Chauvet Professional Epix Flex Drive Pixel Controller

Chauvet Professional Epix Flex Drive is a processing and power center designed to control the Epix Flex 20 pixel lighting system. It enables two plug and play outputs to drive connected Epix Flex 20 strips for pixel control and simplified channel control. This makes it ideal for touring, rental, and installation environments where flexible control and scalable output are required.

The unit supports DMX, Art-Net, and sACN control and provides multiple personalities for pixel level or simplified operation. Configuration is handled through a built-in OLED display and menu, with support for remote configuration and firmware updates through a webserver interface. Power management allows placement up to 75 ft from the first Epix Flex 20 for installation flexibility.

This controller supports daisy chaining from two outputs and can expand capacity when used with Epix Flex Boost on each output. It supports workflows that require color changing, built-in automated programs, and remote management. The 1U rackmount form factor supports integration into standard production and installation racks.
