Martin Companion is the fixture management, firmware upload and stand-alone programming tool compatible with all Martin fixtures for maximal ease of use. The Martin Companion application synchronizes with Martin’s firmware library over the Internet, so gone are the days of browsing the support pages to find the latest fixture firmware.

And ergonomic stand-alone programming allows fixtures to run synchronized shows with up to 20 scenes, without any computer or controller connected.
