Martin P3-275 System Controller
Description
Martin P3-275 System Controller
The Martin P3-275 is a professional-grade LED system controller built into a compact 2U rackmount chassis, designed for pixel mapping and fixture control in production and installation environments. Its steel and aluminum construction and matte black finish integrate seamlessly into any technical rack setup, while the dual-monitor support and intuitive interface put real-time control at your fingertips. This controller handles the computational demands of complex, high-resolution video mapping with minimal latency.
Processing Power & Signal Handling
The P3-275 processes up to 1,040,000 pixels and controls 6,000 fixtures (both expandable), with 16-bit color depth per channel (48 bits per pixel) delivering smooth, precise color gradations across installations. System latency of just 2 frames ensures synchronized playback between video and lighting for tight timing in productions and live sessions.
Connectivity & Real-Time Control
Multiple input standards—HDMI 2.0 and NDI at up to 4K/75fps, plus DCI 4K support—provide flexible integration with modern broadcast and media servers. The controller accepts up to 1,024 universes of Art-Net or sACN, enabling independent control of fixture counts across networked systems for comprehensive session control.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the P3-275 actually control, and how many devices can it handle?
The P3-275 processes up to 1.04 million pixels and controls 6,000 fixtures (both expandable), with support for up to 1,024 universes of Art-Net or sACN over the network. This makes it suitable for large installations spanning multiple LED walls, architectural lighting, and broadcast set pieces.
What video inputs does it accept, and how fast is the response time?
It accepts HDMI 2.0 and NDI input at up to 4K/75fps, plus DCI 4K support for broadcast workflows. System latency is just 2 frames, ensuring synchronized playback between video content and lighting—critical for real-time live productions.
Is the P3-275 suitable for small venues or single LED screens?
No; this is a professional-grade system built for large-scale installations and broadcast productions. Its processing power and network capacity are designed for complex, high-resolution projects—smaller venues and simpler setups would not require its capabilities.
What kind of color control and image manipulation can I perform in real time?
You can adjust Hue, Saturation, Brightness, Contrast, Lowlight, and Gain in real time, plus apply gamma curve adjustments, color temperature correction, and color space conversion. It also supports global and mixed pixel-pitch scaling and real-time preview of incoming video and mapping.
How does it integrate with my existing broadcast or media server setup?
The P3-275 connects via HDMI 2.0, NDI, or DCI 4K inputs and can receive up to 1,024 universes of Art-Net or sACN, allowing integration with modern video servers, lighting consoles, and networked broadcast systems. This flexibility makes it easy to incorporate into complex production workflows.
