USA - Chauvet, a leading manufacturer of professional lighting and video equipment, debuts Épix - an exclusive series of flexible, pixel mapping LED fixtures run by the ArKaos Kling-Net protocol.

"The launch of the Épix Series marks a bold direction in the world of affordable pixel mapping fixtures for Chauvet," CEO Albert Chauvet said.

Épix Bar and Épix Strip generate intense output due to tri-coloured SMD LEDs, which are 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.

The Kling-Net protocol automatically configures real-time video data, thus removing the complexity of setting up standard LED displays and speeding the process. The protocol is plug-and-play, which makes it very simple to use directly from a computer, and cost efficient by eliminating the need for expensive video hardware converters.

"Kling-Net opens the market to new lighting designers who have previously been deterred by the technical complexity and expense of LED lighting systems," said ArKaos CEO, Marco Hinic. "Kling-Net removes these barriers and makes LED lighting available, easy and fun. This new relationship with Chauvet will greatly expand the visibility of Kling-Net protocol. We are pleased to work with a partner that can take our technology and deliver it to those eager to use video, which has now become an important part of show, lighting and décor design."
