I need a DMX controller/decoder? I am new to this!
Thanks for any insight!!

Another option I was looking at is using an SD card for programming. I would not want to have my computer on in order for the lights to function.

I would get 4 DMX to LED Adapters from Ebay. and get a USB to DMX Adapter.

Address each one 3 Up from last start channel.

Strip 1 - DMX 1
Strip 2 - DMX 4
Strip 3 - DMX 7
Strip 4 - DMX 10

Then connect the 4 DMX Adapters to a USB to DMX adapter, Create the fixture in Freestyler and have fun!

Sorry for highjacking the thread is there a tutorial specific to setting up generic led strip device profiles?

Just create a simple 3 channel fixture and enable rgb for it. Assign red blue and green to there respective channels.

Then add that fixture 4 times with starting channels one up from ending channel as stated above.

Do you mean something like this adapter/decoder here --> http://www.ebay.com/itm/320833937685

Is it possible to map actual pixels (meaning an actual LED in a say 60 LED strip)? If not what do I need to address specific pixels in an LED strip and drive this via FreeStyler?

which IC type of the digital led strip you have use?
the SK6812 ,or sk6822, the ws2813 led even the ws2812b led strip ?
a lot type of addressable led and IC in the market now,
different will use different controlling protocol.
hope you can find more about it.
