Chauvet Epix

Chauvet’s Épix is a series of pixel mapping LED fixtures run by ArKaos Kling-Net protocol. Épix Bar and Épix Strip feature tri-colored SMD LEDs set at a pixel pitch of 25 millimeters. Épix Bar has 160 SMD LEDs and is self-contained with built-in operating features, while Épix Strip incorporates 40 SMD LEDs and uses Épix Drive 640—a separate controller which operates up to 16 Épix Strip fixtures.
