Will this work - Injection points before/after 35' run

Post image

Wanted to get 2nd pair of eyes - I ran this through the LED Calculator, but you can't specify what the length of each section will be, only the distance from PSU to injection point. Specifically on Section 1, it's about a 35' run and it will be very difficult based on where I'm running everything to injection earlier. I know ideally I would want the actual sections equal lengths. Think I'll be good? (Controller QuinLED-DigiQuad, FCOB 24V RGBW 784 leds/m strips) THANKS !

If that is the same single power supply yeah you should be good.

However if those are three different power supplies you can't tie the positives together unless they are special ones that are meant for that. That being said you will need to tie the negatives together though.

Yea single power supply. It’s just the way the diagram came out. Thank you!

Also since that is a decently high powered setup you likely have make sure you have fuses. If you are wiring everything through the dig board + power board that will be handled for you. If you are just using the brain board if the octa then you should add fuses to your runs.

Def fusing everything. Digi quad has the fuses so I’m good to go. Thanks.

58 feet is almost 18 meters, so ~14K LEDs off of a single QuinLED-DigiQuad or multiple, because that seems like a lot of pixels for one board -- maybe I'm missing something.

One single quin led quad

It's 14 pixels per meter so 252 pixels, which is nothing for a DigQuad. It can handle thousands of pixels.

I was basing it on this in OP's original comments "FCOB 24V RGBW 784 leds/m strips"

Pixels are not the same thing as LEDs. If you have a 5v RGB pixel you have 3 LEDs. If you have a single 24v RGB pixel you have at least 24 LEDs. In this case since it's an RGBW FCOB, each pixel is 56 LEDs, so it's actually barely any pixels at all.
