Enttec OCTO Mk2 71521 8 Universe DIN Rail EDMX to LED Pixel Converter & Controller - DMX Over Ethernet

Often referred to as the ‘OCTO Mk2’ (as the successor to ENTTEC’s original ‘PIXEL OCTO’ DIN-rail LED controller), the OCTO is a little box that packs a huge punch.An 8-Universe, dual-output eDMX to LED pixel data converter, the OCTO is a robust and reliable installation-grade device. This smart controller connects directly to your LED lights, and is engineered to take any architectural, commercial, or entertainment project to the next level.Designed with ultra-fast deployment of LED strips and pixel dot systems in mind, the OCTO has eDMX support for Art-Net, sACN, ESP, and KiNet data, and is compatible with almost every SPI LED strip due to custom protocols and an industry-leading voltage input range.With its easy-to-use localhost web interface, create gradient effects effortlessly via the inbuilt FX engine. Run them as standalone shows on power-up, eliminating the need for a DMX source. Or, if you need to control more than 4 universes of LEDs per port, the OCTO’s automatic Overdrive Mode will boost your output up to 16 universes in total.Its installer-friendly features include network chaining, custom output protocols, plus an identify button to check correct wiring without a data source. What’s more, with flexible TS35 DIN rail or surface mount options to choose from, the OCTO is the ultimate go-to LED pixel control device for almost any scenario.

• 8-universe eDMX to SPI pixel controller with standalone FX mode and an added overdrive feature capable of transmitting up to 16 universes of SPI data in a compact 4-module DIN-rail form factor.
• Dual pixel outputs with Data and Clock support. Supports up to 16 universes of Art-Net, sACN, ESP, and KiNet.
• Multiple pixel output protocols are supported. Pre-listed supported protocols*: APA 104, GS8208B, SPXL (16-bit & 8-bit), SK6812, TM1804, TM1812, TM1814, UCS1903, UCS2903, UCS2904, UCS8903 (16-bit & 8-bit), UCS8904* (16-bit & 8-bit), WS2811, WS2812, WS2812B, WS2813, WS2815, WS2818*, AHL003 (16-bit & 8-bit), SJ1221(16-bit & 8-bit), TLC5973(16-bit & 8-bit).
• Ability to create custom pixel output protocols (criteria apply, see user manual). Expandable network with daisy-chaining through Ethernet connections. DHCP or Static IP address support.
• Grouping functionality to reduce input channel count. Intuitive device configuration and updates through the built-in web interface.
• Surface or TS35 DIN rail mounting options. Identify/Reset button for quick wiring verification without a network connection. UL Certification (Serial numbers 2374307 or higher are now UL listed).
• (Overdrive Mode) With the inclusion of the innovative Overdrive mode, the OCTO Mk2 can now be configured to output more than 4 universes per port. This development enables users to manage a higher universe output count, adapting to varied usage requirements and preferences. However, it is crucial to note that utilizing Overdrive mode may result in a lower maximum FPS (frames per second). Consequently, users are encouraged to evaluate their individual needs to determine the suitability of Overdrive mode for their specific situations.
• (Standalone Mode) The OCTO Mk2 now also boasts a Standalone mode, complemented by an inbuilt FX engine, allowing users to create and edit gradient effects with real-time previews seamlessly. This feature empowers users to execute modifications effortlessly via the device’s web interface, which promises a smooth and intuitive editing experience. Furthermore, the OCTO Mk2 can be configured to run in Standalone mode upon power-up, thereby eliminating the necessity for an external DMX source.
• (Free ELM Software License) We are pleased to continue offering a FREE ELM software 8 Universe license with the OCTO Mk2, providing added value to our customers.
