Martin VC-Grid 16x16 15 RGB

The VC-Grid 15 is a small, 240 x 240 mm LED video module with a 15 mm pixel pitch. Useful in creating customized LED video solutions with maximum artistic flexibility and a minimum of effort, the VC-Grid’s compact size makes it extremely suitable for integration into stage designs, set elements, creative ceilings, lobbies and much more. Used with or without a front diffuser, multiple VC-Grids can be combined in a countless variety of ways for ultimate design freedom. A combined power/data cable allows VC-Grids to be daisy-chained for easy setup and less cabling

• Wide range of pixel pitches to suit every application
• Easy cabling, mapping and configuration
• Bright and fully calibrated for optimal consistency

Features

• 256 individually controllable pixels
• 5000 nits of brightness
• High-quality 16-bit per color image processing technology
• Pixel-level brightness and color calibration for optimal image quality
• P3/DMX controllable (automatic protocol detection)
• Intuitive mapping and addressing via P3 System Controller
• Combined power/data input (single cable for power and data input)
• Combined power/data thru (to daisy-chain multiple VC-Grids)
• Supported by integrated power and data processor (P3 PowerPort 1500) and simple cabling system
• Custom designs available on request (pixel pitch and module dimensions)
