Signal Connections
The ÉPIX Drive 2000 IP can link to a controller or controller software using an ethernet connection. If using other
Art-Net™, sACN, or Kling-Net-compatible products with the ÉPIX Drive 2000 IP, they can all be controlled individually on
a single network. See the User Manual for information about how to connect and configure the product for these signals.
Control Personalities
The ÉPIX Drive 2000 IP uses Art-Net™ an sACN for its control personalities:
Art-Net™ Connection
Art-Net™ is an Ethernet protocol that uses TCP/IP that transfers large amount of DMX512 data using an etherCON RJ45
connection over a large network. An Art-Net™ protocol document is available from www.chauvetprofessional.com.
Art-Net™ Designed by and Copyright Artistic Licence Holdings Ltd.
sACN Connection
Also known as ANSI E1.31, Streaming-ACN is an Ethernet protocol that uses the layering and formatting of Architecture
for Control Networks to transport DMX512 data over IP or any otherACN compatible network.ACN is maintained by the
Professional Lighting and Sound Association (PLASA).
Kling-Net Connection
Kling-Net is a network protocol that allows auto configuration of display devices using an etherCON RJ45 Ethernet
connection. Refer to the ArKaos software manual for detailed instructions on programming this product.
