I NTRODUCTION Thank you for selecting the MAC 2000 Performance II. The MAC 2000 Performance II is a 1200 W moving head spotlight that provides CMY color mixing, continuous color correction (CTC), four-blade framing system, motorized iris, gobo wheel with five indexable rotating gobos, indexable gobo animation wheel, effect wheel with 3 effects (wide-angle converter lens, non-rotating nine-facet prism and variable frost), combined dimmer/shutter, focus, zoom, 540° of pan, and 267° of tilt.
Protection from burns and fire • Never attempt to bypass the thermostatic switch or fuses. Always replace defective fuses with ones of the specified type and rating. • Keep all combustible materials (for example fabric, wood, paper) at least 1.0 meter (39 inches) away from the fixture. Keep flammable materials well away from the fixture. • Do not illuminate surfaces within 1.0 meter (39 inches) of the fixture. • Provide a minimum clearance of 0.1 meters (4 inches) around fans and air vents.
TRANSPORTATION Important! Release the transport locks before operating the fixture. Included items The MAC 2000 Performance II is shipped in a cardboard carton or 1 or 2 unit flight case that contains the following items.
Double flight case Unpacking 3 Install rigging hardware as described on page 12. 4 With one person on each side, lift the fixture out of the flight case. T Release the head (tilt) transport lock. N O 2 R Open the flight case and pull the drawer all the way out. F 1 Packing 1 Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool. 2 Turn the yoke parallel to the sides of the base with the tilt lock closest to the back. 3 Pull the transport drawer all the way out.
AC POWER WARNING! For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be grounded (earthed). The AC mains supply shall be fitted with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault protection. Important! Verify the power supply settings before applying power.
Reduced power function The MAC 2000 Performance II has an automatic power reduction function, which reduces the consumption to 700W if the shutter/dimmer is closed for more than 10 seconds. This not only increases the lamp life, but also further decreases the overall noise emission of the fixture.
DATA Important! Never connect more than 1 data input and 1 data output. The MAC 2000 Performance II has both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. The pin-out on all sockets is pin 1 to shield, pin 2 to cold (-), and pin 3 to hot (+). There is no connection to pins 4 and 5. The sockets are wired in parallel: both inputs connect to both outputs.
RIGGING 25 6 25 256 6 256 The MAC 2000 Performance II can be placed on stage or clamped to a truss in any orientation. The Fast-Lock system enables quick and easy fastening of the clamp brackets in 4 positions as shown Figure 4. Figure 4: Clamp bracket positions Warning! Always use 2 clamps to rig the fixture. Lock each clamp with both 1/4-turn fasteners. The fasteners are locked only when turned fully clockwise. Warning! Attach an approved safety cable to the attachment hole in the base.
CONTROL PANEL The LED control panel is used to set the address and personalities, read lamp hours and other information, calibrate effects, and run a test routine. Most of these functions may be performed remotely via the serial link with the Martin MP-2 Uploader. Navigation The DMX address and any messages (see page 52) are displayed when the MAC 2000 Performance II is turned on. To enter the menu, press [Menu]. Press [Up] and [Down] to move within the menu.
Tracking Response The MAC 2000 Performance II has a filter algorithm that looks at several position updates in tracking control mode and calculates the ideal response for smooth movement. Tracking response is adjustable to compensate for variations in controller performance. In most cases the default settings work well. If tracking mode movement is not satisfactory there are 2 parameters that can be adjusted. The first is selected under .
Firmware version → displays the version number of the installed firmware. The firmware version is also displayed briefly at startup. DMX The menu shows the DMX start code ( ) and DMX values received for each effect. Service messages The Service LED on the control panel lights under conditions that require fixture service, and there is a message describing the service required. To display the message, select in the main menu.
Figure 6: Zoom calibration point 3 Pan calibration is most useful when multiple fixtures are stacked vertically. To calibrate, set zoom, focus, iris, and tilt position for easy one-over-the-other comparison and set each fixture to the same pan DMX value. Select one fixture to be the reference fixture. On the other fixtures, select → → and press [Enter]. Adjust the offset as necessary to align the beam with the reference beam. Press [Enter] to save the setting.
