About the HMI 1200 W/S lamp
The MAC 2000 Performance comes with a double-ended
OSRAM HMI 1200 W/S discharge lamp installed. This
highly-efficient short-arc source provides an exceptionally stable
6000K color temperature, a color rendering index greater than 90,
and an average life of 750 hours.
The lamp is capable of hot restrike. This feature, however, is only
supported by the MAC 2000 Performance with electronic ballast.
The ends of the lamp have specially-developed keys, shown in
Figure 6, to ensure proper installation. Do not use HMI 1200 W/S
lamps with the non-keyed SFc 10-4 base.
Warning! Installing any other lamp may create a safety
hazard or damage the fixture!
The lamp has an average life of 750 hours. To reduce the risk of
explosion, replace the lamp before usage exceeds 125% of the
average life, i.e., before it exceeds 940 hours. To read lamp hours
from the control panel, please refer to “Readouts” on page 15.
For optimum performance, avoid turning off the lamp before it
has warmed up fully.
Lamp replacement
Important! Do not touch the quartz bulb with bare fingers.
Replacement lamps are available from your Martin dealer. Please
order Martin P/N 97010304.
The clear quartz bulb must be clean and free of any oils from
your fingers. Clean the lamp with an alcohol wipe and polish it
with a dry cloth, particularly if you accidentally touch the bulb.

AC POWER
WARNING! For protection from electric shock, the fixture
must be grounded (earthed). The AC mains supply
shall be fitted with a fuse or circuit breaker and
ground-fault protection.
Important! Verify the power supply settings before applying
power.
Power supply settings
The transformer in the MAC 2000 Performance must be tapped
correctly for the local AC voltage. The wrong transformer setting
can cause overheating, damage, and poor performance. The
factory setting is printed on the serial number label.
The MAC 2000 Performance has an electronic ballast that
automatically adapts to the line voltage and frequency.
FUSES
The MAC 2000 Performance comes factory set for 100 V or 120 V and has two 20 A T (time delay) main fuses, which
are located near the power switch. Units set at 210 V and above have two 15 A main fuses installed.
If you change the voltage settings, alternate fuses are supplied in bag packed together with this user manual. Use:
• 15 A main fuses when the transformer is set at 208, 230, or 250 V
• 20 A T fuses when it is set at 100, or 120 V
To change the transformer setting
1 Disconnect the fixture from AC power. Remove the rear base cover as shown in Figure 8.
2 Find the transformer setting in Table 1. Move the brown wire on the transformer connection block to the
position shown in Figure 9.
3 Close the base before applying power.
Power connection
Important! Connect the MAC 2000 Performance directly to AC
power. Do not connect it to a dimmer system;
doing so may damage the fixture.

You may need to install a cord cap that fits your supply on the power cable. A 3-prong grounding-type plug must be
installed following the manufacturer’s instructions. The table shows some possible pin identification schemes; if the
pins are not clearly identified, or if you have any doubts about proper installation, consult a qualified electrician.
To apply power, set the power switch on the base to the “I” position.
Reduced power function
The MAC 2000 Performance has an automatic power reduction function, which reduces the consumption to 700W if
the shutter/dimmer is closed for more than 3 minutes. This not only increases the lamp life, but also further decreases
the overall noise emission of the fixture.

Important! Never connect more than 1 data input and 1 data output.
The MAC 2000 Performance has both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. The pin-out on all
sockets is pin 1 to shield, pin 2 to cold (-), and pin 3 to hot (+). There is no connection to pins 4 and 5.
The sockets are wired in parallel: both inputs connect to both outputs. For reliable data transmission and to avoid
damage to the fixture, however, use one input and one output!
Connecting fixtures
• Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard microphone cable cannot transmit
control data reliably over long runs. 24 AWG cable is suitable for runs up to 300 meters (1000 ft). Heavier
gauge cable and/or an amplifier is recommended for longer runs.
• Never use both outputs to split the link. To split the serial link into branches use a splitter such as the Martin
4-Channel Opto-Isolated RS-485 Splitter/Amplifier.
• Do not overload the link. Up to 32 devices may be connected on a serial link.
• Terminate the link by installing a termination plug in the output socket of the last fixture. The termination
plug, which is a male XLR plug with a 120 ohm, 0.25 watt resistor soldered between pins 2 and 3, “soaks
up” the control signal so it does not reflect and cause interference. If a splitter is used, terminate each
branch of the link.
• Martin fixtures introduced before 1997 have reversed polarity data sockets (pin 2 hot and pin 3 cold). The
socket polarity is labelled. Use a phase-reversing cable between the MAC 2000 Performance and any
Martin device with reversed polarity.
To connect the data link
1 Connect the DMX data input from the controller to the MAC 2000 Performance’s 3-pin or 5-pin input (male)
socket.
2 Using the sockets that match your data cable, connect the output of the fixture closest to the controller to the
input of the next fixture.
3 Insert a male 120 ΩXLR termination plug in the 3-pin or 5-pin output of the last fixture on the link.

