Introduction; Precautions To Avoid Damage - Martin PixLine 10 User Manual

Introduction

Thank you for selecting a product from the Martin Exterior PixLine™ family. These compact LED-based
display fixtures are designed to integrate into a Martin P3™ video system, where they can display video
from a variety of sources. They can also be controlled using DMX. Use of an RDM-compliant DMX controller
such as the Martin M-PC™ allows two-way communication and remote management of Exterior PixLine
fixtures from the controller.
The Exterior PixLine combines flexibility and simplicity with high-quality video display capabilities. Multiple
Exterior PixLine fixtures can be combined in ways that give exceptional creative potential. Fixtures are
supplied in a range of optical configurations including left and right side wallwasher versions designed for
illuminating surfaces. A hybrid (power and data) cabling system allows Exterior PixLine fixtures to be
daisy-chained for easy setup and minimal cabling.
The Exterior PixLine consists of a linear array of LEDs encapsulated in resin in an aluminum profile with a
diffuser or other front cover that is permanently sealed onto the profile to give a rugged IP66-rated fixture. It
offers the following features:
• IP66-rated fixtures and connectors
• Fast, flexible mounting options
• Clear anodized as standard, custom RAL colors available by special order
• Range of optical variants: clear front, flat diffuser, round diffuser, square diffuser and graze (asymmetric
wallwasher) lens options

• Short 310/320 mm (12.2/12.6 in.) and long 1270/1280 mm (50.0/50.4 in.) models
• Individually controllable pixels
• High-quality 16-bit per color RGB image processing technology