EFFECTS The MAC 2000 Performance II is compatible with USITT DMX512 controllers. The fixture has two DMX operating modes, 8-bit and 16-bit. 16-bit mode requires three more DMX channels than 8-bit mode but provides more precise gobo indexing and pan/tilt positioning. All other functions are identical. The complete DMX protocol begins on page 39. Framing shutters Optimized for use in theater, the MAC 2000 Performance II features a fully automated, micro-adjusting framing shutter blade system.
Gobo animation system The gobo animation system is designed to create animated effects such as flames, sky and water imaging. The MAC 2000 Performance II comes with 5 replaceable gobo animation wheels, which are magnetically attached to the motor shaft, and which can be quickly changed. The gobo animation wheel pivots to allow horizontal, vertical, and angled effects, such as rising flames or windswept clouds.
Pan and tilt The yoke pans 540° and the head tilts 267°. For maximum positioning accuracy, select 16-bit mode. The pan/tilt speed (fast, norm, or slow) may be selected on the pan/tilt speed channel. Setting the pan/tilt speed channel to “blackout” causes the shutter to black out the light while the head is moving. Speed control There are two ways to control the speed at which effects move from one static position to another.
ANIMATION GUIDE This chapter is designed to help you get as much as possible from the gobo animation system in your MAC 2000 Performance II. It contains a section on general animation tips, an overview of the animation disc designs available, and a number of examples of different effects that can easily be created using your animation system. To achieve most of the effects you will use both an animation disc and a regular gobo.
Direction of movement The flexible mounting system for the animation discs inside the MAC 2000 Performance II allow you, through DMX control, to position the wheel at any position through a 90 degree section of the disc. This means that effects can be produced with a horizontal movement - such as clouds, with a vertical movement - such as rising flames, or at any angle in between - such as driving rain. The angle of the rotation can be changed during your show via the DMX control of the fixture.
Spiral breakup The Spiral Breakup disc (P/N 62400216) pattern is very similar to the Radial Breakup disc, but has some movement at right angles to the main motion, as is seen in wind blown rain, snow, or flames. It is particularly worth experimenting with the angle of the gobo and the orientation of the disc to achieve all the possibilities with this pattern. This animation wheel is supplied as standard with the MAC 2000 Performance II.
Dot breakup The Dot Breakup disc (P/N 62400214) gives you the opportunity to cause motion while maintaining a more focused projection of the gobo image. It is suggested for effects such as falling leaves or rising bubbles. This animation wheel is supplied as standard with the MAC 2000 Performance II. Flicker wheel The Flicker Wheel (P/N 62400222) provides a different kind of effect and can be used at high speed for motion effects, such as passing trains.
Water effects RIPPLING WATER Gobo 955 and one of the following Gobo 958 Gobo 833 Radial breakup disc Use slower speeds for gentler or more distant movement. For rough water, substitute a more 'wavy' gobo design such as DHA Lighting’s 'Reflected Water 906', 'Flames-4 960', or 'Fire/Waves 238-275' and use the Coarse Radial Breakup animation disc or the Elliptical Breakup animation disc (for an irregular movement) combined with a higher rotation speed.
REFLECTED WATER Gobo 903 and one of the following Gobo 906 Radial breakup disc As with any animation effect, the rotation speed and image focus will have a great effect on the final projection, so these parameters should be experimented with. With all water effects, it is possible to add an amount of cyan from the color mixing system, which will diffract to give both cyan and white color shifts as the image animates.
amount of cyan from the color mixing system, which will diffract to give both cyan and white color shifts as the image animates. Fire effects The range of animation wheels available for the MAC 2000 Performance II is very versatile in producing fire and flame effects. Good results may be obtained from many of the designs together with any standard flame or fire gobo designs.
RISING FLAMES 2 M AR 2 DHA 21 TIN 0803 0 Coarse tangential breakup disc Different to above, this animation gives a much stronger image of rising flames with the broader pattern on the disc. For this animation, it is possible to use the animation disk on its own to create the rising flame effect. You will need to set the focus away from the disk itself to enhance the effect. To give a different image, you could also add one of the standard fire or flame gobo designs.
RAIN Gobo 882 and one of the following Gobo 503 Spiral breakup disc For driving rain, you should angle the gobo first using the indexing control and then align the animation wheel anywhere between the horizontal and vertical axis to provide the desired effect. SNOW M A RT 02 DHA 17 IN 080 3 and Gobo 884 Elliptical breakup disc This is a simple effect to set up, but looks excellent.
