What does the pixel control system do, and how is it different from a standard moving light?

The MAC Aura PXL SIP features 19 individually controlled pixels in the main beam and 141 pixels in the Aura backlight, allowing you to create graphics, chases, and layered color effects across the fixture itself—something conventional LED or beam fixtures cannot do. Each pixel can be addressed independently via DMX, RDM, or video protocol, enabling real-time animation and content mapping.

What venues and throw distances is this fixture suited for?

With 940,000 candela intensity and a 6° to 59° motorized zoom, the MAC Aura PXL SIP excels at mid-to-long throws in theaters, concert tours, and larger venues. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for tight rigging spaces where you need powerful output without a large form factor.

What control protocols and systems does it support?

The fixture supports DMX, RDM, Art-Net, sACN, and Martin P3 video protocol, integrating seamlessly into modern lighting control ecosystems and enabling direct video content mapping when using compatible controllers.

How bright is it, and what is the power consumption?

It delivers 10,500 lumens of RGBW output with 25.4 lumens-per-watt efficacy and draws 560 W of power, making it efficient for venues concerned with electrical load and cooling.
