Martin Lighting Power+Data Adapter

The Martin Lighting Power+Data Adapter series gives lighting designers and systems integrators a purpose-built solution for connecting VC-Grid and VC-Strip pixel LED modules within Martin's combined power and data infrastructure. By carrying both power and signal through a single cable, these adapters eliminate the parallel wiring runs that complicate dense pixel array installations, whether on a touring stage, a fixed architectural installation, or a broadcast environment where cable management directly affects build time and reliability.

Each adapter in this family is designed to interface with Martin's P3 ecosystem, supporting both direct DMX control and full P3 System Controller operation including VideoMapping, PixelMapping, and the Hybrid DMX plus P3 mode that allows real-time protocol switching. The adapters bridge the connection points between VC-Grid modules, extension runs, and source power or data processors such as the P3 PowerPort 1500 and DMX PowerPort 375. Multiple connector configurations are available across the family to match the specific input, output, or thru requirements of each position in a given rig, making it straightforward to build scalable daisy-chain runs of up to 12 VC-Grid modules without additional hardware.

For production teams specifying Martin pixel systems, these adapters are the direct connection point that the rest of the cabling ecosystem depends on. Choosing the correct configuration from the available options ensures clean signal integrity and mechanical compatibility at every junction, avoiding the adapter stacking and signal degradation risks associated with generic or third-party alternatives.
