Description
Martin P3 PowerPort 1000 IP Rental Model
The P3 PowerPort 1000 IP Rental is a professional-grade power and data processor built to run Martin's rental-market creative LED video fixtures, including the VDO Sceptron and VC-Dots. Its compact, convection-cooled chassis delivers stable power distribution and high-speed video processing in a form factor designed for flexible deployment—indoors, outdoors, or mounted remotely from your main control setup. The robust IP66-rated connectors and wide operating temperature range keep this unit dependable across the road, festival grounds, rental inventories, and touring environments.
Power Delivery & Connectivity
Four combined power and data outputs provide up to 5 amps per channel (20 amps total) to drive multiple LED fixtures simultaneously. The unit accepts AC input from 120–277 V nominal at 50/60 Hz with auto-ranging switch-mode power supply, consuming just 22 W in idle state and 1000 W typical under full load. Dual P3 data connectors (M16 cable glands with internal RJ45) ensure seamless integration with Martin P3 System Controllers, while the Neutrik PowerCON TRUE1 power input simplifies field connections and improves reliability in fast-changing live setups.
Build & Environmental Performance
Machined aluminum construction and convection cooling eliminate fan noise, critical for live events and rental installations where acoustic silence matters. The IP66-rated outdoor connectors and operating temperature range of −30°C to 55°C ensure consistent performance in rain, snow, desert heat, and dust. At 8.5 kg (18.8 lbs.) with dimensions of 520 × 460 × 146 mm, the unit balances durability with portability, fitting easily into touring rigs, load-in vehicles, and temporary installations.
