Martin VC-Strip 15 Creative 16x1 LED Video Strip
Description
Martin VC-Strip 15 Creative 16x1 LED Video Strip
The VC-Strip 15 Creative 16x1 is a narrow LED video strip engineered for seamless integration into studio lighting rigs, backdrop installations, and live recording setups. Its compact 15 mm pixel pitch delivers bright, uniformly calibrated output with pixel-level control, making it ideal for applications demanding precise visual consistency in broadcast, streaming, and hybrid event production without the latency constraints of traditional DMX systems.
Optical Performance & Brightness for Studio Use
This strip produces 5000 nits of total output in calibrated mode with 225 lumen per meter, ensuring reliable visibility and color accuracy across camera capture and varied ambient lighting conditions. The 16×1 pixel configuration with full pixel-level brightness and color calibration guarantees optimal image quality on camera and consistent matching between multiple units in extended installations, critical for maintaining color continuity during multi-take sessions.
Control & Integration for Production Workflows
The VC-Strip 15 Creative supports both Martin P3 protocol (via Martin P3 PowerPort) and DMX control, with real-time toggle capability between modes using P3 Switch channels. Dual 4-pin Molex connectors (power/data input and thru) simplify daisy-chaining up to 63 modules on a single run, with flexible 48 VDC power options including Martin P3 PowerPort 1500, DMX PowerPort 375, or generic 48 VDC supplies, allowing efficient rigging and quick reconfiguration between session setups.
