VC-Grid 60

The VC-

Grid 60 is an ultra-light

-weight LED video module with a 60
mm pixel pitch. Useful in creating customized LED video solutions with
maximum artistic flexibility and a minimum of effort, the VC-Grid’s
compact size makes it extremely suitable for integration into stage
designs, set elements, creative ceilings, lobbies and much more. Used
with or without a front diffuser, multiple VC-

Grids can be combined in
a countless variety of ways for ultimate design freedom. A combined
power/data cable allows VC-

Grids to be daisy

-chained for easy setup

and less cabling.

Wide range of pixel pitches to suit every application

Easy cabling, mapping and configuration

Bright and fully calibrated for optimal consistency
