Warning
Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving this product, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure
that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the dealer immediately and
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself
shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be
returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.
Your shipment includes:
Showtec LED Octostrip Set MKII: controller
Showtec LED Octostrip Set MKII: 8 x LED strips
8 x 5-pin XLR cable (5 m)
Pro power cable (1,5 m)
User manual
LED Expected Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. HEAT is the dominant factor that leads to the acceleration
of this decline. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal or singular
optimum conditions. For this reason, when all color LEDs are used at their fullest intensity, life of the LEDs is
significantly reduced. If improving the lifespan is of higher priority, place care in providing for lower
operational temperatures. This may include climatic-environmental and the reduction of overall
projection intensity.
Safety Instructions
Every person involved with the installation, operation and maintenance of this device has to:

modes). It is possible to connect the Octostrip MKI to the new Octostrip MKII. However, in such case, it is
not advisable to operate the old and the new version of the device in Auto mode, as the built-in
programs differ per version.

Connecting to a Network
ArtNet settings
01) Install any ArtNet-based software on your PC (Windows or Mac) or use a light controller which
supports ArtNet.
02) Connect the LED strips to the Octostrip controller.
03) Connect the power supply to the Octostrip.
04) Connect the device’s Ethernet connector to your software/light controller’s Ethernet connector. Use
a CAT-5/CAT-6 cable.
05) Set the IP address of your software/light controller to 2.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x, depending on the ArtNet
settings.
06) Set the subnet mask to 255.0.0.0. on both –the Octostrip controller and your software/light controller.
Make sure that all the fixtures in the network have a unique IP address.
07) If you want to connect more than one fixture, follow the example below.
Example:
01) Make sure that each connected Octostrip has a unique IP address.
02) Make sure that the subnet mask on each device is set to 255.0.0.0.
03) Set the universe of the first Octostrip to 1.
04) Set the first Octostrip’s DMX address to 001.
05) If you , for example, want to operate the Octostrip in 8CH mode, set the DMX starting address of the
second Octostrip to 9, third –17, etc.
06) Once you have reached the limit of 512 DMX addresses, set the universe of the next Octostrip to 2. In
this way, you again have 512 DMX channels to work with and you are able to connect many more
devices.
07) When connecting multiple Octostrips, you can repeat steps 3-6 up to 15 times, each time inserting
ascending universe numbers (as there are 15 universes available).
08) If you want to connect even more devices, set the net value of the next Octostrip to 2.
09) Repeat steps 3-7 until you reach the net limit (each separate net is equipped with 15 universes. There
are 127 nets in total. The number of nets depends on the software which you use).
10) Using your software (for example 50224 - Arkaos Media Master Express), map all the connected
devices, using the settings described above.
11) The Octostrips are now ready for use.
12) When creating large setups, it is recommended to use a 16-bit, high speed ethernet switch to
distribute the ArtNet data signal.

How to make a data cable
A standard ETHERNET cable can be used to replace the data cable required to transmit the data for the
LED Octostrip MKII.
Please follow the instructions below in order to create an extra net cable.
Take a standard net cable (CAT-5/ 5E /6) and connect it to the RJ45 connector, as shown in the picture
below (fig. 07). The wires should now be colored as follows:
Fig. 07
Software for controlling
In combination with Arkaos or DMT Software, you are able to play videos over the LED Octostrip MKII.
You only have to connect all the Octostrips and run your software.

Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to
run synchronized shows of two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined
number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the
data link can support.
Important:
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. To comply with the
EIA-485 standard, no more than 30 devices should be connected on one data link.
Connecting more than 30 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically
isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together, you must obtain data cables. You can purchase DAP Audio certified DMX cables
directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable,
please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic
interference.

Control Mode
The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller.
The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save it,
the controller will display the saved DMX address, next time.)
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign DMX fixture addresses, which is the first
channel with which the Octostrip will respond to the controller.
Please note, when you use the controller, the unit has 208channels.
When using multiple Octostrips, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Octostrip should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second
Octostrip should be 1+208=209 (209). Please, be sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in
order to control each Octostrip correctly. If two Octostrips are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Note: It is also possible to connect multiple devices by means of ArtNet. See page 13 for more
information.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Octostrip fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note: After switching on, the Octostrip will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or
not.
If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the “LED “ on the control panel will not flash.
If not, the problem may be:
•The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the LED Octostrip MKII.
•The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note: It is necessary to insert an XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
Display Off after 60 seconds
When no button is pressed for 60 seconds, the display will turn off.
To light up the display, you have to press the MODE, SETUP, UP or DOWN button.
Once you have pressed the button, the display will light up.
