Out of curiosity what has made you go with GS? It has an awful default feature where if your data drops out it goes into a rainbow chase effect which essentially totally ruled it out of ANY install work for me. Have you already purchased the tape? If not could i recommend WS2815 as i assume you have chosen GS due to it being 12v? Our supplier of WS is great.

As for needing a decoder, you will obviously need a dmx/artnet to spi such as a Nebula however Madrix can do GS as its the same protocol as WS i believe. But dont quote me on that :)
