PIXELATOR MINI MK2

The ENTTEC Pixelator Mini Mk2 is an installation-grade 128-universe eDMX-to-SPI pixel converter with 16 PLink output ports, dual Ethernet for daisy-chaining, PoE support, and built-in surge protection — designed for the most demanding large-scale LED pixel installations — and includes a free 16-universe ENTTEC LED Mapper (ELM) license.

From the Manufacturer

The Pixelator Mini Mk2 is the highest-density hub in ENTTEC's PLink pixel control system, doubling the output port count of the original Pixelator Mini to 16 RJ45 PLink ports and quadrupling its universe capacity to 128 universes. It accepts Art-Net, sACN, and ESP input and converts it to PLink data for transmission to PLink Injectors or IP PLink Injectors located up to 300 metres away — which then convert the signal to the required SPI protocol at the fixture. Each port handles up to 6 universes in standard mode, with Overdrive Mode automatically activating when more than 6 universes per port are configured, bringing maximum capacity to 128 universes (65,536 channels). Up to four different pixel protocols can be output simultaneously — one per group of four ports — giving designers complete flexibility across dense, high-resolution installations.

A dedicated Ethernet through port enables daisy-chaining of multiple devices for large network deployments, and an internal buffer with sync logic keeps all 16 PLink output ports frame-accurate. ArtSync support extends that synchronization across multiple Pixelator Mini Mk2 units on the same project, eliminating jitter, lag, and content tearing across vast LED matrices. Universe-to-port assignment is fully flexible, pixel grouping is supported to reduce DMX channel counts, and pixel ordering is configurable for any standard fixture type. Resettable fuses and TVS surge suppression on every port ensure reliable 24/7 operation. All configuration and firmware updates are handled via the web interface. Every Pixelator Mini Mk2 purchase includes a free 16-universe license for ENTTEC LED Mapper (ELM) pixel mapping software.
