Color; Rotating Gobos; Static Gobos; Gobo Macros - Martin MAC 550 Profile User Manual

Color

The two overlapping color wheels each have 8 color filters that scroll continuously, allowing split colors, or in
full-color steps. The protocol provides commands for random and continuous color scrolling at different
speeds.
Fine control of the color wheels is available in extended mode.

Rotating gobos

Gobo wheel 1 has six rotating gobos that can be indexed (repeatedly positioned at a programmed angle),
rotated continuously, shaken (bounced), and scrolled. The gobo slot and the type of movement are selected
on channel 8 and the index angle or rotation speed are selected on channels 9 (coarse) and 10 (fine).

Static gobos

Gobo wheel 2 has nine static gobos that can be scrolled continuously, allowing split gobo effects, or in
full-gobo steps. The protocol provides commands for random and continuous gobo scrolling at different
speeds.

Gobo macros

Channel 12 (9 in basic mode) provides 6 preprogrammed variable-speed macros that use different
combinations of color and gobos.

Gobo animation

The gobo animation system is designed to create animated effects such as rising flames or windswept
clouds when combined with overlapping gobos.
Channel 13 (10 in basic mode) sets the animation wheel's rotation mode (indexed or continuous), and
direction of movement. This channel also provides 5 programmed animation macros.
Channel 14 sets the wheel's index angle if indexed rotation is selected on channel 13, or its rotation speed
and direction if continuous rotation is selected on channel 13.

Prism and iris

The prism may be inserted and rotated clockwise and counterclockwise at varying speeds. The prism
control channel also provides 8 programmed macros.
The iris channel controls the diameter of the iris opening and provides variable speed pulsing effects. Fine
control of the iris is provided in extended mode.

Focus and zoom

The focus lens focusses the beam from approximately 2 meters (6.5 feet) to infinity. The separate zoom
lens varies the focused beam angle from 14° to 30°. Fine control of focus and zoom is provided in extended
mode.