Rigging 13
R IGGING
The MAC 2000 Performance can be placed on stage or clamped to a truss in any orientation. The Fast-Lock system
enables quick and easy fastening of the clamp brackets in 4 positions as shown Figure 10.
Warning! Always use 2 clamps to rig the fixture. Lock each clamp with both 1/4-turn fasteners. The
fasteners are locked only when turned fully clockwise.
Warning! Attach an approved safety cable to the attachment hole in the base. Never use the carrying
handles for secondary attachment.
To clamp the fixture to a truss
1 Verify that the rigging clamps (not included) are undamaged and can bear at least 10 times the weight of the
fixture. Verify that the structure can bear at least 10 times the weight of all installed fixtures, clamps, cables,
auxiliary equipment, etc.
2 Bolt each clamp securely to a clamp bracket with an M12 bolt (grade 8.8 or better) and lock nut.
3 Align a clamp with 2 mounting points in the base. Insert the fasteners into the base and turn both levers a
full 1/4-turn clockwise to lock. Install the second clamp.
4 If the truss can be lowered, fixtures can be clamped on directly from the double flight case. If the fixture must
be lifted, block access under the work area. Working safely from a stable platform, hang the fixture on the
truss with the arrow towards the area to be illuminated. Tighten the rigging clamps.
5 Install a safety wire that can bear at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. The attachment point is
designed to fit a caribiner clamp.
6 Verify that the pan and tilt locks are released. Verify that there are no combustible materials or surfaces to
be illuminated within 1 meter of the fixture, and that there are no flammable materials nearby.

C ONTROL PANEL
The LED control panel is used to set the address and personalities, read lamp hours and other information, calibrate
effects, and run a test routine. Most of these functions may be performed remotely via the serial link with the Martin
MP-2 Uploader.
Navigation
The DMX address and any messages (see page 40) are displayed when the MAC 2000 Performance is turned on. To
enter the menu, press [Menu]. Press [Up] and [Down]to move within the menu. To select a function or submenu, press
[Enter]. To escape a function or menu, press [Menu]. See Table 5 on page 34 for a complete list of the menu items.
Note: [Enter]must be pressed and held for a few seconds to enter the utilities menu.
DMX address and protocol setting
The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from the controller.
For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control channels. Two MAC 2000 Performances may
share the same address, however, if identical behavior is desired. Address sharing can be useful for diagnostic purposes
and symmetric control, particularly when combined with the inverse pan and tilt options.
Two DMX protocols, 8-bit and 16-bit, are available. The 8-bit mode uses 20 control channels and provides full basic
control. The 16-bit mode uses 4 additional channels to provide finer gobo and pan/tilt positioning.
To set the DMX address and protocol
1 Press [Menu] to enter the main menu.
2Press[Up]untilAddR is displayed. Press [Enter]. To snap to channel 1, press [Enter] and [Up]. Scroll to
the desired channel and press [Enter].
3 Select PSET from the main menu and press [Enter]. Select 8bit or 16bt and press [Enter].
Tailoring performance
MOVEMENT
The MAC 2000 Performance provides six options for optimizing movement for different applications.
• The protocol setting (PSET)setting selects 8-bit or finer 16-bit control of pan, tilt, and gobo index.
• The pan and tilt invert (PATI)menu swaps and/or inverts pan and tilt.
• The pan/tilt speed (PTSP) menu provides 3 settings: FAST, NORM, and SLOW. NORM is best for most
applications. FAST provides better performance in applications where speed is most important. SLOW provides the
smoothest movement and is best in long-throw applications with slow movements through narrow angles.
• The studio mode (STUd) setting optimizes all effects besides pan and tilt for speed or quietness.
• The shortcuts (SCUT)setting determines whether the color, gobo, and effect wheels always take the shortest path
between two static positions or oscillate between outer positions.
TRACKING RESPONSE
The MAC 2000 Performance has a filter algorithm that looks at several position updates in tracking control mode and
calculates the ideal response for smooth movement. Tracking response is adjustable to compensate for variations in
controller performance. In most cases the default settings work well.
If tracking mode movement is not satisfactory there are 2 parameters that can be adjusted. The first is selected under
PERS/TRAC/MOdE. The default, MOd1, is the best choice with controllers that calculate intermediate
positions at a steady rate. Begin by selecting the alternative, MOd2, which is better if the intermediate positions stray
significantly from the line of travel.

