Martin VC-Strip 30 Creative 8x1 LED Video Strip
Description
Martin VC-Strip 30 Creative 8x1 LED Video Strip
The VC-Strip 30 Creative is a compact, high-brightness LED video strip engineered for seamless integration into studio backdrops, set pieces, and control-room installations. Its narrow 19 mm profile and lightweight 31 g construction make it easy to mount and conceal within custom frameworks without compromising on luminous output. Fully pixel-level calibrated for brightness and color uniformity, this strip delivers professional video playback that surpasses standard DMX-driven systems, ideal for capturing consistent, color-accurate footage in controlled recording environments.
Optical Performance & Recording Quality
The 8 x 1 LED array with 30 mm pixel pitch produces 2750 nits of calibrated output and 248 lumen per meter, ensuring vivid, punchy imagery that translates cleanly through camera sensors and maintains visual integrity across multiple takes. The 16-bit per color image processing and pixel-level color calibration guarantee consistent, high-quality visuals across multiple units and seamless color matching between strips, critical for maintaining footage continuity and reducing post-production color correction work.
Control & Studio Integration
The strip supports both Martin P3 control and direct DMX control, with the flexibility to toggle between modes in real-time using P3 Switch channels for hybrid operation. Power and data combine into a single 4-pin Molex connector for simplified cabling, and up to 63 units can be daisy-chained together using the thru-connector, allowing scalable video wall configurations with minimal infrastructure—perfect for expanding production setups without rewiring between sessions.
