ENTTEC OCTO LITE 8-Universe DIN-RAIL LED Pixel Controller

About: ENTTEC OCTO LITE 8-Universe DIN-RAIL LED Pixel Controller

The OCTO LITE is a compact LED pixel controller that delivers 8 universes of eDMX-to-pixel conversion in a 4-module DIN-rail form factor. Supporting up to 1,360 RGB or 1,024 RGBW pixels per controller, this SPI pixel controller unit handles Art-Net, sACN, and ESP protocols with the same proven OCTO architecture trusted in installations worldwide.

• Supports up to 8 universes of Art-Net, sACN, and ESP for pixel control.
• Extensive pixel output protocol support, including data and clock-based configurations.
• Custom pixel protocol adjustment and creation for specialised applications.
• Expandable networking via daisy-chain connectivity for optimized data distribution.
• DHCP and Static IP address support for flexible network integration.
• Grouping functionality to efficiently reduce input channel requirements.
• Port Sync ensures all ports stay synchronised, preventing inconsistencies and ensuring smooth operation.
• Versatile mounting options: surface or TS35 DIN rail compatibility. Accessory sold separately.
• Identify/Reset button enables quick wiring verification without requiring a network connection.
• User-friendly web interface for intuitive configuration and firmware updates.

Built for compact installations, the OCTO LITE focuses on core functionality: wide protocol support, custom protocol creation, dual Ethernet ports for network passthrough, and flexible 5-60V power input. The result is installation-grade performance in a compact package that simplifies deployment in space-constrained environments.

Perfect for architectural accent lighting, retail installations, and entertainment venues where the 8-universe capacity matches project requirements.

OCTO LITE vs OCTO MK2 vs OCTO MK3

The OCTO LITE provides 8 universes of output in a streamlined package, compared to 16 universes in the OCTO MK2 and 32 universes in the OCTO MK3. Designed for installations that don’t require standalone mode, split port functionality, or KiNet protocol support, the OCTO LITE is the LED pixel controller for projects where 8-universe capacity is the right fit. For projects requiring additional capacity or advanced features, the MK2 and MK3 provide straightforward upgrade paths within the same OCTO ecosystem.

8-Universe Output Capacity

Delivers up to 8 universes, supporting up to 1,360 RGB or 1,024 RGBW pixels – ideal for compact lighting setups. With 4 universes per port, the OCTO LITE efficiently converts DMX-over-Ethernet to SPI pixel data, giving you the flexibility to configure outputs exactly as your project demands.

Custom Protocol Creation

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

Powered by Your Pixels

With its industry-leading, wide input voltage range of 5-60V, the OCTO LITE can be powered directly by your LED pixel strip or dots via either port. This means there’s no need for extra wires or dedicated power supplies taking up precious socket space, making it a dream device for a fast, efficient install!

Easy Daisy-Chaining

Dual RJ45 Ethernet connectors enable flexible network expansion — chain up to 8 units of this LED pixel controller for optimal synchronisation between outputs. With 10/100Mbps network speed and built-in link & activity LED indicators on both ports, you’ll have reliable data transmission across your entire installation.

Installer-Friendly Design

Every aspect of the OCTO LITE has been engineered for ease of installation. Choose between surface mounting or TS35 DIN rail installation with included accessories, and power the device directly from your LED pixel strip or dots via either port — no extra wires or dedicated power supplies needed.

The forward-facing LED status indicator shows device state at a glance, while the Identify/Reset button sets all 8 output universes to maximum output (255) for 10 seconds — letting you verify wiring is correct without needing an active data source or network connection. The user-friendly web interface handles LED pixel controller configuration, firmware updates, real-time universe buffer inspection, and network statistics, making troubleshooting straightforward on-site.
