Enttec OCTO Mk2 71521, 8 Universe DIN Rail eDMX to LED Pixel Converter & Controller Plus ELM License

Enttec OCTO MK2 71521 is 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 the 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.
