Animation wheel
The MAC Ultra Performance is supplied with
the “Worms That Turn” animation wheel
installed. The wheel can be used to add
animation effects to gobo projections.
When using gobo animation, adjust the
fixture’s focus to obtain the most realistic
results.
Frost
The fixture has a frost effect that can be
partially or fully inserted into the beam to give
a wash-type projection and soften gobo
outlines.
Note that using the frost effect at the narrowest
zoom angles will affect the zoom lens position.
From around 12° cutoff angle, the frost effect
does not affect the zoom setting.
Optional heavy frost
An optional heavy frost filter can be installed in the fixture in place of the prism. As the frost effect is heavy,
it is not primarily intended for use together with gobos. Its main value is that it can soften the edges of the
framing blades or give a ‘real’ wash effect.
Installation will typically take less than two minutes. The installation procedure is covered in the MAC Ultra
Performance Safety and Installation Manual supplied with the fixture and available for download from
www.martin.com.
Rotating prism
The MAC Ultra Performance has a four-facet circular prism that can be inserted into the beam at indexed
angles or rotated with variable direction and speed to give multiple beam effects.
Note that inserting the prism slightly reduces the narrowest zoom angle available.
Iris
The iris can be varied continuously to smoothly reduce the diameter of the beam. Opening and closing
pulse effects with variable speed are also available.
Framing
The MAC Ultra Performance’s framing module has 4 individually controllable framing blades with fully
variable angle of +/-30° through the entire insertion path from 0-100% (full curtain). The whole framing
module can rotate t/-83°.
The framing blades have independent control of angle and amount of insertion for each blade. Adjusting
these parameters gives enormous flexibility in forming the beam into shapes of different sizes with three or
four sides. It is possible to angle the framing blades
before
inserting them into the beam – a feature unique
to this fixture that gives more creative possibilities.
