Martin VDO Sceptron 10 LED Video Batten 320 mm Long
Description
Martin VDO Sceptron 10 LED Video Batten 320 mm
The VDO Sceptron 10 is a compact linear LED video fixture built for touring rigs and rental deployments where cable management and real-time control flexibility matter most. Its 320 mm profile packs full brightness and color calibration into a footprint that tucks into tight stage setups, with integrated power and data cabling that runs up to 50 meters from a single PSU positioned backstage—eliminating the tangle of driver boxes and excess cabling that clogs a working stage.
Optical Performance & Brightness
Output holds steady at 750 lumen per meter with pixel-level brightness and color uniformity across the 32-LED array at 10 mm pixel pitch. The 16-bit per color image processing and dual refresh rates—1001 Hz standard or 4004 Hz high refresh—lock in flicker-free performance on camera and smooth video mapping without artifacts, while the 50,000-hour LED minimum lifetime proves reliable through extended rental cycles and heavy touring schedules.
Control & System Integration
The fixture integrates natively with the Martin P3 System Controller family for intuitive mapping, addressing, and VideoMapping workflows, and remains fully backward compatible with DMX for smaller rigs or existing console setups. Daisy-chain up to 50 meters from a single power supply using the combined power and data cabling, and switch between DMX, PixelMapping, and VideoMapping modes in real time using the P3 Switch channel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pixel pitch and how many LEDs does the Sceptron 10 have?
The Sceptron 10 features a 1 × 32 LED array with a 10 mm pixel pitch (center-to-center spacing). This compact linear arrangement delivers 750 lumens per meter of calibrated output, making it suitable for close viewing and detailed video-mapping applications.
Can I run multiple Sceptron 10 fixtures from a single power supply?
Yes. The fixtures daisy-chain using integrated power and data cabling and can run up to 50 meters from a single compatible power supply (Martin P3 PowerPort 1500/1000 IP, DMX PowerPort 375, or generic 48 VDC PSU). This eliminates the need for multiple driver boxes and simplifies cable routing.
What control systems work with the Sceptron 10?
The fixture operates natively with the Martin P3 System Controller family for intuitive mapping, addressing, and video-mapping workflows. It is also fully backward-compatible with standard DMX for legacy setups, and can toggle between DMX, PixelMapping, and VideoMapping modes in real time.
Does it have flicker-free performance on camera?
Yes. The Sceptron 10 offers dual refresh rates—1001 Hz standard or 4004 Hz high refresh—combined with 16-bit per-color image processing to ensure flicker-free performance on camera and smooth video mapping without artifacts.
What is the operating temperature range and IP rating?
The Sceptron 10 operates from −30°C to +55°C and carries an IP65 protection rating, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor/wet-environment deployments in touring and rental scenarios.
