P3-175 System Controller

The Martin P3-175 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 HDMI and NDI inputs, outputting up to 520,000 pixels to up to 2,000 fixtures. Real-time previews show you how DMX controls and video will be rendered on the fixtures.

MIX DMX AND VIDEO CONTROL

Gives the lighting designer the freedom to create unique looks by entering parameters or by sending content to fixtures to ultimately

create the ideal look that the designer envisions.

TIME-SAVING MVR INTEGRATION

Mapping and patches can be exported to third-party lighting consoles, visualizers and CAD programs. There is no need to re-create a system repeatedly using different software packages.

REMOTE ADDRESSING AND SETTING

Eliminates the need to physically access fixtures to address and configure each one locally via the display.

REAL-TIME MONITORING

Offers a complete view of your entire system to diagnose any issues.

SYSTEM-WIDE SYNCHRONIZATION

Deliver perfect performance across the entire system, without visible lag and latency issues.

LIVE PREVIEW

Visualize results during pre-programming without connecting actual fixtures.
