Description
The ENTTEC OCTO MK3 is a high-performance, compact, and reliable pixel controller designed to convert up to 32 universes of Art-Net, sACN, Kinet, and ESP to SPI pixel data with port sync.
It features flexible pixel output configuration, supporting up to 8 universes per port, with 2 outputs when using Clock support and up to 4 outputs when repurposing Clock as additional data ports. The overdrive mode is automatically activated when outputting more than 6 universes per port, ensuring seamless performance under high data loads.
Engineered for maximum versatility, the OCTO MK3 supports over 20 industry-standard pixel protocols and enables custom protocol creation for specialised applications (refer to the Custom Protocol Creation Guide). With dual Ethernet ports, it facilitates network daisy-chaining, optimising data distribution without additional hardware.
With an inbuilt FX engine, the Standalone Mode allows users to create gradient effects with realtime previews directly through the web interface.
The device can be configured to run standalone upon power-up, eliminating the need for a dedicated DMX source.
