Martin P3 175 System Controller

Martin P3-175 System Controller The Martin P3-175 System Controller is a powerful control and mapping solution for Martin P3-enabled fixtures. It combines video, DMX and pixel-mapping workflows within a single 1U rackmount controller. This makes it ideal for concert touring, festivals, theatre, broadcast, exhibitions and corporate productions using creative LED systems. The P3-175 accepts Full HD video via HDMI or NDI at resolutions up to 1920 x 1080. It can process up to 520,000 pixels across as many as 2,000 fixtures. In addition, it accepts up to 256 universes of Art-Net or sACN. Lighting designers can therefore mix traditional DMX control with video content and pixel mapping. You can find the full specifcations here on the Martin website. Flexible P3 control and programming Fixtures can be mapped onto a visual canvas, patched, addressed and configured from the controller. Real-time previews help programmers see how DMX and video content will appear before connecting the complete fixture system. System-wide synchronisation is designed to maintain consistent output across connected fixtures. MVR import and export also make the P3-175 useful within modern pre-production workflows. Mapping and patch information can move between compatible lighting controllers, CAD applications and visualisers without rebuilding the design manually. Martin also specifies P3 Visualizer Protocol output, with Capture 2025 identified as a compatible third-party visualiser. For IPS P3 systems, the controller is a natural partner for suitable Martin LED products and P3 infrastructure. IPS already stocks the Martin P3 PowerPort 2000 and Martin P3 PowerPort 500 for its VDO Sceptron XB 1000mm and 320mm systems, while the existing Martin P3 150 System Controller is another older controller option within the IPS range. Hire the Martin P3-175 System Controller from IPS as part of a complete P3 control and creative LED package.

Up to 2,000 fixtures per controller. Up to 256 universes of Art-Net or sACN input (twice the universes of control compared to the P3 150) Mixes DMX control and video content. MVR import and export.
