Frequently asked questions
What viewing distance suits each strip's pixel pitch?
The VC-Strip 25's 25 mm pitch works best within 2–3 meters for sharp detail; the VC-Strip 30's 30 mm pitch is optimized for 3+ meters where individual pixels blend smoothly. Both support video mapping, so content choice also affects perceived resolution.
Which is better for outdoor or high-ambient-light use?
The VC-Strip 25 Creative's 4000 nits output outperforms the VC-Strip 30's 2750 nits in bright sunlight or well-lit stages. If your venue is outdoors or has strong ambient light, the VC-Strip 25 is the stronger choice.
Can I daisy-chain them together, and are there length limits?
Both support daisy-chaining up to 45 modules per chain via a single 4-pin Molex connector without external buffers. The VC-Strip 30's longer per-unit length (480 mm vs. 400 mm) means you need fewer modules to span the same distance.
Do both support the same control protocols?
Yes, both support Martin P3 System Control with full video mapping and direct DMX control, with real-time protocol toggling via P3 Switch channel. Control capabilities are identical; the difference is purely optical and physical form factor.
