Twice the power + total freedom:
Meet ENTTEC’s OCTO Mk3 pixel controller
For years, ENTTEC’s OCTO Mk2 has been the compact pixel controller of choice for designers and integrators who need serious output in a small footprint. From architectural façades and themed attractions to pixel neon, it’s quietly powered projects all over the world.
The OCTO Mk3 builds on that legacy … and doubles it!
Housed in the same 4-module DIN-rail form factor, the OCTO Mk3 pushes DIN-rail pixel control further than ever. It delivers 32 universes of control – twice the capacity of the OCTO Mk2 – giving you up to 5,440 RGB pixels or 4,096 RGBW pixels from a single unit. That’s enough headroom for dense media façades, long neon runs or multi-zone installations without needing a rack full of hardware.
In practical terms, that kind of capacity lets you think bigger. One controller becomes the brain behind large, continuous canvases or multiple smaller runs across a site. Whether you are lighting a venue entry, wrapping columns, lining a ceiling or driving a custom feature piece, the Mk3 is designed to keep up with ambitious layouts.
More outputs, more ways to wire
Where the OCTO Mk2 offered two data outputs, the OCTO Mk3 introduces a flexible port architecture. Each physical port can output Data and Clock, or you can convert Clock lines into extra Data outputs using Split Port mode. In other words, you can configure the controller with up to four fully-functional data outputs from a two-port device.
Each output can carry 6 universes plus 2 universes in overdrive mode, giving you freedom to distribute your load neatly across multiple runs. That flexibility makes it easier to keep cable lengths sensible, balance power injection and match the way your pixels are laid out on site.
Twice the power, same compact footprint
The best part? All of this extra performance is delivered without increasing the physical size of the controller. If you are already used to building control cabinets around the OCTO family, the Mk3 drops into the same sort of space – just with much more capability on tap.
Designed with installers in mind
On the front panel, status LEDs provide at-a-glance feedback, while the identify button can temporarily drive all outputs to full white for quick wiring checks. Combined with a detailed web UI that exposes universe buffers, network statistics and configuration, the OCTO Mk3 has been built to make commissioning and fault-finding faster and more predictable.
