  • Page 4: Introduction

    Introduction Warning! Before installing, operating or servicing the MAC Ultra Performance lighting fixture, read the latest version of the fixture’s Safety and Installation Manual, paying particular attention to the Safety Precautions section. The Safety and Installation Manual is supplied with the fixture. The latest version is also available for download from the MAC Ultra Performance area of the Martin®...
  • Page 5 • Check that the installation is safe and secure. • If the fixture is moved from a cold to a warm environment, remove it from its flightcase or packaging and give it at least two hours to acclimatize before applying power. This will help to avoid damage due to condensation.

  • Page 6: Effects

    Effects This section gives details of the effects available in the MAC Ultra Performance. See the DMX protocol table on page 25 for a list of channels and commands used to control the effects via DMX. Where fine control is available, the main control channel sets the first 8 bits (the most significant byte or MSB), and the fine channels set the second 8 bits (the least significant byte or LSB) of the 16-bit control byte.

  • Page 7: Rotating Gobos

    Rotating gobos The gobos on Gobo Wheel 1 and 2 in the MAC Ultra Performance have the same dimensions and specifications and are therefore interchangeable, but the goboholders on the two gobo wheels are different. You cannot move a goboholder from one gobo wheel to the other. We number gobo wheels in Martin fixtures in the order that the light from the source reaches them.
  • Page 8 Breakup Wheel – Gobo Wheel 2 The Breakup Wheel, Gobo Wheel 2, has five rotating gobos that can be used in any situation but are especially suitable for breakup effects when used together with the animation wheel. Gobos can be selected, indexed (positioned at an angle), rotated continuously and shaken (bounced).

  • Page 9: Animation Wheel

    Animation wheel The MAC Ultra Performance is supplied with the “Worms That Turn” animation wheel installed. The wheel can be used to add animation effects to gobo projections. When using gobo animation, adjust the fixture’s focus to obtain the most realistic results.

  • Page 11: Pre-Programmed Fx

    From firmware version 1.2.0 (due for release mid-2021), you can adjust the PWM frequency via DMX by sending value 255 on either the FX1 Selection or the FX2 Selection channel. Once activated, the corresponding FX Speed and Direction channel will control the LED PWM frequency. Note that this change is not stored permanently in the fixture, so you have to keep the FX Selection and FX Speed/Direction channels at the chosen values in order to keep the LED PWM frequency at the corresponding custom value.

  • Page 13 • FLASHING: No DMX signal detected. • CONSTANT: Valid DMX signal detected. The status LED is only active when the display is active. If the display enters sleep mode, the LED will also sleep. Battery power Warning! The fixture’s lithium battery is not rechargeable. Do not try to recharge it. If the battery is discharged, obtain a replacement from your Martin supplier.

  • Page 14: Control Options

    Control options You can control the MAC Ultra Performance using DMX and/or Martin P3 protocol. The fixture auto-senses the type of data that it is receiving and will respond correctly with no need for manual protocol selection. The following options are available: •...

  • Page 15: Rdm

    The intuitive graphic user interface in Martin P3 controllers lets you visualize and set up a custom installation that can contain a huge number of fixtures in any kind of physical arrangement within a few minutes. Device identification is automatic. You can arrange devices on the monitor using drag-and-drop. Latency from video input to output on fixtures is extremely low, while there is no latency between fixtures as they are fully synchronized via the P3 protocol.

  • Page 18: Fixture Setup

    Fixture setup The onboard control panel lets you configure the fixture using a range of fixture settings. Note that many of these settings are also available on the Control / settings DMX channel (see “Adjusting settings via DMX” on page 23). Fixture ID The fixture lets you set a four-digit ID number to ease identification of the fixtures in an installation.
  • Page 19 • The SPEED menu gives you two movement speed options: - PAN/TILT SPEED lets you set pan and tilt movement to FAST (optimized for speed) or SMOOTH (optimized for smooth movement – useful for slow movements in long-throw applications). - EFFECT SPEED lets you set all the fixture’s effects to FOLLOW P/T (effects speed follows the speed set for pan/tilt), FAST (optimized for speed) or SLOW (optimized for smooth movement –...
  • Page 20 prevent the fixture from exceeding its maximum operating temperature during ultra-low speed fan operation. - REGULATED FANS adjusts cooling fan operation to balance the fixture’s noise and light output characteristics. Cooling fans are set to the lowest speed possible and then increased as fixture operating temperature rises.

  • Page 21: Managing Fixture Settings

    Managing fixture settings Factory default settings FACTORY DEFAULT lets you reload the fixture’s factory default settings. Effect calibration settings are not affected, so any changes you have made to zoom, pan and tilt offsets will be kept. Custom settings The custom configuration function CUSTOM 1 - CUSTOM 3 allows you to save and recall up to three sets of fixture settings.

    To run a test: • In the FIXTURE TEST menu, scroll to TEST ALL, TEST LEDS, TEST EFFECTS or TEST PAN/TILT and press ENTER. • In the TEST EFFECTS menu, scroll to the effect you want to test and press ENTER to start a test sequence for that effect.

  • Page 23: Adjusting Settings Via Dmx

    Adjusting settings via DMX Certain fixture settings and parameters can be adjusted from the DMX controller on Channel 42, the Fixture Control/Settings channel. Commands sent on this channel override any settings entered in the fixture’s onboard control menus. To help you avoid accidentally applying a setting that may disrupt a light show, for example, the commands must be held for a certain time before they are applied.
  • Page 24 calibration range. The range can vary but is typically +/- 5-10%. In this case you can adjust the effect’s position using that effect’s DMX channel (8 or 16 bit) as follows: • DMX value 0 = -5% • DMX value 127/32767 = 0% •...

    Service and display messages The MAC Ultra Performance gives service and maintenance information by displaying a large 3- or 4-character short code and a smaller full-text message in the fixture’s display. The short code is visible at a distance, allowing easier reading with the fixture still in the rig, for example, while the full-text message gives more detailed information.
