Martin VDO Sceptron 10 LED Video Batten 320 mm Long
Description
Martin VDO Sceptron 10 LED Video Batten 320 mm
The VDO Sceptron 10 is a compact linear LED video fixture designed for studio lighting design, set photography, and small-format video production where clean cable management and flexible control streamline your workflow. Its 320 mm form factor delivers full brightness and color calibration in a footprint that fits efficiently into studio rigs and portable setups, with integrated power and data cabling that allows the PSU to be positioned remotely—up to 50 meters away—eliminating cable clutter and simplifying on-set or in-studio logistics.
Optical Performance & On-Camera Rendering
Calibrated output reaches 750 lumen per meter with pixel-level brightness and color uniformity across the 32-LED array at 10 mm pixel pitch. The 16-bit per color image processing and dual refresh rates—1001 Hz standard or 4004 Hz high refresh—ensure flicker-free performance on camera sensors and smooth video mapping without banding or artifacts, while the 50,000-hour LED minimum lifetime delivers consistent output across extended production schedules and long-term studio use.
Control & Production Integration
The fixture operates natively with the Martin P3 System Controller family for intuitive color correction, pixel mapping, and video sync workflows, while remaining fully backward compatible with DMX for integration with existing studio lighting control systems. Daisy-chain up to 50 meters from a single power supply using the combined power and data cabling, and toggle between DMX, PixelMapping, and VideoMapping modes in real time using the P3 Switch channel to adapt quickly to changing production needs.

At a Glance
The Martin VDO Sceptron 10 is a pixel-addressable LED batten that brings broadcast-grade video mapping and color-calibrated light to studio and small-format production environments. Its 16-bit per-color processing, high-refresh modes, and native P3 controller integration make it ideal for content creation, virtual production, and music-video work where flicker-free on-camera performance and precise color grading are critical. Choose it to expand your lighting toolkit with a modular, field-serviceable fixture that handles both playback mapping and real-time DMX control without the footprint or complexity of larger systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pixel pitch and how many LEDs does the Sceptron 10 have?
The Sceptron 10 features a 1 × 32 LED array with a 10 mm pixel pitch (center-to-center spacing). This compact linear arrangement delivers 750 lumens per meter of calibrated output, making it suitable for close viewing and detailed video-mapping applications.
Can I run multiple Sceptron 10 fixtures from a single power supply?
Yes. The fixtures daisy-chain using integrated power and data cabling and can run up to 50 meters from a single compatible power supply (Martin P3 PowerPort 1500/1000 IP, DMX PowerPort 375, or generic 48 VDC PSU). This eliminates the need for multiple driver boxes and simplifies cable routing.
What control systems work with the Sceptron 10?
The fixture operates natively with the Martin P3 System Controller family for intuitive mapping, addressing, and video-mapping workflows. It is also fully backward-compatible with standard DMX for legacy setups, and can toggle between DMX, PixelMapping, and VideoMapping modes in real time.
Does it have flicker-free performance on camera?
Yes. The Sceptron 10 offers dual refresh rates—1001 Hz standard or 4004 Hz high refresh—combined with 16-bit per-color image processing to ensure flicker-free performance on camera and smooth video mapping without artifacts.
What is the operating temperature range and IP rating?
The Sceptron 10 operates from −30°C to +55°C and carries an IP65 protection rating, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor/wet-environment deployments in touring and rental scenarios.
