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 real- time 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.
