P3-050 System Controller

Entry level P3 System Controller

P3-050 System Controller

The Martin P3-050 System Controller supports video input up to Full HD (1920x1080) and allows fixtures to be mapped onto the visual canvas, patched, addressed, and configured without having to directly access the fixtures. Martin fixtures can be easily controlled from a lighting desk, video source or a mix of both. They integrate with third-party software by importing and exporting industry-standard MVR files, eliminating duplicate actions and enabling designs to be easily shared.

Uniquely creative looks can be created for each application, whether using video content, traditional DMX controls, Art-Net / sACN PixelMapping, or a mix of control methods.

The entire system is fully synchronized, ensuring all elements work cohesively without visible latency. They support Full HD video input over DVI input, outputting up to 100,000 pixels to up to 2,000 fixtures. Real-time previews show you how video will be rendered on the fixtures.