Control panel 15
The second parameter is the number of position updates used to calculate speed. The level is adjustable between 1 and
10 under PERS/TRAC/CAL. Increasing the number of samples increases the distance over which speed is
calculated, making movement smoother but less responsive to sudden changes. Experiment for best results.
DISPLAY
The display intensity (dINT) setting controls display brightness. The display on/off setting (dISP) determines
whether the display remains on or extinguishes two minutes after the last key-press. To flip the display, press [Up] and
[Down] simultaneously.
LAMP
There are two settings that modify lamp control: Automatic Lamp On (ALON) and DMX Lamp Off (DLoF).
When ALON is off, the lamp remains off until a “lamp on” command is received from the controller. When ALON is
on, the lamp strikes automatically after the fixture is powered on. When ALON is set to DMX, the lamp strikes
automatically when the fixture receives DMX data, and it extinguishes 15 minutes after DMX data is lost.
When ALON is set to either ON or DMX, the automatic lamp strike timing is staggered to prevent all lamps from
striking at once. The delay is determined by the fixture address.
If striking lamps from the controller, note that striking many lamps at once may cause a voltage drop large enough to
prevent lamps from striking or trip the main circuit breaker. Avoid this by programming a “lamp on” sequence that
strikes lamps one at a time at 5 second intervals.
Power to the lamp can be turned off from the controller if DMX Lamp Off (dLOF) is on. If dLOF is off, a DMX
lamp off command is executed only if position 7 is selected on the color wheel and gobo 5 is selected on both gobo
wheels. Be careful: with the magnetic ballast model, it is not possible to restrike the lamp until it has cooled for a few
minutes. (The electronic ballast model provides hot restrike.)
DMX RESET
The fixture can be reset from the controller if DMX reset (PERS/dRES) is ON. If DMX reset is OFF, the reset
command can only be executed if position 7 is selected on the color wheel and gobo 5 is selected on both gobo wheels.
CUSTOM SETTINGS
The custom configuration function allows you to save and recall three sets of fixture settings. The savable settings are
DMX mode, pan/tilt speed, pan/tilt inverse and swap, DMX lamp off and reset, display settings, shortcuts, studio
mode, automatic lamp on, effects feedback, tracking algorithm, and tracking samples.
Readouts
Note: The MP-2 Uploader provides commands to display the time, temperature, and version readouts on the fixture
control panel.
TIME
INFO/TIME provides readouts of fixture hours (HRS), lamp hours (L HR), and lamp strikes (L ST). Under
each item is a resettable (RSET) increment counter and a non-resettable counter for total accumulated hours/strikes
since fabrication (TOTL). To reset an increment counter, display it and then press [Up] until it reads 0. (This may also
be done remotely using the MP-2 Uploader.)
TEMPERATURE
INFO/TEMP provides readouts of the head and base temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit.
FIRMWARE VERSION
INFO/VER displays the version number of the installed firmware. The firmware version is also displayed briefly at
startup.

