- Page 6 Milestone The M1 is the result of over a decade of console development at Martin. The M1 has been developed with one goal in mind; to build the most affordable lighting console with the most value on the market. In our quest to find the right balance between features and cost, every aspect of the M1 design has been considered.
- Page 7 Quality All Martin M1 components are industrial grade and made to endure the toughness of rental and touring. Assembly quality, thorough testing, and software stability are all aspects that make the M1 the right choice. Not all consoles are created equal; the choice of components is extremely important and the M1 is built with the best components on the market.
- Page 8 Performance The Martin M1 is equipped with a fast dual-core processor, making operation snappy and fun. The dual core processor ensures that the user interface remains fast and responsive even if dozens playbacks and effects are activated simultaneously. Utilizing a quick communication protocol, all user actions on the hardware surface are immediately translated to the output.
- Page 9 Ease of use The Martin M1 is the easiest lighting desk you will ever learn. Why? Because the Martin M1 has been designed from the ground up with a single philosophy in mind - simplicity. The surface is clean and easy to navigate with fewer buttons and options to overwhelm the user.
- Page 10 Ergonomic One of the major aspects of the Martin M1 design is ergonomics. A new, comfortable, low profile design with proper spacing between faders and buttons insures operator accuracy. Too often smaller lighting desk designs have too many buttons that are too close to each other. The result is a bad compromise that is inefficient to operate.
- Page 11 Lighting is about contrast… With experience we have learned the importance of contrast on the user surface. It take a certain amount of time for eyes to adapt to the lighting condition. In a typical event the stage is often very bright while the control booth is very dark.
- Page 12 Once enabled the M1 will carry this license for its life-time. Up to two additional packs of 4 universes can be added to a single M1 for a total of 16 universes or 8192 channels. Another way to enable additional universes is to use the Ether2DMX8. One Ether2DMX8 will automatically increase the number of universes to 12 or two Ether2DMX8 for 16 universes.

- Page 26 Control surface The M1 control surface is designed to feel right from the first time it is used. The keypad section has been kept the exact same as previous Martin consoles in order to facilitate the migration from one console to another.
- Page 27 Playback and more! In live event situations where programming time is often a luxury, the Martin M1 comes with 46 direct access playbacks from its surface and hundreds more through the touchscreen. The 46 playbacks on the surface are divided into three sections called Playback, Submaster and User keys.
- Page 28 4 buttons. Each of the buttons can be assigned to a long list of functionalities such as Go, Flash+Go, Pause, Release, etc. The M1 offers 500 banks of 10 playbacks. The same cuelist can be assigned to several playback or submaster faders and each assignment can have its own set of options.
- Page 29 Playback section II The Submaster section offers 24 additional playbacks, 12 with 40mm faders and flash buttons and 12 with flash buttons only. Up to 500 banks of 24 playbacks, submasters, overrides, inhibitives can be assigned and controlled simultaneously. The same cuelist can be assigned to several playback or submaster faders and each assignment can have its own set of options.
- Page 30 User keys as Playback In addition to their multi-purpose functions, the 12 user keys can also be used to control cuelist. 9/23/2013...
- Page 31 The screen is mounted on a flip-hinge system that can be adjusted to be completely in line with the surface angle of the M1 so the screen is never in the way when programming. Folding it down onto the surface provides protection from damage and also hides it from unauthorized use.
- Page 32 Universe expansion 2048 DMX isn’t enough? No problem. The Martin M1 can be upgraded to generate up to 8192 DMX channels (or 16 universes). There are two ways to add more DMX universes to the M1. First, it is possible to purchase a 4 Universe license package (more information at www.martin.com).
- Page 33 Modules. The Button, Playback and Submaster Modules can be connected to an M1 to give even more direct access to playback, fixture selection, groups, presets, etc. It is up to the user to select the most efficient playback surface for his show.
