User Manual 9
Mechanical effects
All mechanical effects are reset to a “home” position when the fixture is powered up. The fixture can also be reset via DMX if DMX
reset (
SPEC/dRES
) is enabled. There is also a combination of DMX values that allows you to reset the MAC 600/E even if this
feature is disabled; see the DMX protocol for details.
An on-the-fly position correction system automatically corrects the position of the effect wheels. This feature can be disabled by setting
effects feedback (
SPEC/EFFb
) to
OFF
.
General operation may be optimized for speed or quietness with the studio mode setting (
MOdE
).
P a n a n d t i l t
The moving head can be panned 440° and tilted 306°. The middle of the pan range is perpendicular to the front of the fixture, as
indicated by the arrow on the base. Movement may be optimized for speed by setting the pan/tilt speed (
PTSP
) personality to
FAST
,
or for smoothness by setting it to
NORM
. The setting may be overridden on the speed channel in vector mode. Movement is disabled
if lamp feedback is lost - indicating a blown lamp - to prevent possible damage or injury due to glass fragments.
Setting the movement speed to “blackout” in vector mode causes the shutter to black out the light while the head is moving.
The pan and tilt DMX channels can be inverted and/or swapped for convenience using the pan/tilt (
PATI
) menu.
C o l o r w h e e l
The color wheel has red, green, and blue dichroic color filters plus a 5600K to 3400K color correction filter and open white. The wheel
can be scrolled, allowing for split color effects, snapped to fixed positions, and continuously rotated in both directions at different
speeds.
The Shortcuts (
SPEC/SCUT
) setting determines whether the wheel takes the shortest path to the next position or turns in one direction
only. The setting may be overridden on the speed channel in vector mode.
Setting the color speed to “blackout” in vector mode causes the shutter to black out the light while the wheel moves.
C M Y s u b t r a c t i v e c o l o r m i x i n g
The CMY color mixing system is based on three graduated dichroic color filters: cyan, magenta, and yellow. Each color can be added
from 0 to 100%. A very wide range of colors may be achieved by varying the amount of each color. Since the CMY system is
subtractive, mixing 3 colors together results in a loss of light. For maximum brightness, mix 2 colors at a time. Three speed random
CMY color mixing is available at the top of channel 6.
The Shortcuts (
SPEC/SCUT
) setting determines whether the wheels take the shortest path to the next position or turn in one direction
only. The setting may be overridden on the speed channel in vector mode.
B e a m s h a p e r s a n d f r o s t
Two beam shapers allow you to widen and flatten the beam. Beam shaper 1 rotates 180° and beam shaper 2 rotates 90°. They may be
combined to drag the beam horizontally and vertically to increase the beam size.
A frost filter on the same wheel as beam shaper 2 softens the beam.
D i m m e r
The mechanical dimmer provides smooth, high-resolution 100 percent dimming.
S h u t t e r
The high-speed mechanical shutter opens and closes the light instantly. Light can be flashed at up to 8 Hz and there is a DMXcallable
random strobe function.
If the auto shutter function (
SPEC/ASHT
) is enabled, the shutter, which is faster than the dimmer, automatically closes when the
dimmer receives a command to close “instantly,” to provide faster blackouts.
