How many pixels?

Hello,
Maybe a silly question but im trying to figure out how many controllers and what key i need and im confused!
So i have my led strips which are 12v ws2815 rgb strips with 30led/m, they are aligned in 20 rows of 3.3meters(100rgb leds)
So the question is how many pixels do i have? 20×100=2000pixels? Or 2000rgb leds=6000pixels?
Thank you!

Hello Antkos,
Welcome to the MADRIX forum.

When I understand you correctly, one LED tape of 3.3 meters has 100 RGB pixels. That means in total you want to control 2000 RGB pixels (20 row x 100 RGB pixels per stripe).

To control this project with MADRIX products you will need a MADRIX 5 KEY basic and at least 2 MADRIX NEBULA.
Because to control 2000 RGB pixels you will need 6000 DMX channels (2000 pixels x 3 channels per pixel). To control 6000 DMX channels you will need 12 DMX universes (6000 DMX channels / 512 channels per universe).

One MADRIX NEBULA can control up to 1360 RGB pixels.
