Page 6: Introduction
Introduction Thank you for selecting the Martin VC-Strip™. This compact LED-based display module is designed to integrate into a Martin P3™ video system to display video from a variety of sources, and it can also be controlled using DMX. Use of an RDM-compliant DMX controller such as the Martin M1™ or M-PC™ allows two-way communication and remote management of VC-Strip modules from the controller. -

Page 8: Physical Installation
Physical installation The VC-Strip can be installed in any orientation. The most evenly matched optical characteristics when viewing an installation from the side at an angle are obtained when all VC-Strip modules are oriented horizontally, but unevenness will hardly be noticeable in vertical strips, and then only when viewed from the side. -
Page 9: Shortening 16X1 Modules
Shortening 16x1 modules It is possible to shorten a VC-Strip 16x1 module by cutting it at one of four possible cutting points (see D in Figure 1), leaving the module with 8, 10, 12 or 14 LEDs. Modules shortened in this way will communicate their length when they identify themselves to a P3 or RDM controller. -

System installation Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 4 of this manual carefully before installing a VC-Strip™ system. Warning! Connect the VC-Strip™ only to the devices and using only the Martin™ cables specified in this manual. Warning! Do not exceed the maximum numbers of devices that can be connected and maximum cable lengths specified in this manual and the manuals of the other devices in the system. - Page 11 connect more than fifty, use an unmanaged Ethernet switch to split the P3 data link into branches, each containing less than fifty P3 PowerPort 1500s. 8. Connect the P3 PowerPort 1500™ to AC mains power at 100 - 240 V, 50/60 Hz as described in its user manual.

Page 12: Installing A Dmx-Controlled System
Installing a DMX-controlled system In a DMX-controlled system, an RDM-compliant DMX lighting controller sends a DMX control data signal over a DMX link to the installation, and then over the hybrid link to the VC-Strips. The DMX link requires DMX cable. It can be maximum 300 m (1000 ft.) in length and must run in one single daisy-chain, but it can be extended or split into branches using an RDM-compliant amplifier/splitter such as the Martin RDM 5.5 Splitter™... - Page 13 Installing a DMX system using the Tripix Power IP66™ DMX/RDM Controller 48 VDC power DMX link (DMX cable) Hybrid (DC power and data) link DMX/RDM Splitter (if used) Tripix Power IP66 Tripix Power IP66 Tripix Power IP66 Hybrid Hybrid lead-in cable, lead-in cable, Tripix Power IP66 Tripix Power IP66...

Connecting additional devices to a VC-Strip chain Drawing off combined data and DC power from the end of a chain If you want to continue the hybrid link to carry 48 VDC power and a P3 video or DMX signal from the end of a VC-Strip chain to other devices, connect a Martin Hybrid Adapter Cable, PCB to 4-pin female XLR, P/N 11840159, to the OUT connector of the last module in the chain. -
Page 18: System Setup
System setup Warning! Before applying power to the VC-Strip: • Carefully review the safety information starting on page 4 • Check that the installation is safe and secure. Setting up for P3 display A Martin P3™ system allows video to be displayed on an installation that consists of or includes VC-Strip devices. - Page 19 If a VC-Strip module is set to individual pixel control (see “Setting modules to grouped or pixel control modes” on page 20), LEDs are given DMX addresses using a ‘left-to-right’ numbering system. For example, if one VC-Strip RGB module is set to pixel control and set to DMX address 1, each of the 16 LEDs will use 3 channels, and the module will use DMX channels 1 - 48 (Channel 1 -3 for the first pixel, channels 4 - 6 for the next pixel etc.

Setting DMX Addresses See Figure 11. To set DMX addresses using the M-PC application, open the RDM View window and click on Scan to display a list of the elements in the installation. Click in the Address box for each VC-Strip module and enter the desired DMX address, then press the Enter key to store the DMX address for that module. -
