Overview
The VC-Strip family of narrow LED video strips is ideal for integration of video into stage and set designs, interiors, custom set elements and more. VC-Strips are fully pixel-level calibrated on brightness and colors for optimal uniformity and quality and are driven by Martin’s award-winning P3 System Controller family for smooth playback that outperforms any DMX-based system. VC-Strips are available in various lengths and can even be cut to required length on-site.
Features
- 8/4 individually controllable pixels
- 60 mm pixel pitch
- 750 nits of brightness
- High-quality, 16-bit per color image processing technology
- Pixel-level brightness and color calibration for optimal image quality
- P3/DMX controllable (automatic protocol detection)
- Intuitive mapping and addressing via P3 System Controller
- Combined power/data input (single cable for power and data input)
- Combined power/data thru (to daisy-chain up to 63 VC-Strip 60s)
- Supported by integrated power and data processor (P3 PowerPort 1500) and simple cabling system
- Length of VC-Strip can be customized on-site (simple cutting) to fit integration needs
- Compatible with VC-Grid 60
