Martin VDO Sceptron XB 1000 mm, in cardboard box
Description
Martin VDO Sceptron XB 1000 mm LED Video Batten
The Martin VDO Sceptron XB is a compact, professional-grade LED video batten engineered for studio and production environments requiring pixel-mapped color control and precise on-camera rendering. Its 1000 mm form factor delivers dense, addressable color information in a package designed for flexible rigging and reliable studio operation. This fixture bridges the gap between compact size and output intensity, making it an efficient choice for production facilities and home studios managing complex lighting designs and on-camera work.
Optical Performance & Color Rendering
The RGBW LED array with 10 mm pixel pitch produces smooth gradients and pixel-mapped content across its full length, enabling precise color grading and lighting design in post-production workflows. A 125-degree viewing angle and 160° field angle ensure even light distribution for mid-throw and key-light applications, while high CRI, TM-30, and TLCI ratings guarantee accurate color reproduction that translates faithfully to camera sensors and final deliverables.
Control & Integration
The fixture accepts control via Martin P3 System Controller, Art-Net, and sACN protocols, allowing seamless integration into existing DMX and networked studio control systems. Exchangeable diffusers and lenses ship with the unit, enabling rapid optimization for different key distances and session-specific color mixing requirements.
