Martin VDO Sceptron 20 LED Video Batten 320 mm
The VDO Sceptron 20 is a compact linear LED video fixture engineered for rental and touring applications where space efficiency and output consistency matter. Its 320 mm form factor delivers professional-grade brightness and color calibration in a footprint that integrates seamlessly into tight rigging scenarios, while field-exchangeable optics allow operators to dial in the exact visual character needed for each installation.
Optical Performance & Control
This fixture produces 375 lumens per meter at 125 cd per meter in calibrated mode, with pixel-level brightness and color uniformity across the 1 x 16 LED array at 20 mm pixel pitch. Dual refresh rates—1001 Hz in Standard Mode and 4004 Hz in High Refresh Mode—ensure flicker-free operation across all camera frame rates, while integrated 16-bit per color image processing guarantees smooth gradations and transitions.
Connectivity & Integration
The VDO Sceptron 20 operates via Martin P3 System Controller for full video mapping and real-time effects, while remaining backwards compatible with DMX for smaller setups. Integrated power and data cabling supports long daisy-chains with multiple fixtures per run, and the power supply can be positioned backstage up to 50 meters away, eliminating clutter and multiple driver boxes on set.
