The Martin P3-PC System Controller is a PC-based solution driving video and DMX controls into the entire Martin range of Creative LED products and P3-enabled MAC moving heads. It controls systems of up to 20.736 pixels, takes screen-capture input, NDI video input, video input from a Green Hippo media server (when installed on the same machine), Art-Net input and sACN input. P3-PC can also be used as an off-line editor for the entire range of P3 System Controllers to preprogram shows anywhere on a PC, and as a tool for firmware uploads and addressing/testing of Martin P3-enabled fixtures.
The Martin P3-PC System Controller also outputs the P3 Visualizer Protocol, enabling real-time (3D) visualization by compatible third-party (3D) visualizers. Greatly improving pre-programming workflows.
