    About the HMI 1200 W/S lamp The MAC 2000 Performance II comes with a double-ended OSRAM HMI 1200 W/S discharge lamp installed. This highly-efficient short-arc source provides an exceptionally stable TO P 6000K color temperature, a color rendering index greater than 90, and an average life of 750 hours.

  • Page 11: 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.

    24 AWG cable is suitable for runs up to 300 meters (1000 ft). Heavier gauge cable and/or an amplifier is recommended for longer runs. • Never use both outputs to split the link. To split the serial link into branches use a splitter such as the Martin 4-Channel Opto-Isolated RS-485 Splitter/Amplifier.

    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.

    To open the iris slowly in vector mode, you program the iris closed and open as before. Then you set the cross-fade time to 0 and program a slow speed, in the second scene, on the Effect Speed Channel. MAC 2000 Performance II...

  • Page 21: 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 22: 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 23 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 24: 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.

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 27 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.