- Page 34 Remote control The Martin M1 console can be remotely controlled via various tools that are available at no extra cost. First, there is the iPhone MaxRemote, a native iPhone application that allows quick access to most programming functions of the system. The iPhone remote is a true application and not a remote view of the console screen.
- Page 35 Networking M1 can be fully integrated with other Martin consoles and Martin Maxedia media servers. It supports the CITP thumbnail protocol for media servers and is also part of the MaxNet protocol. Currently the networking system allows tracking backup between consoles and remote access with the iPhone application.
- Page 36 Software The Martin M1 console offers a similar set of features that you find in much larger and much more expensive consoles. What makes the M1 software different is the intuitive user interface it provides in a very affordable package.
- Page 37 Traditional “moving light” desks were never optimized to handle media servers properly. Using CITP protocol, the Martin M1 can display all video and cue content through a series of thumbnails. This simplifies the process of choosing content to display on video screens.
- Page 38 Parameters control One of the first features any new user will notice is how well layout is the device parameters in the M1. Each device definition contains all needed information to properly show the parameters using a contextual approach. Values are represented in their best way to be readable and understandable by the user.
- Page 39 LEE, Rosco and GAM with hundreds of choices makes finding the right color a breeze. No longer is the color a combination of DMX values. Quick access through the M1 color browser helps to find just the right one. 9/23/2013...
- Page 40 DMX device on the market. Intuitive and powerful Fixture patch Adding fixtures to a show on the M1 as is easy as it can be. Using a step-by-step wizard, fixtures can be added to the patch without the need to read a complex manual.
- Page 41 Intelligent grouping M1 fixture grouping does more than simply store fixtures together inside a Group number. Its powerful masking system allows for many variants of fixture orders and combinations, each of which can be utilized for effects and timing controls extremely fast.
- Page 42 Effect generator The M1 features one of the best effect generators on the market. Each parameter of every device has its own effect parameter. Each generator has a multitude of curves and its own speed control, amplitude and delay. All effects parameters will track through your cuelist like any other device parameters.
- Page 43 Global and live timing Following the pace of a show is a breeze with the M1. At any time, the operator can increase or decrease the time scale of a cuelist or the whole desk, allowing for instant reaction in changes to a show.
- Page 44 The M1 offers many different preset groups with the option to customize all parameter assignments to suit the preference of the operator. Multiple Preset windows can be open at once.
- Page 45 For the M1, this is one fixture with four sub-fixtures. Handling effects and timings for several such fixtures is therefore very simple on the M1, and access to all fixtures is quick via the fixture window and the grouping functions.
- Page 46 Cuelist The concept behind the M1 is based around a very simple cuelist philosophy that is well established and familiar to many console operators. Each of the thousands of possible cuelists can contain 10,000 cues. Each cue has its own label, trigger mode, fade time and delay.
- Page 47 Timecode and MIDI MIDI An optional MIDI module can be added to the M1. The module comes with three MIDI connections In/Out/Thru. With this option installed the M1 can receive MIDI Notes, MIDI Timecode and MIDI Show Control. Using the optional MIDI module, Cuelist can be triggered via MIDI timecode.
- Page 48 Views can be exported and imported quickly with a USB memory stick. User settings All settings of the M1 can be saved to a file and stored away for later usage. This is particularly useful for users who tailor their M1 console to their needs.
- Page 49 The M1 command line follows a natural speech syntax that is easy to learn. M1 does not think like a computer but like a human being. Once the concept is understood the commands will come naturally to the user as they follow the same concepts and combinations are logical.
- Page 50 The M1 offers a powerful DMX Input system. Merge This function is very popular in theaters to combine a conventional desk with the M1. HTP or LTP mode can be selected Capture With capture, DMX values from the DMX input can be loaded...
- Page 51 Artnet management Artnet management M1 is compliant with Artnet 2 and supports RDM over Artnet devices. Connected Artnet nodes can be remotely configured. M1 has unicast and broadcast settings to optimize the system for the required network bandwidth. 9/23/2013...
