In this episode of Light Snacks, we take a closer look at the key enhancements to the EPIX Drive 4 IP.
The most noticeable upgrade is the new full-color display paired with a rotary encoder. This streamlined interface makes it easy to navigate settings, view port modes, monitor capacity, and check connected fixtures at a glance. Built-in discovery automatically detects fixtures across all ports and sets power mode, saving valuable setup time.
Users can also access onboard test patterns, output control, and simple mapping tools directly from the menu, reducing the need for external configuration during prep.
MEET THE GEAR:
On the connectivity side, three etherCON ports enable Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol, allowing for redundant network paths and greater system reliability. Combined with IP65-rated construction, protective port caps, and multiple mounting options including omega bracket compatibility and included rack ears, the driver is ready for touring, installation, and outdoor applications.
