The Martin family of P3 System Controllers is designed to enable easy setup and monitoring of fixtures, while allowing creative control using a lighting console, video-mapping of a combination of both. They enhance and maximize the creative potential of Martin’s P3 enabled fixtures.
They support a wide range of Martin P3-driven fixtures, including moving heads, creative LED and architectural fixtures.
While integrating in any workflow through MVR import/export, mapping mask export and real-time visualization via the Martin P3 Visualizer Protocol.
Gives the lighting designer the freedom to create unique looks by entering parameters or by sending content to fixtures to ultimately create the ideal look that the designer envisions.
Mapping and patches can be exported to third-party lighting consoles, visualizers and CAD programs. There is no need to re-create a system repeatedly using different software packages.
Enables seamless integration with third-party 3D visualization software to empower stunning 3D visualization within the P3 environment—perfect for tours, performances, and any professional lighting needs.
Eliminates the need to physically access fixtures to address and configure each one locally via the display.
Offers a complete view of your entire system to diagnose any issues.
Deliver perfect performance across the entire system, without visible lag and latency issues.
Visualize results during pre-programming without connecting actual fixtures.
