Martin Pro P3-275 - 4K Video P3 System Controller with 1,040,000 Pixel Capacity and 1,024 Art-Net Universes in Black Finish

The Martin Professional P3-275 is a high-performance, 4K-capable Video P3 System Controller, designed to manage large-scale shows, outdoor events, and installations requiring high-resolution video mapping and fixture control. Capable of processing DCI 4K video input (4096x2160), the P3-275 supports up to 1,040,000 pixels and can drive up to 6,000 fixtures, making it the ideal solution for expansive projects such as bridges, large buildings, and extensive stage setups. It offers seamless integration between lighting and video, allowing designers to merge video content with DMX controls, Art-Net, or sACN PixelMapping, ensuring a fully synchronized experience without visible latency.

The P3-275 supports video inputs via HDMI 2.0 and NDI, each capable of handling resolutions up to 4K (4096x2160) at frame rates up to 75fps. This system allows the creation of intricate visual effects by mapping fixtures onto a visual canvas, with the ability to patch, address, and configure fixtures remotely - eliminating the need for direct access. By supporting up to 1,024 universes of Art-Net or sACN input, the P3-275 offers an extensive control solution, making it versatile and adaptable to a variety of project requirements. Additionally, the system supports a mix of control methods, such as video content alongside traditional lighting controls, enabling a wide range of creative possibilities.

With a 2U rackmount design, the P3-275 features a sleek matte black finish and is built from durable steel and aluminum, making it both robust and reliable for demanding environments. The system supports real-time previews, allowing designers to see how video and DMX controls will be rendered on fixtures before implementation. This real-time monitoring also extends to remote access, offering users the ability to manage and troubleshoot the system and connected fixtures from anywhere, without being physically present on-site.

Further enhancing its functionality, the P3-275 is compatible with third-party software, allowing users to import and export mapping and patch information using MVR files. This makes it easy to integrate with CAD programs, visualizers, and other lighting control systems, facilitating collaboration across multiple platforms and streamlining workflows. The system's flexibility in both mapping and control is complemented by the ability to export video presets, fixture positions, and more, enabling designers to quickly recall settings and configurations.

The P3-275 also includes advanced image control features such as hue, saturation, brightness, contrast, lowlight, and gain, giving users complete control over the visual quality of their output. With real-time adjustments for color temperature, color space, and gamma curves, designers can fine-tune their visuals to achieve the desired effect, whether they are enhancing the quality of lighting displays or creating dynamic, immersive video content. The system's capability to scale globally and support mixed pixel pitches ensures flexibility in managing different types of displays and fixtures.

The P3-275 System Controller is the perfect solution for high-end, large-scale productions, offering unmatched flexibility, synchronization, and control over both lighting and video elements. With its ability to handle up to 1,040,000 pixels and 6,000 fixtures, coupled with its seamless integration of video and DMX controls, it provides everything required for creating stunning, cohesive visual experiences in any large-scale project.
