Frequently asked questions
Can these products work together?
Yes. The P3-150 can control P3-enabled MAC moving heads as part of a larger system integrating video and pixel-mapping, though the MAC Viper Profile Luminare is a traditional profile fixture designed for conventional DMX control rather than video-driven pixel mapping.
Which is better for a standard theater or concert rig?
The MAC Viper Profile Luminare is built for traditional stage lighting with fast optics, color mixing, and mechanical effects. The P3-150 is a control device, not a fixture, and is designed for installations combining video content with LED or pixel-mapped lighting systems.
What is the key power and efficiency difference?
The MAC Viper Profile Luminare uses a 1000W HID lamp to deliver 26,000 lumens with over 50% better power efficiency than 1200W fixtures. The P3-150 is a controller with no light output; it consumes power only for processing and control functions.
Which supports more color control options?
The MAC Viper Profile Luminare offers CMY color mixing with continuous 0-100% per channel plus an 8-slot color wheel with interchangeable dichroics and linear CTO. The P3-150 handles 8-bit RGB 4:4:4 color sampling and 16-bit per-channel processing for video content and pixel-mapped fixtures.
