Overview
The VC-Grid 15 is a small, 240 x 240 mm LED video module with a 15 mm pixel pitch. Useful in creating customized LED video solutions with maximum artistic flexibility and a minimum of effort, the VC-Grid’s compact size makes it extremely suitable for integration into stage designs, set elements, creative ceilings, lobbies and much more. Used with or without a front diffuser, multiple VC-Grids can be combined in a countless variety of ways for ultimate design freedom. A combined power/data cable allows VC-Grids to be daisy-chained for easy setup and less cabling
- Wide range of pixel pitches to suit every application
- Easy cabling, mapping and configuration
- Bright and fully calibrated for optimal consistency
Features
- 256 individually controllable pixels
- 5000 nits of brightness
- High-quality 16-bit per color image processing technology
- Pixel-level brightness and color calibration for optimal image quality
- P3/DMX controllable (automatic protocol detection)
- Intuitive mapping and addressing via P3 System Controller
- Combined power/data input (single cable for power and data input)
- Combined power/data thru (to daisy-chain multiple VC-Grids)
- Supported by integrated power and data processor (P3 PowerPort 1500) and simple cabling system
- Custom designs available on request (pixel pitch and module dimensions)
