26 MAC III Performance user manual
Pan and tilt
Coarse and fine pan and tilt control are available in both 16-bit and 16-bit extended modes.
Maximum and minimum pan and tilt limits can be set using the control panel (see “Personality – tailoring
performance” on page 16) and via DMX.
Rotating Framing
The 4-blade framing module in the MAC III Performance can be held static or rotated continuously with
variable speed. It can form the beam into any shape with three or four sides and morph between shapes.
Framing macros
If the fixture is set to 16-bit extended mode, a number of framing macros can be selected on DMX channel
22. These macros are pre-programmed framing effects with quick access via DMX.
The size of the framing macro and crossfading speed between macro shapes can be adjusted via DMX on
channels 23 and 24 in 16-bit extended mode.
When a framing macro is selected, the eight individual frame position and angle channels from 11/12 to
18/19 and the macro size channel 23 (in 16-bit extended mode) act as offsets that can modify the macro
shape and size. These channels must be at DMX value 128 for the basic macro shape to be displayed.
Note that an offset applied to a framing macro using any of these channels will not respond to crossfading
times set on channel 24 in 16-bit extended mode. To adjust crossfading speed when the basic macro shape
has been modified, channel 24 must be set so that macro crossfading speed follows console timing, and
crossfading speed must be set on the console.
