Martin MAC Viper Profile Luminare W/ CMY Color Mixing
Description
Martin MAC Viper Profile Luminare with CMY Color Mixing
The MAC Viper Profile delivers exceptional output and speed in a compact, power-efficient form factor. This 1000W HID profile produces 26,000 lumens with superior light quality and a flat, uniform field, outperforming market-leading 1200-watt fixtures while consuming over 50% less power. The combination of fast optics, extensive color control, and intuitive mechanical effects makes this luminaire a high-performance alternative to larger, less efficient solutions.
Optical System & Output
The 140 mm front lens exceeds the aperture size of competitors in this segment, delivering a fat beam with excellent light quality at 6000K color temperature. A 1:4 zoom ratio with auto-linked focus provides fast, smooth beam adjustment from approximately 10° to 44°, while the 4-facet rotating prism with rotation and index control enables dynamic beam separation and accurate tiling effects.
Color & Effects Control
CMY color mixing with independently variable 0-100% channels delivers a vibrant palette including true reds, rich ambers, primary green, and deep blues, supplemented by an 8-slot color wheel with interchangeable dichroic filters for static colors and correction. Linear CTO control adjusts color temperature from 6000K down to 3200K, expanding creative color options. A combined mechanical dimmer/shutter system with 0-100% continuous dimming, strobe, and pulse effects provides instant blackout and smooth intensity transitions.
