Frequently asked questions
What is each product designed to do?
The Atomic 3000 LED Strobe is a lighting fixture that produces high-intensity strobe effects and RGB backlight color washes for live shows and productions. The PowerPort 1000 is infrastructure—a power supply and data processor that feeds power and control signals to Martin's fixed LED video systems.
Can I use the Atomic 3000 in a permanent installation?
Yes, the Atomic 3000 supports both touring rigs and fixed installations per its description. However, it is a lighting fixture, not a power distribution unit, so you would still need separate power infrastructure. The PowerPort 1000 is purpose-built to be that infrastructure.
What are the key operational differences?
The Atomic 3000 operates via DMX/RDM control with variable flash rates and dimming for creative lighting effects. The PowerPort 1000 is a stationary backend unit that accepts AC power input and distributes it via four outputs at up to 5 amps each, while simultaneously routing P3 data to LED tiles.
Which is better for outdoor use?
The PowerPort 1000 carries a full outdoor rating for -30°C to 55°C operation and is optimized for 24/7 outdoor deployment. The Atomic 3000's outdoor suitability is not explicitly specified; it is described as suitable for touring and fixed installations but without outdoor temperature ratings.
