The ENTTEC Pixelator Mini is an installation-grade 32-universe eDMX-to-SPI pixel converter with 8 PLink output ports, PoE support, and built-in surge protection, designed for large-scale LED pixel dot and strip installations — and includes a free 16-universe ENTTEC LED Mapper (ELM) license. From the Manufacturer The Pixelator Mini is the central hub of ENTTEC's PLink pixel control system, converting Art-Net, sACN, and ESP input into SPI pixel data across 8 RJ45 PLink output ports. Each port carries up to 2 universes of data in standard mode, with Overdrive Mode automatically activating when more than 2 universes per port are configured — bringing total output capacity to 32 universes (16,384 channels). Connect a PLink Injector or IP PLink Injector to each output port to drive LED pixel strips and dots over distances of up to 300 metres per run. For constant voltage strip applications, pair with ENTTEC's CVC4 dimmers. The Pixelator Mini supports over 20 pre-listed pixel protocols and allows users to create custom protocols via the web interface without requiring a firmware update. An internal buffer and sync logic keeps all eight PLink output ports perfectly synchronized, and ArtSync ensures multiple Pixelator Mini units across a project remain frame-accurate — eliminating jitter, lag, and content tearing across large LED matrices. Universe-to-port assignment is fully flexible, pixel grouping is supported to reduce DMX channel counts, and pixel ordering can be configured to match any standard fixture type. Surge protection with resettable fuses and TVS suppression is built into every port for reliable 24/7 operation. The ABS and anodized aluminium enclosure mounts to a rack, surface, or TS35 DIN rail with included hardware, and power is supplied via 12–24V DC jack or IEEE 802.3af PoE. Every Pixelator Mini purchase includes a free 16-universe license for ENTTEC LED Mapper (ELM) pixel mapping software.
