Designed for touring productions, broadcast studios, and permanent architectural deployments, it lets designers drive Martin fixtures from a lighting desk, a video source, or a combination of both. As a centralized pixel mapping controller, the P3-275 outputs up to 1,040,000 pixels across as many as 6,000 fixtures while accepting up to 1,024 universes of Art-Net or sACN input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe P3-275 accepts DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) video input over both HDMI 2.0 and NDI at frame rates up to 75fps, making it a flexible video-to-DMX processor for content-driven lighting design. Internally, the system processes at 16 bits per color (48 bits per pixel) with a fixed system latency of two frames and no latency variance between the first and last fixture, which keeps large rigs visually synchronized. Designers can map a mix of Martin fixtures onto a single visual canvas, then patch, address, and configure those fixtures centrally rather than walking the rig to set each unit locally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe controller integrates into existing AV and lighting workflows by importing and exporting industry-standard MVR files, so mapping and patch data can be shared with third-party consoles, CAD programs, and visualizers. It also outputs the P3 Visualizer Protocol for real-time 3D pre-visualization, allowing programming to proceed without connecting physical fixtures. Housed in a 2U rackmount steel and aluminum chassis, the P3-275 provides two etherCON ports for P3 data output and a dedicated etherCON port for the Art-Net\/sACN network, supporting cable runs up to 100 m between devices and remote monitoring of every connected fixture. For installations that exceed a single unit's capacity, processing and fixture limits are expandable by adding additional P3-275 controllers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4K Video Input (HDMI \u0026amp;
