    Hi,
    MadMapper will send ArtNet or sACN to the Enttec Octo depending on the fixture you choose in MadMapper. For instance if you create a "300x1 RGB" fixture definition, it will take 300x3 DMX channels, so 900, a bit less than 2 DMX universes.
    You then have to configure your Enttec Octo to forward the RGB data coming from MadMapper on the specified DMX universe / channel, to the right output of your LED driver with the correct settings.
    Have a look at our video tutorials on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC9p0f ... 3n9fXFjpgg
    Cheers
