VDO Sceptron 20
The VDO Sceptron 20 is a linear outdoor-rated LED video fixture for
the rental market with 20 mm pixel pitch and an extensive range of
optical accessories for a wide variety of looks. The VDO Sceptron 20
is driven by the Martin P3 System Controller family for easy
configuration, mapping and setup, and is also backwards compatible
with DMX for smaller setups. The integrated power and data cabling
allows for long daisy-
chains with many fixtures per cable
-run, while
the power supply can be located backstage (up to 50 m away) for a
clean setup avoiding messy cabling and several driver boxes.
