Martin P3-150 LED Video System Controller

Martin P3-150 LED Video System Controller

The P3-150 is a compact and ergonomic LED video controller built to handle complex pixel-mapping and video-to-lighting integration without unnecessary complexity. This unit bridges video content and DMX lighting control seamlessly, making it the workhorse for installations running Martin Creative LED products and P3-enabled MAC moving heads. Its intuitive GUI and real-time visualization tools put sophisticated video mapping within reach of operators at any experience level.

Video Processing & Pixel Control

The controller processes Full HD video input (1920×1080) at up to 60fps with progressive scan, delivering 8-bit RGB 4:4:4 color sampling and 16-bit per-channel processing depth (48 bits per pixel) for smooth, color-accurate output. System latency of 2 frames keeps video-to-lighting sync tight, while the 520,000-pixel processing capacity (expandable) handles even large-scale installations with room to grow.

Connectivity & Integration

Input flexibility spans DVI video input, up to 128 universes of Art-Net or sACN, and proprietary Martin P3 over Gigabit Ethernet (100m device-to-device range), plus 4 × USB 2.0 ports for peripherals and file transfer. The controller supports 2,000 fixtures (expandable) and enables real-time cross-fade or toggle between video-mapping and DMX pixel-mapping control, with all connected products reporting status back for centralized monitoring.
