E
FFECTS
The MAC 2000 Wash is compatible with USITT DMX512 controllers. The fixture has two DMX operating modes,
8-bit and 16-bit.16-bit mode requires two more DMX channels than 8-bit mode but provides more precise pan/tilt
positioning. All other functions are identical. See "DMX protocol" on page 25.

Dimming and strobe

The mechanical dimmer/shutter system provides smooth, high-resolution 100 percent dimming, instant open and
blackout, random and variable strobe effects up to 10 Hz, and random and variable pulses in which the dimmer snaps
open and slowly dims or snaps closed and slowly opens.

Color

The color mixing system uses continuous dichroic cyan, magenta, and yellow (CMY) color filters. It is a subtractive
system that removes color from white light. Inserting all three filters results in loss of light: for maximum brightness,
mix 2 colors at a time.
In addition, two color wheels are provided, each with four removable positions for dichroic glass color filters and a
position for a direct pass through of the beam.

Color temperature correction

The color temperature correction (CTC) system uses a continuous 0 - 178 mireds color filter that lowers the color
temperature from 6000 K to 2900 K.

Motorized zoom

The zoom lens widens the beam from 11° at full spot to 40° at full flood with the standard lens and aperture ring fitted.

The following tables list the beam angles available with the standard 50 mm (2 in) aperture ring fitted. Note that
narrower beam angles can be achieved by fitting smaller aperture rings. Note that light buster mode provides a high
intensity spot with no diffusion and is engaged when the zoom channel is set to 100%.
