MAC 700 Wash The MAC 700 Wash is the latest high performance luminaire in Martin’s line of award-winning MAC moving heads. It carries on the MAC tradition for excellence by offering much of the same technology, modularity and design as the MAC 700 Profile.
The 700 Wash is a powerful 700-watt Fresnel luminaire with a remarkable light output. It features a full CMY color mixing system and variable CTC plus 8 position color wheel. Other useful features include a wide range variable zoom, continuous and indexable beam shaper, and extremely smooth and fast dimmer shutter system. It also boasts the same service friendly modular design and silent cooling as the MAC 700 Profile. The MAC 700 Wash houses a superior and highly efficient optical system powered by a 700 watt short-arc discharge lamp. The durable short-arc HTI 700 D4/75 lamp is extremely powerful and more efficient than competitor lamps. This high optical performance produces a uniform distribution of light and color, a very cool color temperature that ensures a bright yet beautifully even colored light that lacks the brownish edge of competitive fixtures. A variable zoom is capable of a very wide range of beam angles from a punchy 12.5° beam to a wide 66° flood, and unlike step zoom systems that offer only two or three different beam angles, the MAC 700 Wash’s fully motorized zoom can achieve any beam angle within its range. Through a new and innovative motor control system, the 0-100% dimming performance of the MAC 700 Wash is not only fast but also seamless for velvety smooth fades.A full CMY color mixing system not only offers the broadest spectrum of color available it also works seamlessly with that of the MAC 700 Profile for precise color matching. In addition, an 8 position color wheel plus UV transmitter filter covers those hard to achieve shades. All colors on the wheel are replaceable, enabling designers to customize the fixture to their own requirements. A variable CTC system provides flexibility in color temperature, adding another dimension to the CMY system by giving warmer shades, useful when working alongside tungsten fixtures for example. A rotating and indexable beam shaper allows for alignment of the beam for easier coverage of scenery and set pieces. The adjusted beam provides for more precise illumination.The MAC 700 Wash is compact for such a powerful, feature rich fixture. It is housed in the same road-tested modular design as the MAC 700 Profile, a design that is both highly durable and highly serviceable. Multi connectors and spring loaded release mechanisms mean that no tools are necessary to remove and insert modules. And a multi position tilt lock keeps the head where you want it. Additionally, a silent low-speed cooling system means the fixture is suitable for noise sensitive applications like TV and theatre.
The MAC 700 Wash is only available with electronic ballast. This gives the added advantages of flicker free operation, lower weight, extended lamp life and a power saving mode. A hot lamp restrike means there is no need to wait for the lamp to cool before re-striking. The fixture is also fitted with an auto sensing switch mode power supply for world wide operation without the need for fixture re-setting.”
Pan movement is 540° by 246° of tilt and speed is exceptional for a mid-sized fixture. Movement is 16 bit, and an intelligent position correction system automatically returns the fixture to its original position if knocked out of place.
The MAC 700 Wash is naturally industry standard DMX-512 controllable and is equipped with both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR connectors. It is also RDM (Remote Device Management) ready for easier configuration, monitoring and management of DMX based systems.

Wireless Solutions Repeater RP-512 makes the difference in city lighting
The W-DMX repeater was recently installed in Stoke on Trent in the UK and in Gradara, Italy to make some exterior architectural illumination possible by overcoming some tricky environmental obstacles.In Stoke on Trent in the UK, a repeater, acting as a corner bender between the transmitter/receiver setup enabled the signal to cover a distance of 1.4km to control lights illuminating buildings and multi coloured lights in lamp posts. The installation includes two universes and about 100 pcs of LED fixtures, all wireless. Everything done in cooperation with Thorn Lighting.
As Gradara Castle, Italy was to have its exterior illuminated, a solid stone wall was effectively blocking the signal from reaching the exterior lights.Again a repeater, this time placed on top of the stone wall, was used as a corner bender allowing the signal to reach the outside lights. Totally about
200 pcs of SGM fixtures, Palco and Riabalta were used.
W-DMX BlackBox RP-512 repeater is used to boost the signal allowing it to reach further.
Huge distances or difficult environments can be covered. The repeater is widely used in permanent and temporary architectural installations and is popular as rental units.
The repeater receives the radio signal from a transmitter and performs
advanced signal processing before retransmitting. A robust design, with IP65
classification, makes this unit particularly well suited for demanding
environments.
The W-DMX BlackBox is a 512-channel plug-and-play repeater, compatible with
the full W-DMX product range.

Video Performer XT system from Spotligt, consists of a powerful graphic workstation, a dedicated software for multimedia handling and a complete series of files with images, animations and video: these allow to create and process an endless series of automated digital projections that could not be obtained so far with the use of conventional effect projectors. The images, taken from the program files or imported from any other external source, thanks to the video projector, become "intelligent" multimedia projections: the light designer can handle them directly through a DMX light desk by modifying the different parameters: position, shape, rotation, transparency, trichromatism, fading, solid projection, etc. superimposing, processing and mixing more images at the same time to obtain amazing effects that can be created "live" directly on scene or programmed in the desk memory.
New Arkaos powered video engine allows a new generation of extremely powerful and customizable video and 3d effects.Also the Arc Video DMX motorised yoke small/medium video projectors: the perfect companion for any Video Performer installation.By combining the power of video projection with the creative possibilities of automated effects lighting, ARC-VIDEO enables the creation of a new generation of automated lights that will deliver many new creative possibilities.

Virtuoso ®EX1 media server. The EX1 employs five independent light sources (an ambient light source and four directional lights) to model objects in a three-dimensional environment. Another innovative feature of the EX1 is the positional camera. This moving perspective feature has the ability to dolly in and out, and orbit on the x-, y-, and z-axis. This allows the camera or viewer's perspective to "fly through" anywhere in the 3D environment, including going inside any of the 3D objects. The camera also has a"field of view" feature that allows for imaginative forced perspectives on any object or layer.
The 3D virtual environment includes up to two separate backgrounds, which can be scaled, textured and rotated. The EX1 also allows up to three interactive geometric objects, which can be colored, rotated, scaled, and mapped with textures, static images, or movie files in a 3D environment. The creation of "virtual scenery" is completed with the positional camera and the five light sources which can be directional, ambient, colored, and intensified to provide realistic environmental lighting

PixelDrive for Mac a Macintosh-based version of their new control concept for driving DMX fixtures. This has been shown for the first timeat LDI 2003, alongside the existing PC-based version. IRAD. Manufacturers of RADlite, the digital media server engine on which PixelDrive is based, are also planning to release a Macintosh version early in the new year.Pixeldrive reduces a process that would normally consume hundreds of hours of complex, high-concentration programming time - to minutes – for example to programme a water ripple effect across a bank of Pixellines. The method imports video images – the same images that arebeing projected by the RADlite system - into the Pixelline lighting fixtures, which then act like another projection surface. The patternscreated by these digital images can be manipulated via the lighting desk – in exactly the same way as the RADlite images. Complex lighting sequences can now be controlled with virtual imagery which is then sent to any multiples of Pixelrange products, using art net Ethernet to distribute across as many DMX universes as required, vastly reducing the DMX allocation on lighting desks. Exceptionally large and complex colour mixing sequences are now possible with minimal pre-programming effort for both live entertainment and architectural projects.
