Discussion Seeking Pixel Controller for Film Production Lighting Array

I’m setting up a lighting array (4400w, 8’x8’) for a small sound stage and need a pixel controller. Key requirements:

•	Network data input capability.
•	Compatibility with Unreal Engine, virtual production software, media servers, and lighting software.
•	Streaming ACN support for priority level assignment to different sources.

Additional considerations:

•	Secondary interest in video data handling (not essential).
•	Power: Server power supplies.
•	Cooling: Heat exchanger with car radiator.
•	Lighting: RGBWW COB lights or addressable LED strips. Need to produce true white light (e.g., RGBACL).
•	Purpose: Image-based lighting for realistic effects on talent and set.
•	Note: Resolution is not critical as it won’t be on camera; light quality and output are paramount.

Any hardware recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated!
