I came across this video and it is quite interesting.

This can be achieved by using a regular pixel correct? Just cut it out and wire it in line?
What I’d be more interested in is comparing either of these to a simple TxRx pair.
Pretty sure you can triple that 75feet without blinking.
And they’re probably 1/2 the cost.
The only plausible argument I might see is the F-AMP is nicely prepackaged.
Not a good argument (for me) for using a mediocre solution to the basic issue.
I think the video is geared more towards the holiday display xlights crowd, where the easy solution to run from prop to prop or from a somewhat centrally located smart receiver (fancy differential receiver board) generally for more easy connect temporary usage.
For sure differential receivers will let you transmit the data long distances more efficiently, but at the cost of them being harder to connect/waterproof.
The thing I found interesting was how the actual (Falcon) F-Amps worked so much better than the normal null pixel or sacrificial pixel. It would be interesting to see how the F-Amps compared to Quindor’s Data Boosters. I wonder what components are in the F-Amps vs the null pixels. I don’t have any to compare them.
Depends on the distance. A regular pixel would likely get you the same result/distance as a null pixel.
