Martin Professional released V2 software for its P3-100 System Controller. The V2 software will run on any P3-100. Users will not need any hardware upgrades for a range of upgrades that include an improved user interface and other enhancements. New features include:
- LED video screens with different pixel pitches (resolutions) can now be combined on one P3-100 System Controller. The P3-100 (V2) does all the scaling.
- Users will find it easier now to adjust the color temperature (white balance) of the screens to match them to other screens.
- Undo and redo buttons allow any changes to be easily undone or re-done.
- Users can freely rotate the content on any video panel or group of panels to any angle, not just in steps of 90 degrees.
- Groups of panels can be created for big and complex setups.
- Layout and quick-addressing wizards help configure and set up all key parameters with less of time and effort.
- Additional video-presets have been added to save and recall settings.
- An improved DMX-control patching GUI makes it easier to set up live control from a variety of control consoles.
- There is a free P3-100 Offline Editor to let users pre-program a setup/show on any standard PC.
With the P3-100 and any control console, users can control fixture position, fixture rotation, intensity, color temperature, video preset recall, blackout and more in real-time, on a cue-by-cue basis, for lighting and video synchronization.
Martin has added predefined DMX control sets that match with personalities found in the major lighting consoles, including the Martin M1 lighting console. To help users focus on the creative aspects of the show, a DMX Setup Wizard also has been added to facilitate the creation of DMX control options.
