GS8108 Pixel Protocol
Manufacturer: Genesis-Systech
The GS8108 is a Genesis-Systech DMX512 LED driver IC in an LED1515 package that decodes the DMX512 protocol to drive a point-by-point RGB pixel at 16-bit (65536-level) grayscale.

Strengths
- 16-bit (65536-level) grayscale for smooth, high-resolution dimming with clean low-end control
- 9kHz refresh rate that stays within typical broadcast and cinema camera frame rates
- DMX512-native decoding with point-by-point cascaded addressing and low 0.6mA dynamic power for long, efficient chains
Limitations
- RGB-only three-channel output, so there is no dedicated white channel
- Little English-language datasheet presence, as the part is documented primarily through the first-party Genesis-Systech (Shenzhen Junlue Technology) specification
Overview
The GS8108 is a DMX512 LED driver IC from Genesis-Systech (Shenzhen Junlue Technology). Rather than using a self-clocked pixel protocol, it receives and decodes standard DMX512 directly at the LED, which lets each device act as an addressable, point-by-point controllable RGB node in a cascaded chain. It works across a 9 to 15V supply, delivers three-channel RGB output at 16-bit grayscale for smooth low-end dimming, and refreshes at 9kHz, which keeps it comfortable for typical broadcast and cinema frame rates. Its cascaded architecture and low 0.6mA dynamic current suit long runs of DMX-addressable pixels. ENTTEC is not affiliated with Genesis-Systech.
