Frequently asked questions
What is each product designed to do?
The VC-Grid 25 is an LED video tile that creates visual displays with addressable pixels and video content mapping. The PDE Junction Box is a passive signal consolidator that merges power, DMX, and Ethernet inputs into a single output for lighting fixtures.
Can I use these together?
These serve different purposes in separate signal chains. The VC-Grid operates as a display source; the PDE is an infrastructure tool for lighting control systems. They are not designed to integrate with each other.
Which handles outdoor use better?
The PDE Passive Junction Box has an IP65 weatherproof rating explicitly for outdoor venues. The VC-Grid 25 description does not specify weatherproofing or outdoor suitability.
How complex is setup and integration?
The VC-Grid uses a single 4-pin connector for daisy-chaining with minimal cabling and supports multiple control protocols. The PDE uses industry-standard Neutrik connectors and consolidates three signal types, reducing overall cable count in an existing Martin rig.
