VIDEO TRACKING

 optimizes performance if the MAC Allure Wash PC is used with a video source.

In normal use, the fixture processes the signal it receives, tracking (or smoothing out) changes in values 
in order to ensure smooth fading between colors and/or intensities. This signal processing takes fractions 
of a second and is normally invisible, but if the fixture is used to display video the processing can interfere 
with video response times. If you enable video tracking, the fixture does not ‘smooth out’ input but instead 
snaps instantly when a value changes.

For best results, we recommend that you enable video tracking during P3 video display and disable it (the 
default setting) during DMX control.

DMX RESET

 defines whether the fixture or individual effects can be reset by sending a DMX command 

on the fixture settings channel. Setting it to OFF can help you avoid accidentally sending a Reset 
command during a show, for example.

EFFECT SHORTCUT 

determines whether the effects take the shortest path between two positions 

(shortcuts enabled) or not (shortcuts disabled). If shortcuts are enabled, the virtual color wheel effect can 
go through a virtual open position during changes from one color to another just as a mechanical color 
wheel would.

COOLING MODE

 lets you select between two cooling fan options depending on whether your priority is 

highest light output or quietest cooling fan operation:

-

REGULATE FANS

 optimizes cooling fan operation for light output. It controls fixture temperature by 

varying cooling fan speed up to the maximum speed available and does not limit light intensity.

-

REGULATE INTENSITY

 optimizes cooling fan operation for quietness. It limits cooling fan speed to a 

level that causes minimal noise and controls fixture temperature by limiting light intensity when 
necessary.

DISPLAY

 offers the following options for the LCD display:

-

DISPLAY SLEEP 

determines whether the display remains on permanently, or goes into sleep mode 2, 

5 or 10 minutes after the last time a control panel button is pressed.

-

DISPLAY INTENSITY

 lets you define the brightness of the display backlighting. Select 

Auto

 for 

automatic adjustment to match the ambient light level, or manually set the intensity to a level from 0% to 
100%. 

-

DISPLAY ROTATION

 lets you rotate the display manually through 180° so that it can be read easily no 

matter how the fixture is oriented. If set to 

Auto

, the MAC Allure Wash PC senses its orientation and 

rotates the display automatically.

-

DISPLAY CONTRAST

 lets you define the contrast of the backlit graphic display. Select 

Auto

 for 

automatic adjustment to match display intensity, or manually set the contrast to a level from 0% to 
100%. 

ERROR MODE 

enables or disables error warnings. If set to 

NORMAL

, the display is activated and lights 

up if the fixture needs to report an error. If set to 

SILENT

, the fixture does not light the display with error 

warnings but error messages can still be read when the display is activated manually. In both 

NORMAL

 

and 

SILENT

 modes, the status LED lights amber to indicate a warning and red to indicate an error.

HIBERNATION MODE 

sets light output intensity to zero and disables effect deployment and pan/tilt 

movement. The main purpose of the mode is to protect the fixture from the intake of airborne material 
such as dust and confetti and to provide an option for situations where noise is critical. The small 
reduction in power consumption obtained in Hibernation Mode is a by-product.

When you bring the fixture out of hibernation mode, it performs a full reset.

Factory defaults

FACTORY DEFAULT

 lets you reload the fixture’s factory default settings. Effect calibration settings are not 

affected, so any changes you have made to zoom, pan and tilt offsets will be kept.

Custom settings

The custom configuration function CUSTOM 1 - CUSTOM 3 allows you to save and recall up to three sets of 
fixture settings. The savable settings comprise:

• all the settings in the PERSONALITY menu,

• the fixture’s DMX address, and

• the fixture’s DMX control mode: Extended 16-bit or Basic 16-bit mode.
