Using the VC-Strip
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.
Do not use the VC-Strip if the ambient temperature exceeds 45° C (113° F) or falls below -20° C (-4° F).
P3 display
The VC-Strip will display video from all common video sources that is processed and sent via a Martin P3™
controller. See the P3 controller documentation for details.
DMX control
The VC-Strip will display effects controlled by DMX. An RDM-compatible controller is strongly
recommended, as RDM allows two-way communication. See the DMX/RDM controller documentation for
details.