16 MAC 2000 Performance
DMX
The DMXL menu shows the DMX start code (STCO) and DMX values received for each effect.
Service messages
The Service LED on the control panel lights under conditions that require fixture service, and there is a message
describing the service required. To display the message, select SMSG in the main menu. This item is available only
when the LED is lit. There are two service messages.
Replace lamp is displayed when the lamp counter exceeds 750 hours, which is the rated average life for the
HMI 1200 W/S lamp. The maximum service life is 125% of the average life, or 940 hours.
Fixture overheating is displayed when the head temperature exceeds 120° C (248° F). Overheating is
likely due to dirty air filters, fans, or air vents; incorrect power supply settings, or a defective fan.
Service utilities
Important! Enter must be held for several seconds to access the utilities menu.
TEST SEQUENCES
TSEQ provides a general test of all effects that can be run without a controller. UTIL/PCBt provides routines
for circuit board testing that are for service use only.
FEEDBACK TOGGLES
An on-the-fly position correction system monitors the color wheel, gobo wheels, gobos, rotating effects, and effect
wheel. If a position error is detected, the shutter closes while the effect resets. This feature can be disabled by turning
effects feedback (UTIL/EFFb) off.
The automatic pan/tilt position correction system may be temporarily turned off under UTIL/FEbA. The off
setting, however, is not saved and the system will be re-enabled the next time the fixture starts. If the system cannot
correct the pan/tilt position within 10 seconds, feedback is automatically disabled.
ADJUSTMENT
The adjustment menu (UTIL/Adj) provides manual control for making mechanical adjustments. See page 38.
CALIBRATION
The calibration menu (UTIL/CAL) provides utilities to define offsets in software that are relative to the
mechanical reset or home positions. This allows you to fine tune optical alignment and achieve uniform performance
between fixtures. Dimmer and zoom are calibrated to defined points. The other effects are calibrated relative to an
arbitrary reference fixture.
Default offset settings may be restored by selecting default offsets (UTIL/dFOF).
To calibrate effects
1 Apply power but do not strike the lamp until zoom has been calibrated.
2 To calibrate zoom, first remove the bottom head cover. Select UTIL/CAL/ZOOF and press [Enter].
Adjust the offset until the face of the zoom lens plate is flush with the back edge of the focus plate (Figure
12). Press [Enter] to save the setting. Replace the bottom head cover.
3 Pan calibration is most useful when multiple fixtures are stacked vertically. To calibrate, set zoom, focus, iris,
and tilt position for easy one-over-the-other comparison and set each fixture to the same pan DMX value.
Select one fixture to be the reference fixture. On the other fixtures, select UTIL/CAL/P OF and press
[Enter]. Adjust the offset as necessary to align the beam with the reference beam. Press [Enter] to save the
setting.
4 Tilt calibration is most useful when multiple fixtures are arranged horizontally. To calibrate, set zoom, focus,
iris, and pan position for easy side-by-side comparison and set each fixture to the same tilt DMX value.

Control panel 17
Select one fixture to be the reference fixture. On the other fixtures, select UTIL/CAL/T OF and press
[Enter]. Adjust the offset as necessary to align the beam with the reference beam. Press [Enter] to save the
setting.
5 To calibrate the dimmer, select UTIL/CAL/D OF and press [Enter]. Hold a piece of paper over the
lens. Set the offset to 0 and then increase it until light is clearly projected onto the paper. Press [Enter] to
save the setting. Remove the paper.
6 To calibrate color mixing flags (cyan, magenta, yellow, and color temperature correction), project white
beams with no dimming and position them for easy comparison. On each fixture, including the reference,
select UTIL/CAL/C OF and press [Enter]. (This adds a defined amount of cyan.) Select one fixture to
be the reference. Adjust the offsets on the other fixtures to match the reference color. Press [Enter] to save
the setting. Repeat for M OF (magenta), Y OF (yellow), and CTOF (CTC).
7 Focus calibration is useful when two or more fixtures are the same distance from a projection surface. To
calibrate focus, set up all fixtures with the same focus, zoom, dimming, iris, and gobo values. Select a
focussed fixture to be the reference. On the other fixtures, select UTIL/CAL/FOOF and press [Enter].
Adjust the offset to focus the image. Press [Enter] to save the setting.
SOFTWARE UPLOAD
The software update mode is normally engaged automatically by the upload device.

