Beam Effect (Frost); Iris; Focus And Zoom - Martin MAC III PERFORMANCE User Manual

Animation wheel
The MAC III Performance is supplied with the "Tribal waves" gobo animation wheel (P/N 62325143)
installed. See under "Specifications" on page 66 for full specifications for this component. Additional stock
patterns will be available as accessories from Martin dealers.

Beam effect (frost)

The MAC III Performance is fitted with a frost filter that can be applied to or removed from the beam
remotely.
If preferred, the frost filter can be replaced with the four-facet prism (available as an accessory: P/N
62329120) installed as standard in MAC III Profile fixtures. The prism can be applied at indexed angles or
rotated with variable direction and speed.

Iris

The iris can be set to a static diameter, or regular and random pulsing effects can be set with variable
speed.

Focus and zoom

The focus lens focuses the beam from approximately 2 meters (6.5 feet) to infinity.
The separate zoom lens varies the focused beam angle from 11.5° to 55° with the standard lens installed.
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:
• Near (5 - 10 meters)
• Medium (10 - 20 meters)
• Far (20 meters - infinity)
To link zoom and focus, select a distance range using the Fixture Control/Settings DMX channel or FOCUS
TRACKING in the PERSONALITY menu in the control panel. Then adjust focus to obtain the required
degree of sharpness. Linking is now enabled and focus will auto-adjust.
