Description
Martin VDO Fatron 20 LED Video Blade 320 mm Long
The VDO Fatron 20 is a compact outdoor-rated LED video batten engineered for dynamic 3D stage designs and creative video mapping. Its 320 mm form factor delivers professional brightness and color calibration in a format that integrates seamlessly into complex lighting rigs. This fixture expands your Martin VDO ecosystem with modular optics and straightforward P3 System Controller compatibility.
Optical Performance & Output
This blade produces 500 cd per meter calibrated intensity and 1500 lumen per meter output, yielding a total of 6250 nits in standard calibrated mode. The 4 x 16 LED array with 20 mm pixel pitch enables pixel-level brightness and color control, with 16-bit per color image processing for homogenous output across matched VDO products.
Control, Integration & Build
Full DMX, Art-Net, and sACN compatibility allows hybrid control modes—toggle in real-time between DMX, pixel mapping, and video mapping via P3 Switch. The integrated power and data cabling system matches VDO Sceptron and VDO Dotron, and the IP65 outdoor rating with matte black aluminum construction handles demanding stage environments from -20°C.
