VDO Sceptron XB

The VDO Sceptron XB is a compact, high‑performance LED pixel‑batten designed for both lighting and creative video applications. It builds on the legacy of the Martin VDO Sceptron family, inheriting key benefits such as user‑friendly mapping, interchangeable diffusers/lenses, and a wide range of rigging accessories.

Key Features

Here are the standout features of the VDO Sceptron XB family:

• Extremely compact and lightweight form‑factor (e.g., 320 mm length variant weighs approx. 0.6 kg; 1000 mm variant approx. 1.6 kg).

• Triple (or more) the output of the earlier VDO Sceptron 10 in many cases. The XB delivers much higher lumen output and richer color saturation.

• Uses RGBW LEDs (rather than just RGB) to deliver better spectrum, improved metrics (CRI, TM‑30, TLCI) and more usable white light + saturated color.

• Full‑Gamut Pixel Calibration: Ensures pixel‑to‑pixel and fixture‑to‑fixture consistency, even across manufacturing batches.

• Supports multiple protocols: Art‑Net, sACN, and Martin’s P3 system — meaning it can be used in lighting mode, video mode, or hybrid (“P3 Mix” channel) mode.

• Built‑in video mapping capability: Individual pixel control, ability to fade between video and lighting control.
