5.1. 물리적 연결

1. 전원 연결: Connect the provided power supply to the "POWER" terminals (0V and V+) on the OCTO Mk2. Ensure the voltage는 DC 4-60V 범위 내에 있습니다.
2. 이더넷 연결: Connect an Ethernet cable from your network switch or computer to the "IN" Ethernet port on the OCTO Mk2. For daisy-chaining, use the "THROUGH" port to connect to another network device.
3. LED Pixel Output: Connect your SPI LED strips or pixel dots to the "OUTPUTS" terminals. Each output provides connections for 0V (Ground), Data, CLK (Clock), and VCC (Power). Refer to your LED strip's specifications for correct wiring.

5.2. Network Configuration (Accessing the Web 상호 작용)

The OCTO Mk2 features a built-in web interface for configuration. To access it, your computer needs to be on the same network as the OCTO Mk2.

1. 초기 연결: Connect your computer directly to the OCTO Mk2 using an Ethernet cable, or ensure both are on the same local network.
2. Identify IP Address: The default IP address for the OCTO Mk2 is typically printed on the device or found in the quick start guide. If using DHCP, the device will obtain an IP address from your network.
3. 입장 Web 인터페이스: 열기 web browser and enter the IP address of the OCTO Mk2 into the URL bar. This will open the device's configuration page.
4. 네트워크 설정 구성:
   • 로 이동합니다 설정 꼬리표.
   • To assign a static IP address, uncheck the DHCP 활성화 옵션.
   • Manually enter the desired IP 주소, 넷마스크, 그리고 게이트웨이. Ensure the IP address is unique on your network and within the same subnet as your control computer.
   • 딸깍 하는 소리 적용하다 변경 사항을 저장합니다.

6. 작동 모드

6.1. eDMX Control

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

• 지원되는 프로토콜: Art-Net, sACN, ESP, and KiNet.
• 구성: 에서 web 인터페이스 DMX Port Settings, 설정하다 유형 to "Output (DMX Out)" and select your desired 규약 (e.g., Art-Net). Configure the 우주 settings (Net, Subnet, Uni) to match your DMX setup.
• 출력 병합: 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.

7. Supported SPI LED Protocols

The OCTO Mk2 is compatible with a wide range of SPI LED protocols, including but not limited to:

• 미국약학협회 104
• GS8208B
• SPXL (16-bit & 8-bit)
• SK6812
• TM1804, TM1812, TM1814
• UCS1903, UCS2903, UCS2904, UCS8903 (16-bit & 8-bit), UCS8904 (16-bit & 8-bit)
• WS2811, WS2812, WS2812B, WS2813, WS2815, WS2818

8. 유지관리

• 청소: 부드럽고 마른 천으로 기기를 닦으십시오. 액체 또는 에어로졸 세척제를 사용하지 마십시오.
• 펌웨어 업데이트: 정기적으로 확인 엔텍닷컴 for the latest firmware updates. Always review release notes for special instructions before updating.
• 저장: 사용하지 않을 때는 장치를 서늘하고 건조한 곳에 보관하십시오.

9. 문제 해결

• 전원 없음: Check power connections and ensure the power supply is functioning correctly. Verify the input voltage는 지정된 범위 내에 있습니다.
• 네트워크 연결 없음:
  • 이더넷 케이블이 단단히 연결되어 있는지 확인하십시오.
  • 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.
