Animation Wheel; Frost; Iris; Zoom And Focus - Martin MAC Encore Performance CLD User Manual

Animation wheel

The MAC Encore Performance is supplied
with the "Radial Breakup" animation wheel
(P/N 5069571) installed. The wheel can be
used to add animation effects to gobo
projections.
Animation position and rotation are
selected on channel 12 and adjusted on
channel 13.
When using gobo animation, adjust the
fixture's focus to obtain the most realistic
results.

Frost

The amount of frost filter inserted in the beam is variable 0 - 100%.

Iris

The iris lets you change the diameter of the beam and projections. You can adjust the iris from fully open to
closed.

Zoom and focus

The focus system allows sharp or soft projections. Focus range varies with zoom angle. At the narrowest
zoom angle, nearest focus is approximately 6 meters (20 feet). As the zoom angle is widened, the nearest
focus distance is reduced, down to approximately 2 meters (6.8 ft.), and far focus can be set to
approximately infinity.
The internal zoom system varies the focused beam angle from 12° to 48°.
Zoom/focus linking
Focus can be linked to zoom so that it automatically adjusts to match changes in zoom angle. Focus on
rotating gobos matches zoom closely, while focus on the gobo animation wheel matches zoom best in the
center of the zoom range and slightly less precisely at the two extremes of the zoom range.
Linked zoom/focus works within 3 distance ranges (figures are approximate):
• Near (7 meters / 25 ft.)
• Medium (15 meters / 50 ft.)
• Far (30 meters / 100 ft. - infinity)
To link zoom and focus, select a distance range using the Fixture Control/Settings DMX channel or FOCUS
TRACKING in the control panel PERSONALITY menu. Then adjust focus to obtain the required degree of
sharpness. Linking is now enabled and focus will auto-adjust.
