The OCTO is an 8-universe eDMX dual-output LED pixel controller precision engineered and made in Australia. Robust and reliable, this installation-grade smart controller connects directly to LED strips and pixels, 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, you can 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.

Here are some key features of the Octo 8-universe DIN-rail LED pixel controller:

Standalone FX mode: Create and edit gradient effects with real-time preview via the onboard FX generator, and set them to play automatically upon power-up with no DMX source or user interaction needed.

Overdrive mode: Although ostensibly an 8-universe LED controller, the OCTO will efficiently convert up to 16 universes of DMX-over-Ethernet to SPI pixel data (8U per output), with auto-activation of Overdrive Mode when configured to output more than 4U per port — because you never know when you might need that little bit extra.

Wide input voltage range and multiple power input options: With an industry-leading, wide input voltage range of 4-60V, the OCTO can be powered directly by your LED pixel strip or dots via either port, eliminating the need for extra wires or dedicated power supplies. It's a dream device for a fast, efficient install.

Easy fault-finding: The auto-refreshing view of channel values for each universe combined with network stats means you know exactly what data you are receiving and where it's coming from. And with the Identify button setting the output to max, installers can quickly check if wiring is correct without having to rely on incoming data.

Installer-friendly features: The OCTO supports multiple integrated circuits, has an intuitive configuration enabling the device to be heavily tailored to your projects, and its slim 4-DIN-unit form factor allows for discreet surface or TS-35 DIN-rail mounting.

Custom protocols: The OCTO supports more than 20 pixel protocols by default within the device, with and without a clock line. In the event of a missing protocol, the custom protocol feature allows users to create a custom protocol for their desired pixel fixture anytime — without having to submit a support request for new firmware.

The user-friendly web interface, network chaining, custom protocols, and multiple mounting options make the precision-engineered Australian-made OCTO an excellent LED pixel control solution.
