Compact control for automation systems.
The epiQ Mini is a compact automation console running iQ on the Navigator platform. Designed for projects where the control interface needs to match the scale of the system.
Both epiQ Mini and epiQ are part of the same family of automation consoles, running iQ on the Navigator platform. The difference is the physical interface and how much control surface the operator needs.
The epiQ console is designed for situations where the operator needs to manage multiple simultaneous cues, complex shows, or systems with many axes. The epiQ Mini is designed for environments where that level of simultaneous control isn’t required.
Both consoles provide the same control capability, the choice comes down to how much the operator needs to manage at once.
The Interface
The epiQ Mini is built around a touchscreen interface with integrated physical controls, giving operators direct access to motion and system control.
The console combines the iQ interface with tactile controls that support real-time operation:
Touchscreens for system feedback, cue management, and control
Sliders for channel speed scaling
Macro buttons for quick access to common functions
Assignment, Go, and Pause controls for cue execution
Joystick and adjustment controls for direct axis movement
Dedicated safety controls are integrated into the console, including E-Stop, Reset, and Hold-To-Run. The epiQ Mini can be used as a complete controller or integrated into larger setups with multiple consoles and operators.
Connections are clearly organized on the back panel of the console:
NAV:Net connections for the automation network
Display output for an external monitor
Network interfaces for system communication and remote support
Power and accessory connections
Placement
In many projects, console placement is defined by available space, sightlines to the stage, and proximity to other control systems. The compact footprint of the epiQ Mini makes it easier to integrate into these environments.
The console can be deployed in multiple configurations:
On a desk or fixed control position
On a rolling stand for flexible placement
With an external monitor when additional screen space is required
This flexibility allows the console to adapt to the space it’s in.
If you’re evaluating control interfaces for an upcoming project, we can provide guidance on console selection, system configuration, and integration.
