HARMAN Announces Martin P3 System Controller Software Upgrade
Engineered for seamless integration into Martin P3's ecosystem, the update enhances the
visualisation capabilities & offers shortened paths from design creation to show execution
HARMAN Professional Solutions, one of the global leaders in audio, video, control, and
lighting
systems, announced the immediate availability of Martin P3 System Controller Software 6.2.0
featuring the powerful P3 Visualiser Protocol.
The new P3 Visualiser Protocol enables lighting designers, programmers, and system technicians to
integrate third-party 3D visualisation software with the Martin P3 System Controller, creating an
end-to-end solution. By enabling real-time sharing of comprehensive fixture data, including video
pixels, patch details, and more, visualisers are now able to replicate real-world fixtures, whether
driven by lighting consoles, P3 controllers, or both simultaneously. This integration creates design
flexibility and shortens the path from a creative concept to show-ready execution.
Designed for ease-of-use, the software's plug-and-play functionality simplifies setup, allowing
immediate integration with compatible visualisation tools. Leading visualisation software provider
Capture has already incorporated the P3 Visualiser Protocol into its Capture 2025
software, marking
the first implementation of this transformative feature. Martin actively encourages further
collaborations, making this open protocol available to all visualisation software developers.
“Our mission is always to provide our design and programming community with the most intuitive tools
to translate their visions into unforgettable experiences. By integrating real-time 3D
visualisation, we're expanding creative possibilities much further. This new capability eliminates
guesswork, greatly accelerates the creative process, and we couldn't be more excited to share it
with our partners." - says Wouter Verlinden, Product Manager Creative LED, Lighting and
Control
Martin's P3 System Controller Software 6.2.0 extends compatibility to the entire range of Martin's
P3 System Controllers, including P3-050, P3-150, P3-175, P3-275, and P3-300. It is also
available as
free P3-PC System Controller software, allowing professionals to access these advanced visualisation
enhancements without any additional hardware investment.
