  • Page 5: Introduction

    Before applying power to or operating the MAC Viper XIP: • Read the ‘Safety Information’ section of the fixture’s Safety and Installation Manual that is included at the end of this User Guide, supplied with the fixture and available for download from the Martin website at www.martin.com.

  • Page 6: Applying Mains Power

    All sockets are protected by rubber caps. Keep the rubber caps in place at all times on unused sockets. Data via DMX cable The MAC Viper XIP has 5-pin locking XLR sockets for DMX and RDM input and output via DMX cable. The pin-out on both sockets is: •...

  • Page 7: Data Via Ethernet Cable

    • The MAC Viper XIP is compatible with 10/100 Mbit Ethernet only. Do not connect the fixture to a network port or device that is fixed to Gigabit Ethernet speed. If you need to integrate an MAC Viper XIP in a Gigabit Ethernet network, use a network switch to allow the link towards the fixture to operate at 100 Mbit/s Ethernet speed.
  • Page 8 Any Ethernet switch used to relay Art-Net, sACN or P3 data to the fixture must be capable of running at 10/100 Mbps speed, as the fixture does not support Gigabit Ethernet data rates. ® Martin MAC Viper XIP User Manual Rev. B...

  • Page 9: Control Options

    Control options You can control the MAC Viper XIP using DMX and/or Martin P3 protocol, and the fixture is also RDM- compatible. The fixture auto-senses the type of data that it is receiving and will respond correctly with no need for manual protocol selection.

  • Page 10: Rdm

    The P3 protocol will supply both DMX data and video pixel data to fixtures over a network cable. On the MAC Viper XIP you can use the video pixel data to control the intensity and/or the color of the fixture’s output with real-time control using the P3 Mix DMX channel.

  • Page 11: Effects

    Effects This section gives details of the effects available in the MAC Viper XIP. See the ‘DMX protocols’ section starting on page 43 for a full list of the DMX channels and values required to control the different effects. Shutter and strobe effects The fixture’s electronic shutter effect provides instant blackout and snap open as well as regular or...

  • Page 12: Rotating Gobos

    Rotating gobos The gobos on Gobo Wheel 1 and 2 in the MAC Viper XIP 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.

  • Page 14: Animation Wheel

    Light and heavy frost The MAC Viper XIP features two frost filters that are controllable via DMX: a light and a heavy filter. The light frost filter is mounted in the same plane as the prism inside the fixture, so you cannot use these two effects at the same time.

  • Page 15: Framing

    The MAC Viper XIP’s zoom lens varies the focused field angle from 5.7° to 51°. Wide zoom angles allow sharp focus on projection surfaces close to the fixture. At narrower zoom angles, sharp focus is only possible further from the fixture.

    PWM dimming. Pan and Tilt The MAC Viper XIP ’s head can pan through a range of 540° and tilt through 268° with 16-bit control resolution available in all the fixture’s DMX Modes. See the pan/tilt orientation reference drawings at the end of this user manual for a guide to the direction of pan and tilt movement.

  • Page 17: Fixture Setup

    Available using: Control panel – RDM – P3 The MAC Viper XIP offers three DMX modes: Basic, Extended and Ludicrous. See the ‘DMX protocols’ section at the end of this manual for details of the DMX control options available in the different modes and the number of DMX channels used.

  • Page 21: Video Tracking

    This signal processing takes fractions of a second and is normally invisible, but if the fixture is used to display video (using a Martin P3 System Controller, for example) the processing can interfere with video response times. We recommend that you disable video tracking during normal DMX control.

    The MAC Viper XIP features a standalone mode in which you first set up the ‘scene’ (i.e. the preset) that you want the fixture to display in standalone mode, and then set the fixture to show that scene whenever it is not receiving a DMX signal.

  • Page 24: Storing And Recalling Custom Settings

    Available using: Control panel – RDM – P3 The fixture receives a unique 12-digit RDM ID number at the factory to allow RDM devices to identify it. You can view this number, but it is of course non-resettable. ® Martin MAC Viper XIP User Manual Rev. B...

  • Page 26: Viewing Stored Status Messages

    You can reset the entire fixture, returning it to its state when first powered on. Be prepared for the head to move through its full range of pan and tilt movement while pan and tilt resets. The reset process takes several seconds. ® Martin MAC Viper XIP User Manual Rev. B...

  • Page 27: Calibration

    Creating calibration offsets allows you to fine-tune fixtures and achieve uniform behavior in multiple fixtures. Martin fixtures are adjusted and calibrated at the factory, and further calibration should only be necessary if fixtures have been subjected to abnormal shocks during transport or if normal wear and tear has affected alignment after an extended period of use.

  • Page 28: Adjustment Menu (Martin Global Service Only)

    Available using: Control panel only It is possible to overwrite the factory-set calibration values and replace them with the currently defined calibration values, but take care when doing this. Please contact Martin Service if you have any questions about making this change.
