  • Page 6: Effects

    Effects This section gives details of the effects available in the MAC Ultra Wash. See the DMX protocol table on page 22 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: Frost

    Frost The fixture has a frost effect that can be inserted into the beam to increase the smoothness of the washlight projection. The frost effect slightly reduces the zoom range available. With the frost effect applied it is possible to achieve a beam (half-peak) angle of approximately 8°...

  • Page 12: 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.
