Advatek PixLite T8-S Mk3
Drop shipped from vendor
The Advatek PixLite® T8-S Mk3 is a professional long-range pixel controller built for installations where the LEDs are spread out far from the control position. Rather than driving pixels directly, the T8-S transmits data over standard Cat cable to remote PixLite® R2 or R4 receivers placed near the fixtures — up to 300 meters from the transmitter. Its eight RJ45 outputs feed up to eight receivers and drive as many as 16,320 RGB pixels, delivering unbeatable long-range power without a premium price for large-scale productions and architectural projects.
Housed in a rugged aluminum enclosure, the T8-S Mk3 supports direct panel, wall, and rack mounting to suit any rack room or equipment cabinet. Electrical fault protection is built into every port, and the Mk3 platform is engineered so it won't interfere with building management systems or other sensitive RF, network, and communications infrastructure. It operates reliably across an ambient range of −10°C to +60°C.
Officially supported with DMX Core 100. This controller is a supported integration for the DMX Core 100 lighting controller — auto-discover it on the network, push Art-Net or sACN to its pixel and auxiliary ports in one click, and monitor board temperature, voltage, and per-output current live.

At its heart is the PixLite® Mk3 processor, Advatek's state-of-the-art third-generation engine:
- Gamma correction for pixels of all resolutions, so colors appear more vivid and accurate
- Extremely fast refresh rates — hundreds of frames per second for fast, reliable dynamic effects
- Dithering to make low-resolution pixels appear much higher-resolution
- Auto-Sync dynamic frame-rate adjustment to reduce out-of-sync pixels and tearing, even without an external sync source
Key Features
