Martin VC-Grid 60 Creative 8x8 LED Video Tile
Description
Martin VC-Grid 60 Creative 8x8 LED Video Tile
The VC-Grid 60 is an ultra-lightweight LED video module engineered for seamless integration into studio backdrops, set design elements, control room installations, and creative spatial applications. Its compact 480 mm square footprint and 15 mm profile allow maximum flexibility to combine multiple tiles in countless configurations without compromising sight lines or visual continuity. The 60 mm pixel pitch delivers bright, individually controllable output suitable for mid-to-close viewing distances in professional production environments.
Display Performance & Brightness
This module achieves 750 nits of calibrated output with 2,250 lumens per square meter, ensuring vibrant visuals in lit studio spaces without excessive power draw. The 8x8 LED array provides 64 individually controllable pixels with 16-bit per color processing and pixel-level brightness and color calibration, guaranteeing consistent image quality and seamless matching across multiple tiles for cohesive on-camera or virtual set composition.
Control, Integration & Power Efficiency
The VC-Grid 60 supports both DMX control and Martin P3 control with video mapping, plus hybrid operation allowing real-time toggling between DMX, pixel mapping, and video mapping modes. Its integrated 4-pin Molex connectors for combined power and data enable straightforward daisy-chaining of up to 12 tiles per chain, while maximum power consumption of just 25 watts at full intensity minimizes thermal load and electrical infrastructure demands in studio environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What control options does the VC-Grid 60 support?
The tile supports DMX control, Martin P3 control with video mapping, and hybrid mode—you can toggle in real-time between DMX, pixel mapping, and video mapping without powering down. It connects via standard 4-pin Molex connectors for combined power and data.
How many tiles can I daisy-chain together?
You can daisy-chain up to 12 VC-Grid 60 tiles per chain using the integrated 4-pin Molex connectors, enabling large installations with straightforward wiring.
What is the pixel pitch and viewing distance?
The 60 mm pixel pitch is suited for mid-to-close viewing distances in professional environments. With an 8x8 array (64 individually controllable pixels), it works well for stage accents, set pieces, and architectural features rather than large-format displays.
What is the brightness and power consumption?
The VC-Grid 60 delivers 750 nits of calibrated output (2,250 lumens per square meter) with a maximum power draw of just 25 watts at full intensity, minimizing thermal load and electrical infrastructure demands.
Is the tile semi-transparent?
Yes—the unmasked areas offer 49% light transparency, allowing the tile to be integrated into set elements or architectural designs while maintaining sight lines and visual continuity.
