The VDO Sceptron creative video products from Martin have
gained popularity on a multitude of different production types. With the adoption of these powerful products,
more accessories are becoming available too.
Currently there are thirteen different diffusers available
for the VDO Sceptron range with both white and smoked options available. The smoked versions allow the units to
virtually disappear when not illuminated from within. Several lens options also aid in direct
viewing or wall washing applications. The video below demonstrates the multitude of choices and
also demonstrates the simple method to swap diffusers on VDO Sceptron units.
In addition to the actual VDO Sceptron units, there are also
several P-3 video processor options to choose from. P3-050, P3-100, P3-150, P3-200, and P3-300 are rack mount units of
varying pixel output sizes that allow productions to purchase systems designed
for only what is needed. Plus, the P-3PC
software provides over 20,000 pixels of control from any PC as well as diagnostic tools and
layout creation abilities. Furthermore,
Hippotizer V4.0 and greater units can now have P-3PC installed internally for
direct P-3 output from an industry standard media server.
This previous post describes why P-3 processors are better than using DMX to control Martin creative video products.
The multitude of possibilities with Martin creative video
products continue to amaze designers around the world. The VDO Sceptron, P-3 processors, and VC products all work together to help create interesting custom video displays and
installations.
