Whether you're working with a large array of fixtures or creating smaller, detailed installations, this batten delivers flexibility through the VDO Grid Mount System, which allows easy mounting and combining of fixtures into creative shapes. Additionally, its IP65 rating ensures it performs flawlessly in both indoor and outdoor environments, even in harsh weather conditions.
This fixture offers a stunning 120 x 120-degree viewing angle with a calibrated luminous output of 1500 lumens per meter, providing bright, consistent illumination across all fixtures in a setup. The 16-bit per color resolution, combined with full gamut pixel calibration, guarantees smooth color transitions and pixel-perfect control. The VDO Fatron 20 320mm is designed to be fully brightness and color calibrated, ensuring uniformity across all installations, making it ideal for professional use in high-profile lighting and video productions.
Equipped with P3, DMX, Art-Net, and sACN compatibility, the VDO Fatron 20 320mm offers a wide array of control options. The ability to toggle between DMX, PixelMapping, and VideoMapping via the P3 System Controller provides users with unmatched creative flexibility. With its extensive range of built-in effects and the ability to mix 'n' match with other Martin LED video products, this fixture becomes a powerful tool in the hands of lighting designers and video artists, offering new ways to enhance your visual storytelling.
