6.1. eDMX Control

The OCTO Mk2 supports various eDMX protocols for controlling your LED pixels from a compatible DMX software or console.

• ອະນຸສັນຍາສະຫນັບສະຫນູນ: Art-Net, sACN, ESP, and KiNet.
• ການຕັ້ງຄ່າ: ໃນ web ການໂຕ້ຕອບພາຍໃຕ້ DMX Port Settings, ກໍານົດ ປະເພດ to "Output (DMX Out)" and select your desired ພິທີການ (e.g., Art-Net). Configure the ຈັກກະວານ settings (Net, Subnet, Uni) to match your DMX setup.
• ການລວມເອົາຜົນຜະລິດ: The device supports output merging options like "LTP Merge (Latest Takes Precedence)" to handle multiple DMX sources.

6.2. Standalone Mode with Inbuilt FX Engine

The OCTO Mk2 can operate in Standalone Mode, allowing you to create and run gradient effects directly from the device without an external DMX source.

• Access the inbuilt FX engine via the web interface to design and edit effects.
• Configure the device to run these standalone shows automatically upon power-up.

6.3. Overdrive Mode

Overdrive Mode allows the OCTO Mk2 to output more than 4 universes per port, boosting total output up to 16 universes. This feature is useful for managing a higher universe count.

• Note that utilizing Overdrive Mode may result in a lower maximum Frames Per Second (FPS). Evaluate your specific needs to determine its suitability.

9. ການແກ້ໄຂບັນຫາ

• ບໍ່ມີພະລັງງານ: Check power connections and ensure the power supply is functioning correctly. Verify the input voltage ຢູ່ໃນຂອບເຂດທີ່ກໍານົດໄວ້.
• ບໍ່ມີການເຊື່ອມຕໍ່ເຄືອຂ່າຍ:
  • Ensure Ethernet cables are securely connected.
  • Verify network settings (IP address, subnet mask, gateway) in the web interface are correct for your network.
  • If using a static IP, ensure it is unique and not conflicting with other devices.
• No DMX/Pixel Output:
  • Check the DMX Port Settings in the web interface (Type, Protocol, Universe).
  • Verify the wiring of your LED strips to the output terminals (Data, CLK, VCC, GND).
  • Use the Identify button on the device to check correct wiring without a data source.
  • Ensure your DMX control software is correctly configured to send data to the OCTO Mk2's IP address and universe.
• Lower FPS in Overdrive Mode: This is expected behavior. If higher FPS is critical, consider reducing the number of universes or adjusting your setup.
