    ÉPIX Flex Drive

    SKU: EPIXFLEXDRIVE

    ÉPIX Flex Drive controls the ÉPIX Flex 20 with 2 plug and play outputs that drive up to 4 ÉPIX Flex 20 at 960 LEDs each. Adding ÉPIX Flex Boost to each output doubles the capacity of the drive to 1920 LEDs or 8 ÉPIX Flex 20, which reduces cost per linear feet. To ease installation, ÉPIX Flex Drive allows for 75ft of extension cables between it and the first ÉPIX Flex 20. Use either pixel control or its simplified 17 / 34-channel control personalities to support changing colors and built-in automatic programs. Webserver is supported for remote configuration and for firmware updates.

    ÉPIX Flex Drive FAQ’s

    Quickly find answers to common questions about setup, operation, and features of the ÉPIX Flex Drive
    What is the ÉPIX Flex Drive and what is it used for?

    The ÉPIX Flex Drive is the central power and control unit for the ÉPIX Flex 20 LED strip system. It acts as the brain, sending power and data to the light strips, which allows you to create dynamic and colorful lighting effects for stages, installations, and events.

    How many ÉPIX Flex 20 light strips can one drive control?

    The ÉPIX Flex Drive can control up to four ÉPIX Flex 20 light strips on its own (two per output). You can double this capacity to control a total of eight strips by adding the optional ÉPIX Flex Boost accessory to each output.

    How flexible is the installation with the ÉPIX Flex Drive?

    Installation is very flexible. You can place the drive up to 75 feet away from your first light strip, giving you plenty of freedom in your setup. It features a simple screen for on-the-spot configuration and can also be managed remotely through a web browser for easy adjustments.
