Chauvet Professional Expands ÉPIX 2.0 Pixel-Mapping LED Display Series

Chauvet Professional announces the ÉPIX Tile 2.0. Designed to work with the other members of the ÉPIX 2.0 series, the new ÉPIX Tile 2.0 is a square-shaped 11.8 x 11.8" (300 x 300 mm) panel that contains 160 Tri-Color (red, green, blue) SMD LEDs.

The Tile 2.0 can be linked with the linear fixtures in the ÉPIX 2.0 series (ÉPIX Strip 2.0 and ÉPIX Bar 2.0) to set up full-color pixel-mapping displays in a variety of sizes and configurations.

"Pixel-mapping displays are being used increasingly in visual design; one reason being that they are very camera-friendly, so a growing number of lighting designers are using them as set pieces for video applications," says Anthony Chiappone, product manager for Chauvet Professional. "Of course, pixel displays are also continuing to grow in popularity at live events and venues.

"This new square-shaped panel expands the possibilities for creating dazzling displays with our very user-friendly ÉPIX 2.0 series," adds Chiappone. "The ÉPIX 2.0 series itself was designed to give lighting professionals of all levels of experience a fast, easy way to set up and operate pixel-mapping displays."

The ÉPIX Tile 2.0 is operated via a dedicated controller, the ÉPIX Drive 642 (sold separately), which utilizes industry standard Art-Net or Arkaos Kling-Net protocol. When used with Kling-Net protocol and ArKaos Media Master software (sold separately), ÉPIX 2.0 Series fixtures become--literally--a turnkey "plug-and-play" system that allows users to build professional pixel-mapping displays in minutes, the company says.

Designed for both the club/installation and touring/production markets, the ÉPIX Tile 2.0 is housed in an aluminum alloy material, providing a conveniently transportable pixel-mapping video system, the company says. Each tile weighs just 5.6lb (2.5kg) and measures a compact 11.8 x 11.8 x 4.6" (300 x 300 x 117 mm).