TREE IN BREEZE M A RT 02 DHA 14 IN 080 3 and Gobo 110 Linear breakup disc By using a combination of the cyan and yellow color mixing flags, you can create various shades of green which will diffract to give a variety of shades. You should adjust the values proportionately to give darker or lighter shades of green to your image. Alternative gobos: There are a wide range of tree, branch and foliage gobos available which can all be animated to give very distinctive effects.
OPTICAL CONFIGURATION Rotating gobo wheel The MAC 2000 Performance II is supplied with 5 rotating gobos installed. Figure 7 shows the standard gobo configuration with the gobo positions marked. Open 1 - Dot breakup 5 - Flames 2 - Soft breakup 4 - Water 3 - Linear Figure 7: Standard rotating gobo wheel configuration as seen from lamp The rotating gobos are magnetically indexed with a special indexing gobo holder in position 2 (the Soft Breakup gobo).
Gobo specifications All gobo slots accept round theatrical size-E glass gobos. The rotating-gobo wheel positions hold gobos up to 3 mm thick with the gobo retention spring. Gobos thicker than 3 mm must be glued in the holder. For the best results, custom glass gobos that meet the following criteria should be used: Outside diameter: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .37.5 +0/-0.3 mm (1 15/32 +0/-0.01 in.)

Replacing rotating gobos Important! The gobo can fall out if the spring is inserted backwards. 1 Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool. 2 Lock the head in the top side up position and remove the top cover. Turn the gobo wheels as required to access the desired position. Pull the gobo holder away from the wheel slightly to release. Remove the gobo holder. TOP 3 Remove the gobo retention spring from the gobo holder and drop the gobo out of the holder. Insert the new gobo in the holder.
Effect wheel The effect wheel provides a variable frost filter and two positions for effects. The MAC 2000 Performance II comes with a wide angle lens and a nine-fact prism installed in these positions. Wide angle lens (beam expander) 9-facet prism Open position Variable frost filter Replacing effects 1 Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool. 2 Lock the head in the upside down position and remove the bottom cover.
For information about using the gobo animation effects, see “Animation guide” on page 20. Replacing the gobo animation wheel 1 Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool. 2 Lock the head in the upside down position and remove the bottom cover. 3 Using a finger or thumb (as illustrated), move the installed animation wheel up. 4 The animation wheels are made of thin aluminum, so use a screw driver to release the wheel from the magnetic mount. 5 Take the wheel out by hand.
ROUTINE Warning! MAINTENANCE Disconnect the fixture from power and allow to cool before removing any cover. Important! Excessive dust, smoke fluid, and particulate buildup degrades performance and causes overheating and damage to the fixture that is not covered by the warranty. The MAC 2000 Performance II requires routine cleaning. To maximize the life of the product and protect the investment it represents, clean the fixture regularly – especially the cooling systems.
Lamp replacement Important! Do not touch the quartz bulb with bare fingers. The lamp can be replaced with either a Philips MSR 1200 SA/DE GOLD (Martin P/N 97010310), or an OSRAM HMI 1200 W/S (Martin P/N 97010304). Both lamps are available from your Martin dealer. The clear quartz bulb must be clean and free of any oils from your fingers. Clean the lamp with an alcohol wipe and polish it with a dry cloth, particularly if you accidentally touch the bulb.
Aligning the lamp 1 Switch on the MAC 2000 Performance II and allow it to reset. Using either a controller or the control module, turn on the lamp and project an open white beam on a flat surface. 2 Center the hot spot vertically using the top Allen-head adjustment screw in the center of the rear plate. 3 If there is significant hot spot, turn the bottom adjustment screw counterclockwise until the light is evenly distributed.
Cleaning or replacing the air filters 1 Disconnect the fixture from power. On each side of the head, remove the 2 screws that hold the side cover using a Torx-20 screwdriver. Slide the cover forward to remove. Lift the filter off of the cover. 2 Clean the filters with a vacuum or compressed air, or replace them. If they are saturated with smoke fluid, etcetera, soak them in warm soapy water and blot dry. 3 Place the filters on the covers and replace the covers.
