Description
The ETC Ion Xe 20 is a compact, rental-ready lighting console designed to control conventional and moving fixtures, LEDs and media servers in professional environments. It balances a high channel count and advanced control tools with a straightforward surface suitable for touring, corporate events and theatre.

- Multi-user partitioning: Up to 99 discrete users with partitioned parameter control and full backup for collaborative operation.

- Advanced programming tools: Four pageable encoders, four palette types, effects engine, tinting and fade path tools, and user-configurable Magic Sheets for visual control layouts.
- Media and networking: Virtual Media Server for pixel-mapped effects and images. Dual configurable Ethernet ports with ETCNet2/Net3 (sACN), Art-Net and Avab UDP output. MIDI, SMPTE, Analog/Serial and OSC support.
