    ÉPIX Drive 900 FAQ’s

    Quickly find answers to common questions about setup, operation, and features of the ÉPIX Drive 900
    What is the purpose of the ÉPIX Drive 900?

    The ÉPIX Drive 900 is the central power supply and processor for the ÉPIX Tour lighting system. It doesn’t produce light itself; instead, it powers and controls ÉPIX Strip Tour or Bar Tour fixtures, allowing you to create complex and dynamic video and lighting displays with ease.

    How do you set up and configure the ÉPIX Drive 900?

    Setup is designed to be simple. You can easily configure settings using the built-in screen. It also has an auto-address function that automatically detects and organizes your connected lights, saving significant time. For advanced control, you can access a web portal to manage settings remotely without needing physical access to the unit.

    How flexible is the ÉPIX Drive 900 for different stage designs?

    It is highly flexible. It supports various industry-standard control protocols (Art-Net, Kling-Net, and sACN) for wide compatibility. Its advanced power management lets you place the Drive 900 far from the actual lights, giving you more freedom in your lighting design and setup.
