Martin says it has added a host of new and advanced features, including an improved user interface. The V2 software will run on any P3-100, with no need for any hardware upgrades, the company says.
Highlights of the V2 software 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 for you; Easily adjustable colour temperature (white balance) of screens; Undo and redo buttons; rotation of content on any video panel or group of panels to any angle; Easy-to-select groups of panels; Layout and quick-addressing wizards; additional video-presets; and an improved DMX-control patching GUI for easier setup of live control from your preferred control console.
With the P3-100 and any control console users can control fixture position, fixture rotation, intensity, color temperature, video preset recall, blackout, etc. in real-time, on a cue-by-cue basis for perfect lighting and video synchronization.
Martin has added predefined DMX control sets that match with personalities found in the major lighting consoles, including the popular new Martin M1 lighting console. And, to help users focus on the creative aspects of the show, a DMX Setup Wizard has been added to facilitate fast and easy creation of many DMX control options, the company says.
