Martin VC-Strip 25 Creative 16x1 LED Video Strip vs Martin PDE BreakIn Cable
The VC-Strip 25 Creative is a high-brightness LED video strip for dynamic visual content and pixel mapping, while the PDE BreakIn Cable is a connectivity solution for Martin VDO Atomic fixtures. These serve entirely different purposes: choose the strip if you need programmable LED visuals, and the cable if you already own VDO Atomic fixtures and need integrated power/DMX/Ethernet connectivity.
No sales tax on orders shipped outside California — total cost beats national retailers that charge sales tax in nearly every state.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use these products together?
No. The VC-Strip 25 Creative is a standalone LED video strip with its own control system (P3 or DMX). The PDE BreakIn Cable is designed exclusively for Martin VDO Atomic fixtures and will not connect to or control the LED strip.
What type of content can the VC-Strip 25 display?
The VC-Strip 25 supports full video mapping through Martin P3 control, allowing you to send dynamic video, colors, and effects via pixel-level DMX control. The 16x1 pixel array means it displays narrow, linear graphics or color washes rather than full video images.
Is the PDE BreakIn Cable weather-resistant for outdoor events?
Yes, the PDE BreakIn Cable features IP65-rated connectors and PVC housing, operating reliably from −15°C to 75°C and meeting RoHS and REACH environmental standards, making it suitable for outdoor touring.
How many VC-Strip 25 modules can I chain together?
Up to 45 VC-Strip 25 modules can be daisy-chained through 4-pin Molex connectors without external buffers, allowing large-scale installations while maintaining pixel-level control.
