CONTROL
SHOULD
BE EASY IN
ANY KIND
OF WAY
The complexity of a lighting installation may never be a limitation for its
feasibility. That is where the idea for DiGidots products come from; everything
should be possible with the smallest number of parts and the littlest effort.
A burden of proof for that idea is an imposing project DiGidot took part in.
Every large and noteworthy city in the world has one; a lookout on top of an
impressive tower. In 2016, Amsterdam revealed its own; the A’DAM Tower. To
control the almost countless number of LEDs in the different venues of this
tower, a relatively small number of DiGidot C4 controllers was needed. Get
to know DiGidot and you’ll find out: You don’t need much, to achieve a lot in
digital lighting.

WHY NOT HAVE
ONE DEVICE THAT
CONTAINS ALL
THE OPTIONS
That is the question it all started with! DiGidot is a sister company of InventDesign and was founded in 2015.
InventDesign, specialist in creative LED lighting, has a rich history when it comes to LED solutions, especially
in the control of tiny lights. At the end of 2013, InventDesign started pioneering on an in-house developed
Art-Net LED driver. This led to a groundbreaking innovation, completely developed in Amsterdam by Dutch
engineers. They were there, in the field, getting their hands dirty to find the most ideal base for all future
lighting control requests.
An Art-Net controller, fully
developed and designed
by Dutch engineers in the
Netherlands. DiGidot stands for
genuine, fair and transparent
development, based on both
eld experience and in-depth
knowledge of the markets
demands. That is why the
company has a promising future
ahead.
DiGidots developments result
in high-end technologies for
many purposes in the digital
lighting industry. Such
high-end outcomes can
only be achieved by using
state of the art and durable
materials.
DiGidot stands for perfection
into every little detail. Not
only in how the products are
developed and produced,
but also the way they are
presented.
GROUNDBREAKING
INNOVATION FOR
LIGHTING INDUSTRY
In 2013, the development of an Art-Net device was started. Days and nights passed, but the results are
impressive! One device with great features for the lighting industry; a bridge to integrate your lighting with
any other system, a pixel-controller, an Art-Net node, a show recorder and a trigger device, all in one.
The driver has four outputs for which you choose the protocol that suits your installation best. Whether it’s
an LED pixel working with one of the many addressable LED drivers, PWM signal or the well-known DMX
protocol, the DiGidot C4 covers it all! At maximum load, the DiGidot C4 drives 1536 channels on each of the
4 outputs, at a speed of 60 frames per second. After a long testing period with over 1000 devices in several
installations, we now confidently say; the DiGidot C4 has enormous potential and is ready to conquer the
market!

POSSIBILITIES
DiGidot C4
EXTENDED
The goal is to work with worlds most common protocols. Both Art-Net and DMX can be used as input and
output protocols on the DiGidot C4. Do you work with a different protocol? No worries, over 20 addressable
LED drivers have been added to the DiGidot IC library; both well known as more exotic IC protocols.
Output settings
Each of the four digital outputs on the DiGidot C4 can control up to 1024 individually controllable lights in its
most ideal setup. That’s up to 4096 individual lights in total. You can freely change the protocol of the outputs,
assign universe numbers, change the start address and change the advanced settings of each universe.
A couple of the most interesting ones:
• Adjustable color order
• Repeat channels
• Combine channels
• Multiple dimming curve options
• Art-Net IP address filtering
Merge inputs
When you’re working with a setup using multiple sources of Art-Net input, the DiGidot C4 can merge the two
inputs based on a HTP-merge called parallel universe. Our HTP-merge has proven itself during a live show
with 200 Art-Net universes.
Extremely efficient infrastructure
Previously some installations required multiple Art-Net to DMX nodes and DMX to SPI decoders, where the
DiGidot C4 is all of that in one. It replaces 12 Art-Net nodes and SPI decoders. So you can say; less devices,
less cabling, less installation time meaning less costs. Furthermore, the DiGidot C4 comes with a build in
ethernet switch, so you can daisy chain multiple DiGidot C4 devices.
Play or trigger recorded scenes
Two of the best features of the DiGidot C4 are recording and playback functions, that allow you to easily
record your input and process the recording into a flawless looping scene. The DiGidot C4 comes with a 8Gb
industrial graded MicroSD card to store all of your favorite scenes. You can use the trigger function, the DiGidot
IOS app or the API to playback your recorded scenes.
DiGidot C4
Live
You don’t always need recording, play and triggering functions in every lighting installation. The DiGidot C4
Live controller brings you the same results but without those specific features.

AN INTERFACE
WITH THIS MANY
OPTIONS WAS
NEVER THIS
INTUITIVE BEFORE
You might have noticed that DiGidot aims to make light control easy for everyone. The intuitive web-based
user interface makes the setup of the device as simple as it gets. The DiGidot C4 user interface is embedded
in the device, which makes downloading and installing additional software unnecessary. The responsive
HTML5 interface is optimized for Google Chrome on all platforms. The user interface has a clean look and
feel and clear explanations that leaves you a minimal learning curve. With DiGidot C4 Extended, trigger
actions like power-up, time-based, contact-closure over analog, Art-Net input, DMX input, UDP and HTTP
can be assigned on the fly.
The DiGidot C4 user interface
allows you to have full control
over the user accounts and
rights, the basic and advanced
settings, scenes and recordings,
updates and much more!
Use the settings page to setup
all the inputs and outputs of
the DiGidot C4 Extended and
configure your device network
settings easily.
The user can create triggers
with all kinds of input for
example: on power up, analog,
DMX, Art-Net, HTTP GET, UDP,
time, and the onboard button.
The DiGidot C4 Extended can
record from Art-Net or DMX
input and playback your favorite
scenes. This makes the DiGidot
C4 Extended a stand-alone
playback device in your setup.
CONNECT
Example 1; Single wire SPI output
In this example we use four outputs, each to drive DiGidot WS2812B LED strips. Every output can drive up
to 510 pixels. For the power we connect all the strips to one power supply. The power supply also powers
the DiGidot C4. Make sure all ground wires are connected together. The device is connected to the ethernet,
which contains the Art- Net signal.
Example 2; DMX input with two single wire SPI outputs
Port 1 and 2 are used for DMX input. This can be used to control single wire SPI lights on port 3 and 4 or to
trigger recorded scenes.
Example 3; Double wire SPI output
Here we see two DiGidot C4s lined up. The example shows a double wire SPI LED strip which uses a data and
clock signal. For this type of signal you need two wires. In this case we use D1 and D2 for the first LED strip, D3
and D4 for the second LED strip.
