Martin VC-Strip 30 Creative 8x1 LED Video Strip
Description
Martin VC-Strip 30 Creative 8x1 LED Video Strip
The VC-Strip 30 Creative is a compact, high-brightness LED video strip built for lighting designers and production crews who demand reliable, pixel-perfect visuals on stage. Its narrow 19 mm profile and lightweight 31 g construction integrate seamlessly into set designs and architectural frameworks without sacrificing output. Fully pixel-level calibrated for brightness and color uniformity, this strip delivers professional video playback that outperforms standard DMX-driven systems and holds up under the demands of touring and live events.
Optical Performance & Brightness
The 8 x 1 LED array with 30 mm pixel pitch delivers 2750 nits of calibrated output and 248 lumen per meter, punching through stage lighting and high-ambient environments with vivid, sharp imagery. The 16-bit per color image processing and pixel-level color calibration ensure consistent, high-quality visuals across multiple units and seamless color matching between strips—critical for gig-to-gig reliability.
Control & Integration
The strip operates via both Martin P3 control and direct DMX control, with the flexibility to switch between modes in real-time using P3 Switch channels for hybrid operation—ideal for mixed touring rigs. Power and data run through a single 4-pin Molex connector for clean, simplified cabling on crowded stage floors, and up to 63 units daisy-chain together using the thru-connector, letting you build scalable video walls with minimal wiring complexity.
