Martin P3-175 System Controller
The P3-175 is a professional-grade lighting control system engineered for complex production and installation workflows. This compact 1U rackmount processor delivers serious processing power in a footprint that integrates seamlessly into standard server racks, making it the foundation for mid-to-large scale lighting rigs, projection mapping, and synchronized visual installations.
Processing Power & Scalability
The P3-175 handles 520,000 pixels and up to 2,000 fixtures with 16-bit per-color (48-bit per pixel) processing depth and 2-frame system latency—critical specifications for tight, responsive control over complex rigs during live production or studio work. Both pixel and fixture capacity expand by adding additional P3-175 units, allowing your rig to scale up without replacing core hardware as projects grow.
Connectivity & Input Flexibility
Full support for 256 universes of Art-Net/sACN input alongside DMX, Kinesys K2, and HDMI/NDI video input ensures seamless integration with industry-standard control protocols and live video feeds up to Full HD (1920×1080). The controller accepts input from any standard monitor (VGA, DVI, HDMI, or DisplayPort) paired with USB keyboard and mouse for streamlined operation during sessions and setup.
