MAC 401™ user manual

Onboard control menus

Single head module operation

When only one module is installed on the head, the 

HEAD

 menu is automatically set to 

SNGL

. The MAC 

401 automatically detects whether an RGB Zoom or CT Zoom module is installed and adjusts the control 
menu accordingly. The following control menus are available:

Menu

Item

Options

Notes (Default settings in bold print)

ADDR

 – XXX

DMX address (default address = 1). The DMX address range is limited 
so that the fixture will always have enough DMX channels in the 512 
available.

items)

RAWX

Non-calibrated RGB mode with dynamic effects

1

RGBX

Calibrated RGB mode with dynamic effects

1

HSX

HSV mode with dynamic effects

1

RAW

Non-calibrated RGB mode without dynamic effects

1

RGB

Calibrated RGB mode without dynamic effects

1

HS

HSV mode without dynamic effects

1

CTX

CT mode with dynamic effects

2

CT

CT mode without dynamic effects

2

PGRP

1

Individual control of 4 pixels (segments)

2H

Control of pixels in 2 groups of 2 pixels, horizontal split

2V

Control of pixels in 2 groups of 2 pixels, vertical split

All

All pixels controlled as one group

PINV

OFF

Disable pixel inversion

ON

Pixel inversion: pixels swapped left to right and top to bottom

PERS

PTST

PTSP

Pan and tilt speed normal / fast

SWAP

Swap pan and tilt (pan commands move tilt and vice versa) - off / on

PINV

Pan inversion (reverse direction pan control) - off / on

TINV

Tilt inversion (reverse direction tilt control) - off / on

FANS

REG

Cooling fan speed thermostatically regulated

FULL

Max. cooling fan speed

SLNT

Silent mode. When Silent mode is selected the head fan will turn off. 
The base fan will still run. Values allowed for RGB or HSV (no matter 
what operating mode) will be limited to prevent the fixture from 
producing too much heat. If the LEDs get too hot the fans will revert to 
Regulated mode. When the LEDs are cool enough the fans shift back to 
Silent mode. The color wheel channel will have lower intensity in Silent 
mode.

DIM

LIN

Linear dimming curve

SQR

Square law dimming curve

ISQR

Inverse square law dimming curve

SCUR

S-curve dimming curve

DRES

OFF

Disable reset via DMX

ON

Enable reset via DMX

DISP

ON

Display is permanently on

2MN

Display switches off and goes into Sleep mode if controls have not 
been pressed for 2 minutes.

5MN

Display switches off and goes into Sleep mode if controls have not been 
pressed for 5 minutes

10MN

Display switches off and goes into Sleep mode if controls have not been 
pressed for 10 minutes

DINT

0-100

Display intensity. Default = 100%

ERRM

NORM

Display errors at 100% intensity (regardless of 

DINT

 setting) and 

illuminate the service light.

SLNT

Silent error mode. The error message does not appear in the display, 
but the service lamp is illuminated

CTC

(RGB Zoom 
module only)

WITH

Sending a value on a CTC channel adjusts the temperature of 
whatever color is currently being displayed on segment or fixture

INDP

Sending a value on a CTC channel overrides any color being displayed. 
Fixture or segment switches to white with variable color temperature
