ETC Develops Paradigm Processors that Double Control Capacity

ETC Paradigm Architectural Control Processors

ETC has released new versions of their Paradigm Architectural Control Processors, doubling the capacity of their flagship architectural control system while reducing system cost with a DIN rail mount model.

The new Mk2 versions of the Paradigm Architectural Control Processors are the heart of ETC’s Paradigm architectural control system, controlling channels, groups, presets, macros, and sequences. They are available in two models: the enclosure version (P‑ACP‑E), designed to fit in ETC’s ERn and DRd cabinets; and the compact DIN rail mounted version (P‑ACP‑D) for easy deployment across a site. Both deliver 2,048 channels of control over DMX and sACN and connect with up to 128 stations and sensors. 

Releasing along with the new processors is a DIN rail mounted Station Power Supply (P‑SPS‑D) which provides power and data for up to 63 stations. The new P‑SPS‑D is designed to work exclusively with the DIN rail version of the Paradigm Architectural Processor.

“LEDs have pushed the complexity of architectural control systems to new levels,” says Shawn Fernandez, Architectural Controls Product Marketing Manager at ETC. “The new Paradigm Architectural Control Processor doubles the sACN channel count to accommodate these larger systems. Plus the new DIN rail version takes up much less space and makes it easier to install.”

All of these products are available to quote now, with shipping expected in August 2025.
