Description
Martin VDO Sceptron XB 320 mm LED Light Engine
The Martin VDO Sceptron XB 320 mm is a compact, full-color LED engine built for integration into lighting fixtures and custom installations where precise color control and networked operation are essential. This lightweight unit delivers professional color mixing and dimming in a form factor that fits tight architectural and theatrical applications, making it ideal for studio setups requiring precise lighting control across networked systems.
Optical Performance & Color Control
Built with RGBW LEDs and a 10 mm pixel pitch, this engine provides smooth color blending across the full visible spectrum with independent control of red, green, blue, and white channels from 0–100%. Variable color temperature ranges from 1,800 K to 12,850 K, while integrated tint control allows green-magenta shift adjustment (Δuv -0.05 – +0.05) for precise white-point matching and creative color work—critical for consistent session-to-session lighting and color-critical recording environments.
Control, Integration & Deployment
The unit supports Art-Net, sACN, and Martin P3 control protocols, making it compatible with industry-standard lighting consoles and networked control systems for seamless integration into existing studio infrastructure. An IP65 rating qualifies it for both indoor and temporary outdoor use, while a 125-degree viewing angle ensures even light distribution across typical installation distances and recording spaces.
