T-780K operation manual
1.T-780K system features:
(1) The controller has 8 output ports, each port can carry up to 170/512/768 pixels(Different pixels for
different chips).
(2) The controller port output two kinds of signal protocol: ①DMX512/1990 international standard protocol
and DMX512 extended protocol; ②SPI/TTL serial protocol.
(3) The controller output port provides three protections to ensure that the controller output port is not burn
out in the case of short circuit or reverse connection in the controlled lamp.
(4) Controller ID automatic/manual numbering function, which can be numbered together with multiple
controllers, or individual controller numbers.
(5) The controller comes with built-in effects to test on-load luminaires (all supported by RGB/RGBW
luminaires).
(6) The controller has DMX512 write function and address test. The single port or all ports carry the
DMX512 IC write address and perform address test on the luminaire.
(7) The communication between the controllers adopts the international standard TCP/IP network protocol.
The optional transmission rate supports 100M/Gigabit adaptation, and the transmission speed is more
stable and fast. The maximum transmission distance between each two controllers can reach 100
meters. More than this distance can increase the switch or use fiber for long-distance transmission.
(8) The controller provides an LCD screen display that shows the model, ID, and operating status of the
controller.
(9) When connected with our online video software LedPlayer for computer control, the connection status
of the controller is monitored in real time on the computer. Using the online video software LedPlayer
for computer control can realize: program timing playback, program segment selection, effect
brightness adjustment, white balance online adjustment, program playback speed adjustment, display
text, picture loop playback, etc., which greatly satisfy the customer's application and Multiple needs in
debugging.
(10) The online video software LedPlayer comes with Gamma correction, which makes the color display
more delicate and vivid.

(11) When the controller is connected to the computer, the IP address is set. The controller supports online
and offline integrated control. The online priority is the highest. When there is no online signal, it
automatically switches to the offline effect.
Note 1: The DMX/1903 IC on the controller can be controlled by MADRIX software. The maximum normal
3 unit (3 Univ) lamps per port, that is 3*170 pixels; multi-controllers combined into the largest control
system Compatible with 2048 units.
Note 2: The controller supports rack-mounting. If necessary, please contact the relevant business
personnel before placing an order.

6.T-780K numbering function operate
T-780K numbering has three methods: Computer number (recommended), master
number, and branch number.
(1) Controller (computer software port) numbering
1.1. The computer and the controller are connected by a network cable (using the
www.suntechlwww.suntechleds.com [e-mail]

7
international standard TCP/IP network protocol, and the network cable is 568B
through)
1.2. Open the software LedPlayer-k and click on "Project Configuration" as shown in
Figure 1.
1.3. Click on "Online Code", as shown in Figure 2.
1.4. Set the controller start number, click the online number button, start numbering, as
shown in Figure 3.
Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3
1.5. Complete the online code and check the controller number.
(2) Conttoller(master control operation ) numbering function
The main control and sub-control (T-780K) are connected through the network cable (using the
international standard TCP/IP network protocol, and the network cable is 568B through).
2.1. The master control presses the “SPEED-/speed-” button to power on, and the “MODE” button
adjusts the arrow to “Set Slave ID” as shown in the figure:
2.2. Press the “SET” button again, the main control display enters the numbering page, the “SPEED+”
button and the “SPEED-” button adjust the number of the starting sub-control, as shown below:
2.3. After completing the number setting, press the “SET/Save” button to start the numbering.
www.suntechlwww.suntechleds.com [e-mail]

2.4.The first step of the controller number is to automatically count the number of sub-controls. The
display "Write OK: 003" (take 3 sub-control numbers as an example)
2.5. The number is completed, the main control display: As shown in the figure "Write Num: 003", 3
controllers are programmed.
“ Last ID: 003” means the last controller number is 3
Sub-control T-780K display as below:
First set ID：0001 Second set ID：0002 Third set ID：0003
2.6. Check the controller number. If you need to renumber, press and hold the “SPEED-”
button to restart the numbering. If you do not need to renumber, press any
button—the master restarts and returns to the playback mode.
Note 1: When the controller is numbered, the level network port must be connected in strict accordance
with the controller silkscreen prompt (IN/OUT); the maximum sub-control number is 203. .
(3) Controller (T-780K sub-control) numbering
The T-780K and the T-780K use network cable connect (using the international standard TCP/IP
network protocol, the network cable is 568B straight)
3.1. The first T-780K controller, press and hold the “SPEED-” button, the controller will be powered
on and enter the manual coding mode. The display shows: “ID: 0001” as shown in the figure, ie
the current number of the controller is No. 1, press the “ SPEED+” and “SPEED-” keys adjust
the starting number.

3.2. After completing the start number adjustment, press the “SET” button to start the
number start number and display: “Writing...”
3.3. During the numbering process, the controller detects the number of connected
controllers (the number of connected controllers). As shown in Figure 003, a total
of three controllers are detected.
3.4. The number is completed, the first controller displays: as shown in the figure "Write
Num:003": 3 controllelers are searched
" Last ID: 003" The last one is numbered 3
Other controller display, as show in the figure:
“ID:0002 A” ；ID:0002 means the controller number is No. 2 A: Indicates that the
number is automatically generated
The second set: A-0002 The third set: A-0003
3.5.Check whether each controller number is correct or needs to be renumbered. Then the
first T-780K controller long time presses the “SPEED-” button to return to the manual
numbering; the end numbering can be exited by pressing the button (any button is ok).
The first T-780K controller restarts “Restart...” and returns to normal play mode.
Note: When the controller is numbered, the cascaded networking ports must be connected in strict
accordance with the controller silkscreen prompt (INPUT/OUTPUT).
