Smarter DMX networking starts here

In live production, things don’t always go to plan. Fixtures flicker. Timings drift. And suddenly, you’re troubleshooting instead of running the show. Artistic Licence has a solution with rackSplit octo.

Built for the realities of touring, theatre and live events, rackSplit octo is a one-in / eight-out DMX/RDM optosplitter designed to just keep working, no matter what you throw at it. Its ultra-slim 1U design (just 50mm deep) makes it perfect for high-density racks on the road or in tight installs.

But what really sets it apart? When fixtures don’t behave – as they often don’t – Data Fix mode steps in to:

• Filter problematic RDM traffic
• Correct DMX timing issues
• Stabilise flicker from non-compliant fixtures

It’s that get-out-of-jail-free card when the rig won’t co-operate.

Built like a true workhorse and engineered for the demands of the industry:

• Optically isolated input for system protection
• Transient-protected outputs to guard against faults and miswiring
• Reliable performance across touring, theatre, and installation environments

Designed for the real world:

• Double up units in a single rack space (front/back mounting)
• Save space without sacrificing capability
• Deploy confidently in challenging set-ups
