Frequently asked questions
Which is better for outdoor or high-ambient-light stages?
The VC-Strip 30 Creative at 2750 nits is designed for bright environments. The VC-Strip 60 Creative's 750 nits may struggle in direct sunlight or outdoor venues without significant ambient light control.
What is the pixel pitch difference, and why does it matter?
The VC-Strip 30 has a 30mm pixel pitch (8x1 array), while the VC-Strip 60 has a 60mm pitch (4x1 array). Tighter pitch on the VC-Strip 30 enables sharper video playback and more detailed imagery when viewed up close.
Do both strips support the same control methods?
Yes, both support Martin P3 control and DMX protocols with 4-pin Molex connectors. Both allow up to 63 units daisy-chained on a single control line for scalable configurations.
Which is more suited to color temperature work?
The VC-Strip 60 explicitly advertises 2000K to 11000K color temperature range, making it ideal for warm tungsten to cool daylight simulation. The VC-Strip 30 focuses on video playback and brightness rather than tunable color temperature effects.
