Martin VDO Sceptron 10 LED Video Batten 1000 mm Long
Description
Martin VDO Sceptron 10 LED Video Batten 1000 mm
The VDO Sceptron 10 is a compact linear LED video fixture engineered for rental and touring applications where clean cable management and consistent calibration across multiple units are essential. Its slim 27 mm profile and integrated power-data cabling system allow for daisy-chained deployment with the power supply positioned up to 50 meters away, eliminating messy driver box installations on stage. The 1000 mm length delivers substantial output while remaining portable enough for rapid rigging and repositioning.
Optical Performance & Calibration
Output reaches 750 lumens per meter and 250 candelas per meter in calibrated mode, with 8333 nits total output and 6500K color temperature ensuring bright, daylight-balanced imagery. Pixel-level brightness and color calibration deliver homogenous appearance across multiple units, and the 10 mm pixel pitch provides crisp image definition without visible line structure at standard viewing distances.
Control, Integration & Durability
Control via the Martin P3 System Controller family enables intuitive mapping, video playback, and real-time effects, with full backwards compatibility for DMX workflows on smaller installations. The IP65 protection rating and extruded aluminum construction withstand outdoor touring, while 50,000-hour minimum LED lifespan ensures extended service life in rental rotation.
