Product Description
Martin Lighting P3-275 System Controller
Overview
The Martin P3-275 System Controller supports video input up to DCI 4K (4096x2160) and is intended for bigger shows spanning larger stages with higher fixture quantities. It is also ideal for bridges and large buildings that typically need a larger workspace. This Controller allows Martin fixtures to be easily controlled from a lighting desk, video source or a mix of both. They integrate with third-party software by importing and exporting industry-standard MVR files, eliminating duplicate actions and enabling designs to be easily shared.
Uniquely creative looks can be created for each application, whether using video content, traditional DMX controls, Art-Net / sACN PixelMapping, or a mix of control methods.
The entire system is fully synchronized, ensuring all elements work cohesively without visible latency. They support DCI 4K video input over HDMI and NDI inputs, and output up to 1,040,000 pixels to up to 6,000 fixtures. Real-time previews show you how DMX controls and video will be rendered on the fixtures.
