Overview: The VC-Strip™ is a family of narrow LED video strips designed for integration into various environments such as stage designs, interiors, and custom set elements. These strips utilize advanced technology similar to Martin’s VC-Grids and are fully pixel-level calibrated for brightness and color uniformity.
Specifications: The VC-Strips have a pixel pitch of 25 mm and come in various lengths up to 400 mm. The RGB version offers a calibrated brightness of 4000 nits, while the white versions (warm, medium, cool) have a brightness of 8500 nits. The strips are controlled via Martin’s P3 System Controller, ensuring smooth video playback without stuttering or synchronization issues.
Physical Characteristics: Each strip measures 399 mm in length, 20 mm in width, and 18 mm in height, weighing 43 g. The strips are constructed on a black FR4 circuit board with an IP20 protection rating and are RoHS compliant.
Control and Programming: The strips can be controlled using the Martin P3 System Controller or DMX, with automatic protocol detection. They support both calibrated and raw control modes, with 16-bit control resolution for P3 and 8-bit for DMX.
Optics and Photometric Data: The strips have a minimum LED lifetime of 50,000 hours. They offer a viewing angle of 120° x 120° and various color temperatures: WW at 2700 K, MW at 4000 K, and CW at 6500 K. Luminous intensity varies between calibrated and raw modes, with RGB reaching up to 5000 Nit in raw mode.
Installation and Connections: The strips can be oriented in any direction and support up to 40 modules per daisy-chain. They use 4-pin Molex connectors for power and data input and throughput.
Electrical and Thermal: The strips require a nominal input voltage of 48 VDC and consume 7 W per module at full white. They operate within a temperature range of -20° C to 45° C.
Approvals and Compliance: The VC-Strips comply with EU and US safety standards, including EN 60950 and ANSI/UL 60950-1, as well as EMC standards.
Accessories and Related Items: Various hybrid adapters and cables are available for power and data connections. Related items include the Martin P3 PowerPort 1500 and different P3 System Controllers.
Ordering Information: The VC-Strips are available in different models, including RGB, WW, MW, and CW, each with specific part numbers for ordering.
