Frequently asked questions
What's the main functional difference between these two products?
The VC-Grid 30 is a video display tile with 64 individually addressable pixels designed for displaying moving video or mapped graphics across multiple tiles. The RUSH PAR 3 is a single RGB wash light that mixes color but does not display video or pixel-mapped content.
Which is better for theater or houses of worship?
The RUSH PAR 3 is better for acoustic sensitivity because it operates completely silently with no cooling fan. The VC-Grid 30 would suit theater applications that specifically need video projection or pixel-mapped visuals at high brightness.
Can these be used together in the same rig?
Yes. The RUSH PAR 3 uses standard DMX512/RDM control, and the VC-Grid 30 supports both Martin P3 protocol and direct DMX control, allowing both to integrate into a single lighting control system.
What's the brightness comparison?
The VC-Grid 30 produces 2750 nits peak brightness per tile (240 x 240 mm), designed for video display visibility. The RUSH PAR 3 is a color wash light optimized for color saturation rather than peak nits, and is rated by its 36-watt COB LED output rather than nits.
