  • Page 9: Ac Power

    Install the appropriate fuses in the holders near the power switch. Power supply adjustments The MAC 2000 Performance II (identified as such by the label on the base of the product) comes with an electronic ballast and an auto-sensing, auto-ranging switch-mode power supply. Manual adjustments to the transformer or ballast are not necessary as the MAC 2000 Performance II automatically adapts to the mains voltage and frequency.

  • Page 10: Data

    Important! Never connect more than 1 data input and 1 data output. The MAC 2000 Performance II has both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. The pin-out on all sockets is pin 1 to shield, pin 2 to cold (-), and pin 3 to hot (+). There is no connection to pins 4 and 5.

  • Page 16: Effects

    FFECTS The MAC 2000 Performance II is compatible with USITT DMX512 controllers. The fixture has two DMX operating modes, 8-bit and 16-bit. 16-bit mode requires three more DMX channels than 8-bit mode but provides more precise gobo indexing and pan/tilt positioning. All other functions are identical. The complete DMX protocol begins on page 38.

    shaft, and which can be quickly changed. The gobo animation wheel pivots to allow horizontal, vertical, and angled effects, such as rising flames or windswept clouds. Via your DMX controller, you can control both the starting position of the animation disc and its rotation direction and speed.

  • Page 18: Speed Control

    The pan/tilt speed (fast, norm, or slow) may be selected on the pan/tilt speed channel. Setting the pan/tilt speed channel to “blackout” causes the shutter to black out the light while the head is moving. Speed control There are two ways to control the speed at which effects move from one static position to another. These are known as tracking control and vector control and are selected on the Pan/Tilt Speed and Effect Speed Channels.

  • Page 19: Animation Guide

    D i r e c t i o n o f m o v e m e n t The flexible mounting system for the animation discs inside the MAC 2000 Performance II allow you, through DMX control, to position the wheel at any position through a 90 degree section of the disc. This means that effects can be produced with a horizontal movement - such as clouds, with a vertical movement - such as rising flames, or at any angle in between - such as driving rain.

  • Page 20: Animation Discs And Their Uses

    C o l o r The use of the dichroic CMY color changing system of the MAC 2000 Performance II can greatly enhance your animation effects. The system has been designed so that refraction across the beam will give slight variants in color, adding depth to your animations, particularly when using multiple dichroic colors.
  • Page 21 This animation wheel is supplied as standard with the MAC 2000 Performance II. E l l i p t i c a l b r e a k u p The Elliptical Breakup disc (P/N 62400221) produces a bidirectional movement similar to the Spiral Breakup, but with constantly changing direction of movement.

  • Page 22: Effects Ideas

    The ideas outlined here are intended as suggestions only. The precise look of any effect will depend on many factors including the focus setting of your MAC 2000 Performance II, the projection surface onto which the image is directed and any color mixing effects that you choose.
  • Page 23 W a t e r e f f e c t s IPPLING WATER Gobo 955 and one of the following Gobo 958 Gobo 833 Radial breakup disc Use slower speeds for gentler or more distant movement. For rough water, substitute a more 'wavy' gobo design such as DHA Lighting’s 'Reflected Water 906', 'Flames-4 960', or 'Fire/Waves 238-275' and use the Coarse Radial Breakup animation disc or the Elliptical Breakup animation disc (for an irregular movement) combined with a higher rotation speed.
  • Page 24 EFLECTED WATER Gobo 903 and one of the following Gobo 906 Radial breakup disc As with any animation effect, the rotation speed and image focus will have a great effect on the final projection, so these parameters should be experimented with. With all water effects, it is possible to add an amount of cyan from the color mixing system, which will diffract to give both cyan and white color shifts as the image animates.
  • Page 25 F i r e e f f e c t s The range of animation wheels available for the MAC 2000 Performance II is very versatile in producing fire and flame effects. Good results may be obtained from many of the designs together with any standard flame or fire gobo designs.
  • Page 26 C l o u d s , r a i n a n d s n o w The versatility that you can achieve with the animation system of the MAC 2000 Performance II makes this an ideal tool for creating all sorts of weather effects.

  • Page 28 REE IN BREEZE DHA 14 Gobo 110 Linear breakup disc By using a combination of the cyan and yellow color mixing flags, you can create various shades of green which will diffract to give a variety of shades. You should adjust the values proportionately to give darker or lighter shades of green to your image.

  • Page 30 Custom stainless steel gobos can also be used, however they can warp, losing sharpness, in a matter of hours in the MAC 2000 Performance II. The useful life will depend on the gobo pattern and the projection cycle.
  • Page 31 R e p l a c i n g r o t a t i n g g o b o s Important! The gobo can fall out if the spring is inserted backwards. 1 Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool. 2 Lock the head in the top side up position and remove the top cover.

  • Page 34: Routine Maintenance

    The MAC 2000 Performance II requires routine cleaning. To maximize the life of the product and protect the investment it represents, clean the fixture regularly – especially the cooling systems. It is essential to follow the guidelines given later in this section.
  • Page 35 R e p l a c i n g t h e l a m p s o c k e t The lamp holder used in the MAC 2000 Performance II eventually wears out due to the high voltages that pass through the contacts.

  • Page 36: Cleaning

    Cleaning schedules for lighting fixtures vary greatly depending on the operating environment. It is therefore impossible to specify precise cleaning intervals for the MAC 2000 Performance II. Cooling fans suck in airborne dust and smoke particles, and in extreme cases fixtures may require cleaning after surprisingly few hours of operation.
