Description
Martin VC-Strip 25 Creative 16x1 LED Video Strip
The VC-Strip 25 Creative is a compact, high-brightness LED video strip engineered for seamless integration into stage designs, set elements, and architectural installations. Its narrow 20 mm width and lightweight construction allow flexible mounting in tight spaces while delivering exceptional pixel-level color and brightness uniformity across the entire run. This strip excels in applications demanding both visual punch and precise control, from touring productions to permanent installations.
Brightness & Optical Performance
Delivering 4000 nits of calibrated output and 300 lumens per meter, the VC-Strip 25 produces vivid imagery in both dark theaters and bright ambient conditions. Factory pixel-level calibration ensures consistent brightness and color matching across multiple units, eliminating the uniformity issues common in uncalibrated LED systems.
Control & Integration
The VC-Strip 25 supports both Martin P3 control with full video mapping capabilities and direct DMX control, allowing real-time toggling between protocols via P3 Switch channel. Combined power and data connectivity through 4-pin Molex connectors simplifies cabling, and up to 45 modules can be daisy-chained without external buffers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 25 mm pixel pitch mean for image resolution?
The 25 mm pixel pitch balances brightness and resolution for viewing distances typical of stage and venue environments. The 16x1 array produces sharp visuals while maintaining the high per-pixel brightness (4000 nits) needed to cut through stage lighting.
Can I control this strip with DMX, or do I need Martin P3?
The VC-Strip 25 supports both Martin P3 (with full video mapping) and direct DMX control. You can toggle between protocols in real-time via the P3 Switch channel, giving you flexibility to integrate into existing DMX rigs or P3 video systems.
How many strips can I daisy-chain together?
You can daisy-chain up to 45 modules per run using the 4-pin Molex connectors, with power and data combined into a single cable for simplified installation. No external buffers are required.
What's the power consumption and heat output?
The strip draws 48 VDC ±4% and produces very low heat dissipation at 23 BTU/hr, making it suitable for tight mounting spaces and reducing cooling demands in enclosed installations.
Is this strip field-cuttable for custom lengths?
Yes, the VC-Strip 25 features field-cuttable design and supports any-orientation mounting, allowing you to customize lengths and angles for your specific stage layout or installation requirements.