18 MAC 2000 Performance
E FFECTS
The MAC 2000 Performance is compatible with USITT DMX512 controllers. The fixture has two DMX operating
modes, 8-bit and 16-bit.16-bit mode requires three more DMX channels than 8-bit mode but provides more precise
gobo indexing and pan/tilt positioning. All other functions are identical. The complete DMX protocol begins on
page 27.
Framing shutters
Optimized for use in theater, the MAC 2000 Performance features a fully automated, micro-adjusting framing shutter
blade system. For accurate illumination of stage props and scenery, this framing system slices the elliptical beam into
angled shapes.
The system comprises four shutter blades, arranged in two layers. With this 2-layer system, the MAC 2000
Performance has been designed to project shapes with crisp, sharp edges.
Each blade can be swiveled +/- 30 degrees, and the entire module rotates 90 degrees.
Directly attached to the framing system is the iris. You can use either the iris or the framing system, or both together.
Gobos The gobo wheel provides room for 5 gobos. See page 20 to change gobos.
Gobos may be rotated and shaken at varying speeds and indexed to any position. Extremely accurate positioning is
available in 16-bit mode.
For each wheel, the gobo and type of rotation (indexed or continuous, with or without shake) are selected on the
wheel’s Gobo & Function Channel, which also provide commands for continuous wheel rotation. The gobo position
index and rotation speed are selected on its Position/Velocity Channel. In 16-bit mode, the position is further adjusted
on the wheel’s Fine Position Channel.
Gobo animation system
The gobo animation system is designed to create animated effects such as flames, sky and water imaging. The MAC
2000 Performance comes with 5 replaceable gobo animation wheels, which are magnetically attached to the motor
shaft, and which can be quickly changed. The gobo animation wheel pivots to allow horizontal, vertical, and angled
effects, such as rising flames or windswept clouds.

Effects 19
Dimming and strobe
The mechanical dimmer/shutter system provides smooth, high-resolution 100 percent dimming, instant open and
blackout, random and variable strobe effects up to 10 Hz, and random and variable pulses in which the dimmer snaps
open and slowly dims or snaps closed and slowly opens.
Color mixing
The color mixing system uses continuous dichroic cyan, magenta, and yellow (CMY) color filters. It is a subtractive
system that removes color from white light. Inserting all three filters results in loss of light: for maximum brightness,
mix 2 colors at a time.
Color temperature correction
The color temperature correction (CTC) system uses a continuous 0 - 178 mireds color filter that lowers the color
temperature from 6000 K to 2900 K.
Effect wheel
The effect wheel provides a variable frost filter and two slots that house a wide angle converter lens (beam expander)
and a nine-facet prism.
Iris The iris closes down to 15 percent of its full-open diameter with high, 200-step resolution. The Iris Channel also
provides random and variable speed pulsating iris effects.
Focus and zoom
The focus lens focusses the beam from approximately 2 meters (6.5 feet) to infinity. The zoom lens widens the beam
from approximately 10° at full spot to 28° at full flood.
Pan and tilt
The yoke pans 540° and the head tilts 267°. For maximum positioning accuracy, select 16-bit mode.
The pan/tilt speed (fast, norm, or slow) may be selected on the pan/tilt speed channel. Setting the pan/tilt speed channel
to “blackout” causes the shutter to black out the light while the head is moving.
Speed control
There are two ways to control the speed at which effects move from one static position to another. These are known as
tracking control and vector control and are selected on the Pan/Tilt Speed and Effect Speed Channels. These channels
are independent so you may, for example, combine a vector control pan movement with a tracking control color fade.
In tracking mode, speed is determined by the cross-fade time. The controller continuously sends small position
changes that the fixture “tracks.” To enable tracking mode, set the relevant speed channel to a tracking value. Note that
in addition to enabling tracking control, some tracking values also provide overrides of the menu settings.
In vector mode, speed is set directly on a speed channel. The cross-fade time must be 0. Vector control provides a way
to set speed on controllers that do not have programmable fade times and results in smooth movement regardless of the
cross-fade time or the controller’s processing power.
To open the iris slowly in tracking mode, for example, you program a scene with the iris fully closed and a second
scene with the iris fully open. Then you set a cross-fade time between the two scenes of, say, 10 seconds. The
controller gradually changes the iris position value from 199 (closed) to 0 (open).
To open the iris slowly in vector mode, you program the iris closed and open as before. Then you set the cross-fade
time to 0 and program a slow speed, in the second scene, on the Effect Speed Channel.
