GearConnect is a web-based drawing platform for live events and entertainment. We’ve built reusable PixLite® Mk3 blocks for A-Series and E-Series controllers, T8-S and T16X-S transmitters, and compatible long-range receivers. Standard and expanded output variants reflect different ways of using the hardware, with labelled ports and product notes to help you choose the right block for the job.
We’ve also created editable full-range demonstration projects for GearConnect V1 and V2, with example layouts showing the blocks, output arrangements and long-range connections. Use them as a starting point, then adapt the equipment and labels to your installation. This helps you explain a proposed system, trace the route from the control source to each pixel run, and prepare consistent drawings and connection reports for installers and handover without rebuilding the same device details for every project.
This integration supports planning and documentation. It does not discover, configure or control PixLite® hardware.
Choose your device
Create or open a GearConnect project and add the appropriate Advatek blocks from the Library Browser. Match each block to the hardware and intended output mode, then give devices clear labels that correspond to the installation.
The demo provides example layouts. Adapt device quantities and receiver arrangements to your project, following the relevant PixLite® manuals.
Advatek Modules in GearConnect
Connect the system
Add your control source, network equipment and pixel fixtures, then drag between ports to draw the planned connections.
For long-range systems, show transmitter-to-receiver links separately from receiver-to-pixel runs. The demo uses orange for long-range links, which are not Ethernet connections.
Network to Pixels
Document the installation
Add output destinations, cable identifiers, receiver locations and power details. Identify shared fuse pairings where applicable, including expanded A4-S outputs.
GearConnect checks connections against its library port data. Confirm hardware compatibility, wiring, pixel protocol and power loading against Advatek documentation.
An Example PixLite® T8-S Mk3 System
Review and hand over
Trace each connection from source to pixels. Use the Gear, Ports and Connections reports to review the recorded equipment and patch information, then export the drawings and reports required by the installation team.
Configure physical controllers using Advatek Assistant 3 or the PixLite® management interface. Update the drawing after on-site changes and retain it with the final controller configuration and project patch.
