Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this fixture?
B-Stock means the VDO Sceptron 20 is fully functional and factory-calibrated, but may have minor cosmetic imperfections on the housing or finish. All optical performance, LED output, and control features are identical to new units.
Can I use this with existing DMX systems, or do I need the P3 controller?
The VDO Sceptron 20 is backwards-compatible with standard DMX control for smaller setups using a P3 PowerPort (1500, 1000 IP, or 375 DMX). You can also use the P3 System Controller for advanced mapping and video functions, or toggle between DMX and P3 control in real-time using a P3 Switch.
How is the power and data cabling set up, and can the power supply be remote?
The fixture uses integrated combined power and data cabling that daisy-chains multiple units on a single cable run. The power supply (backstage-mounted) can be located up to 50 meters away, eliminating multiple driver boxes and messy cabling on set or on stage.
Is this fixture suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the VDO Sceptron 20 is IP65-rated for outdoor environments. It also features field-exchangeable diffusers and lenses so you can adapt the optical output for different weather and lighting conditions without replacing the entire fixture.
What is the pixel pitch, and what does that mean for image resolution?
The VDO Sceptron 20 has a 20 mm pixel pitch, which defines the spacing between individual LED pixels and determines the viewing distance and image sharpness. This pitch is ideal for mid-range viewing distances typical in touring and live event production.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $38 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
