VDO Sceptron XB high output pixel batten
The VDO Sceptron XB is a compact, high-performance LED pixel-batten, designed for both lighting and creative video applications. Building on the legacy of the Martin VDO Sceptron family, it inherits all of its benefits such as user-friendly mapping through Martin’s P3 System Controller, the ability to exchange diffusers and lenses, and a wide range of available rigging accessories.
The VDO Sceptron XB raises the bar with significantly boosted lumen output, enhanced cabling freedom, and the ability to be controlled as a lighting fixture via Art-Net and sACN, and as a creative video element via P3, or both simultaneously.


Compact and lightweight, VDO Sceptron XB delivers more than triple the output of the popular VDO Sceptron 10. The use of RGBW LEDs results in a better spectrum (CRI, TM-30, TLCI), compared to traditional RGB pixel-battens, making it ideal for precision illumination of people and set décor. The enhanced control options make this fixture easy to deploy, with or without a P3 System Controller.
Its Extended Gamut calibration ensures consistent performance on whites, offering color temperature and tint control, while saturated colors remain rich and deep. The P3 Mix channel further enhances its versatility, enabling smooth transitions between video and light control.
Additional features include a wide range of built-in effects macros, a stand-alone mode for applications without a Controller, and a full suite of optical and rigging accessories, enabling designers to utilize the series for a variety of uses and mounting configurations. VDO Sceptron XB’s IP65 rating expands its design capabilities, making it perfect for a variety of indoor and temporary outdoor applications and its integrated hibernation mode increases energy efficiency by reducing power consumption when not in use.
With best-in-class performance, unmatched versatility, and a future-proof design, VDO Sceptron XB is ideal for lighting designers, rental customers, and installation professionals. It sets a new standard for powerful, flexible lighting and creative video applications.
