It also has 3 RJ45 differential ports that can output an additional 12 strings using differential receivers. Finally, there is an expansion header which can drive an additional 16 strings. The 800 pixels per string is the same for all strings. There are also two UARTs exposed via header pins which can drive DMX universes or Renard or LOR.
