CLUB SPI
USB TO SPI & DMX
The mix of SPI and DMX controllers in Live and Standalone
CLUB SPI is a USB-to-SPI stand-alone interface with both SPI and DMX512 (RDM) ports in one device, used to control or drive LED lighting and LED strip installations. Connected to a computer running Chromateq software (PRO DMX 2, PIXXEM, STUDIO DMX), it converts data directly to SPI format — up to 3072 channels, 1020 RGB or 768 RGBW pixels, at 15 fps — replacing a separate DMX controller paired with a DMX-to-SPI driver.
As a standard DMX-to-SPI LED driver, CLUB SPI takes a 512-channel DMX-RDM universe as input and outputs up to 170 RGB or 128 RGBW pixels across its 3072-channel SPI output, with pixel grouping and channel repeat both configurable from 1 to 3072.
In stand-alone mode, CLUB SPI records a show to its internal memory and plays it back without a computer at up to 25 fps, triggered by DMX input, up to 3 smart dry contacts, or an infrared remote (play/stop/pause, dimmer, speed).

CLUB SPI Configuration
The CLUB SPI’s options window in PRO DMX 2 and DEVICETOOL provides all the device configuration and informations of the DMX and SPI interface.
DMX & SPI Output configuration:
- DMX A: DMX input or output and associated univers.
- SPI B: Output only and associated universes.
DMX Settings:
- Timing parameters: Break, MaB, Period.
- Active DMX universes number (U1 to U7).
SPI Settings:
- SPI Protocol: LED IC (WS2812, SK, TM, UCS…).
- Period: data refresh rate.
- Buddying: pixel grouping.
- Colour depth: input and output bit depth.
- Colour arrangement: channel order (RGB, GRB, BRG…).
- Number of pixels: total LED count.
- Repetitions: signal duplication for mirrored layouts.
With all the configuration parameters, the CLUB SPI can adapt to any SPI‑LED strip.
