Martin Sceptron XB 320mm LED IP Batten Hire

Martin Sceptron XB is a compact, high-performance LED pixel system, designed for both lighting and creative video application. The Martin Sceptron XB 320mm is an extremely compact and lightweight RGBW pixel-batten with a range of accessories allowing it to be configured to create a huge range of different looks.

This hire listing is for the standard 320mm / 32cm long version of the Sceptron XB. IPS also have the 1000mm version in hire stock. If you are familiar with the previous generation of Martin VDO 10 Sceptron, this is a new and improved version. It is physically almost the same (slightly deeper) with the same range of filters and diffusers, and with some additional clever new rigging accessories. Cabling has been changed from the old BBD type to a new DCE type of Hybrid power & data cabling. Most importantly, the Sceptron XB is now RGBW, with significantly improved light output compared to the previous RGB generation. It is now also IP65 rated and can be used indoors or outdoors as required.

The RGBW LEDs at the heart of the Sceptron XB produce more than triple the output of VDO Sceptron 10. Higher output and higher light quality (CRI / TM-30 / TLCI) are achieved using Full Gamut Pixel Calibration. According to Martin, this guarantees pixel-to-pixel and fixture-to-fixture consistency, even when products from different manufacturing batches are being used together.

 

 

Power & Control

The Sceptron XB must be used with a Martin P3 PowerPort 2000 or 500 driver to provide power & data. These are ready to hire from IPS, with the P3 PowerPort 2000 being a 1U Rackmount four output option, and the P3 Powerport 500 IP Rental being an IP rated truss mountable one output option.

Control is via Art-Net, sACN & Martin P3 control. The Sceptron XB can be used both as a lighting fixture and as a creative video element, and the P3 Mix channel enables switching and fading between ‘lighting mode’ and ‘video mode’. Fixture mapping and addressing is completed through P3 System Controller or Companion desktop or phone app.

There is a lot more detail about VDO Sceptron and the P3 system on the Martin website here: https://www.martin.com/en/product_families/vdo-sceptron

 

 

Rigging & Diffusion / Filter Options

The Sceptron XB system can achieve many different looks partly due to the clever interchangeable diffuser lens options. IPS hire stock includes Tube, Tube Smoked, Round, Round Smoked, Square, Square Smoked and flat smoked options. IPS supply each Sceptron XB with a sliding bracket and lightweight half coupler. Also in hire stock are linear couplers and floor stand options.

 

 

Martin Sceptron XB 320mm – Ready to hire now

IPS package Sceptron XB using the Martin modular flightcase system. This enables fixtures to travel with their diffusers fitted – and helps make everything quick to deploy onsite.
