What does the P3-275 actually control, and how many devices can it handle?

The P3-275 processes up to 1.04 million pixels and controls 6,000 fixtures (both expandable), with support for up to 1,024 universes of Art-Net or sACN over the network. This makes it suitable for large installations spanning multiple LED walls, architectural lighting, and broadcast set pieces.

What video inputs does it accept, and how fast is the response time?

It accepts HDMI 2.0 and NDI input at up to 4K/75fps, plus DCI 4K support for broadcast workflows. System latency is just 2 frames, ensuring synchronized playback between video content and lighting—critical for real-time live productions.

Is the P3-275 suitable for small venues or single LED screens?

No; this is a professional-grade system built for large-scale installations and broadcast productions. Its processing power and network capacity are designed for complex, high-resolution projects—smaller venues and simpler setups would not require its capabilities.

What kind of color control and image manipulation can I perform in real time?

You can adjust Hue, Saturation, Brightness, Contrast, Lowlight, and Gain in real time, plus apply gamma curve adjustments, color temperature correction, and color space conversion. It also supports global and mixed pixel-pitch scaling and real-time preview of incoming video and mapping.

How does it integrate with my existing broadcast or media server setup?

The P3-275 connects via HDMI 2.0, NDI, or DCI 4K inputs and can receive up to 1,024 universes of Art-Net or sACN, allowing integration with modern video servers, lighting consoles, and networked broadcast systems. This flexibility makes it easy to incorporate into complex production workflows.

Martin P3-275 System Controller

The Martin P3-275 is a professional-grade LED system controller built into a compact 2U rackmount chassis, engineered for large-scale pixel mapping and fixture control in live events and installations. Its steel and aluminum construction and matte black finish integrate seamlessly into any technical rack, while dual-monitor support and an intuitive interface keep real-time control accessible during shows and setup. Built to handle the computational demands of complex, high-resolution video mapping with minimal latency—critical when every frame counts on stage.

Processing Power & Signal Handling

The P3-275 processes up to 1,040,000 pixels and controls 6,000 fixtures (both expandable), with 16-bit color depth per channel (48 bits per pixel) delivering smooth, precise color gradations across large installations. System latency of just 2 frames ensures synchronized playback between video and lighting—essential for live performance where timing is everything.

Connectivity & Real-Time Control

Multiple input standards—HDMI 2.0 and NDI at up to 4K/75fps, plus DCI 4K support—work with modern broadcast and media servers in live workflows. The controller accepts up to 1,024 universes of Art-Net or sACN, giving you independent control of massive fixture counts across networked systems during the show.
