You won’t meet a more powerful long-range pixel LED controller

The PixLite® T8-S Mk3 is a powerful long-range pixel LED controller that replaces Advatek's bestselling T8-S Mk2 controller. This new generation controller was developed to meet overwhelming demand from our customers for an even more powerful long-range solution in a reliable, user-friendly system. The PixLite® T8-S Mk3 transmits up to 96 universes of data to eight PixLite® R2/R4 receivers at distances of up to 300m – perfect for any professional installation where the LEDs will be separated by some distance.

Advatek's Mk3 family of pixel controllers is tested and certified for professional and commercial applications. Wherever your project, you can confidently deploy an Advatek pixel solution with class-leading value, performance and features. The Mk3 family is protected electrically, won't interfere with other building management and control systems or affect other sensitive RF, network and communications infrastructure.

Advatek equipment is proudly made in Australia for ultimate manufacturing quality control and is also covered by a new industry leading five-year product warranty for your absolute peace of mind.

Powered by the mighty PixLite® Mk3 processor

PixLite® Mk3 is Advatek's state-of-the-art processor. It uses sophisticated third generation firmware to enable totally unforgettable lighting displays.

01

Gamma correction for pixels of all resolutions. Dimming curves can be adjusted to better match the human eye, no longer limited to pixels above 8-bits. Pixels will appear more vivid and accurate.

02

Extremely fast refresh rates. The Mk3 processor can handle hundreds of frames per second, allowing for fast and dynamic effects displayed with higher reliability.

03

Dithering. Artificially generate higher resolution pixel control, to make low-resolution pixels appear much higher.

04

Dynamic adjustment. Thanks to Auto-Sync, the outgoing frame rate will dynamically adjust to the incoming frame, even without an external synchronization source. This reduces the chance of out-of-sync pixel systems and tearing.
