Description
Martin VDO Sceptron XB 1000 mm LED Video Batten
The Martin VDO Sceptron XB is a compact, professional-grade LED video batten engineered for live event production and touring applications. Its 1000 mm form factor delivers dense pixel-level color control in a package designed for rapid rigging and reliable field operation. This fixture bridges the gap between compact size and output intensity, making it an efficient choice for rental houses and production teams managing complex lighting designs.
Optical Performance & Output
The RGBW LED array with 10 mm pixel pitch produces smooth gradients and pixel-mapped content across its full length. A 125-degree viewing angle and 160° field angle ensure even light distribution across mid-throw and far-throw distances, while high CRI, TM-30, and TLCI ratings guarantee accurate color rendering for cameras and live audiences alike.
Control & Integration
The fixture accepts control via Martin P3 System Controller, Art-Net, and sACN protocols, allowing seamless integration into existing lighting networks and console systems. Exchangeable diffusers and lenses ship with the unit, enabling rapid optimization for different throw distances and application-specific color mixing needs.
