Effects
This section gives details of the effects that can be controlled via DMX. See the DMX protocol tables
starting on page 18 for details of the channels used to control them.
Where fine control is available, the main control channel sets the first 8 bits (the most significant byte or
MSB), and the fine channel sets the second 8 bits (the least significant byte or LSB) of the 16-bit control
byte. In other words, the fine channel works within the position set by the coarse channel.
Beam zones
The LED array in the MAC Quantum Wash can be controlled in three beam zones plus the Aura:
• Center spot
• Middle ring
• Outer ring
• Aura (backlight effect)
Zones can be controlled together in various combinations or independently.
Color control
The 'color wheel effect' channel offers a range of single-color presets which control the fixture's beam zones
together, plus a range of split-color presets in which center, middle and outer rings display different colors to
give multicolored beam and projection effects.
In Extended DMX control mode the 'color wheel effect' can be applied to all the beam zones as one unit.
8-bit RGB color mixing is available for each of the beam zones independently. The 'color wheel' can also be
applied to the Aura (backlight).
In Basic DMX control mode from software version 2.0.0, the 'color wheel effect' can be applied to all the
beam zones together. 16-bit RGB color control for all the beam zones together is also available.
White LEDs are not controlled separately but are deployed automatically as required during color mixing.
Beam Twister
The MAC Quantum Wash uses a rotating lens array over the outer ring of LEDs to provide 'Beam Twister'
effects. Combining use of the rotating lens array, the zoom system and the fixture's different beam zones
gives complex and dynamic multicolored mid-air beam, projection and front glass effects.
In Extended mode, you can set the Beam Twister effect to an indexed angle or rotate it with variable speed
in either direction You can also select from a range of pre-programmed Beam Twister effects that combine
lens rotation, zoom and multicolored beam zones.
Color temperature control
The MAC Quantum Wash provides white output with CTC (color temperature control) that is controllable
from 2000 K to 10 000 K in precise 50 K increments.
Electronic shutter and strobe effects
Electronic shutter/strobe effects include instant blackout and snap open as well as a regular or random
strobe with variable speed from 1 Hz to 20 Hz.
