12 VC-Grid Safety and Installation Guide
System installation
Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 4 and “Precautions to avoid damage” on page 7 before
installing a VC-Grid system. Pay particular attention to the limits given in ”Protection from electric
shock” on page 4.
Warning! Connect the VC-Grid to only the devices specified in this manual and using only the Martin
cables specified in this manual.
Warning! Do not exceed the maximum numbers of devices that can be connected in chains and
maximum cable lengths specified in ”Protection from electric shock” starting on page 4 and in the
manuals of the other devices in the system.
Important! The VC-Grid is not designed to allow hot-plugging. Shut down power and data before
connecting or disconnecting modules, or you will probably cause damage that is not covered by the
product warranty.
The VC-Grid is designed to display either Martin P3 video or DMX-controlled lighting effects. It automatically
recognizes and responds to either a P3 or a DMX data signal. The next sections explain how to create a
VC-Grid installation to display P3 video data or DMX-controlled lighting effects.
Installing a P3 system
See Figure 5 on page 14 for an overview of a Martin P3 video display system.
The P3 link requires Ethernet Cat 5e or better network cable. The cable run between any two devices on the
link can be up to 100 m (328 ft.) in length. If necessary, a cable run can be extended beyond 100 m by
inserting an unmanaged Ethernet switch or using a fiber-optic system (see the P3 system controller user
manual for details).
To install a system that displays Martin P3 video on VC-Grids, see the P3 system overview in Figure 5 and
follow these directions:
1. Make sure that no devices in the installation can be connected to AC mains power until all installation
work is complete.
2. Read “Safety Information” on page 4 and “Precautions to avoid damage” on page 7.
3. Connect VC-Grid modules together in chains using Martin hybrid PCB-to-PCB cables (see ”VC-Grid to
VC-Grid link cables” on page 30). Connect each cable from the THRU connector of one VC-Grid to the
IN connector on the next VC-Grid to create the chain.
Warning! Do not exceed the maximum lengths for chains given in ”Protection from electric shock” on
page 4.
4. Connect each chain of VC-Grids to one of the four 4-pin female XLR hybrid (48 VDC power + P3 data)
outputs on the P3 PowerPort 1500 using a Martin hybrid 4-pin male XLR-to-PCB adapter cable,
P/N 91616035 (see Figure 4).
