The Martin Professional MAC Viper Profile is a high-performance moving head fixture that offers a compact and efficient solution for high-output lighting. Featuring a 1000W discharge lamp, the MAC Viper Profile produces a remarkable 26,000 lumens with a 6000K color temperature, offering excellent light quality, even field coverage, and high color consistency. This fixture outshines traditional 1200W profiles, delivering superior brightness and performance with more efficiency and less power consumption. Ideal for a wide range of professional applications, including concert tours, theater, and television, the MAC Viper Profile sets a new standard in the moving head profile category.
Designed with an optimized optical system, the MAC Viper Profile offers a large 140 mm front lens, which allows for a rich, full beam and improved light intensity. The fixture features a fast 1:4 zoom range (from 10° to 44°) that allows for smooth transitions between a tight beam and wider coverage. The auto-linked focus ensures perfect sharpness at any zoom level, making it highly versatile for any event or production. The fixture is capable of producing highly defined, sharp edges or soft wash effects, depending on the needs of the performance.
The MAC Viper Profile features a full range of dynamic effects for creative lighting design. It is equipped with two 5-slot rotating gobo wheels that offer a diverse selection of glass gobos, optimized for smooth gobo transitions with minimal focal separation. In addition, the FX wheel provides an additional 4 fixed gobos and a 135° animation effect for stunning mid-air visuals. These features are further enhanced by the motorized iris, which offers fast and tight control for various beam shaping effects, and an integrated 4-facet prism that allows for real beam separation and dynamic tiling effects.
Color mixing is made easy with the CMY system, providing smooth transitions from primary red, green, and blue to rich ambers, deep blues, and beyond. The 8-slot color wheel further expands the fixture's palette, offering static colors, correction filters, and random color effects. The fixture also features a linear CTO function for adjusting the color temperature from daylight (6000K) to tungsten (3200K), giving lighting designers greater flexibility to match any scene or mood. The dimmer and shutter system provides instant blackout, smooth fades, and variable strobe effects, while the frost filter allows for softer washes and beautifully diffused beam edges.
Another standout feature of the MAC Viper Profile is its ability to create precise framing with its innovative framing system. Four shutter blades can be individually adjusted by +/- 30° and the entire system can rotate +/- 55°, offering the ability to sharply frame a gobo or adjust the light beam for highly detailed effects. This feature is ideal for applications that require precision, such as lighting set pieces, architecture, or tightly controlled beams. The system ensures that all cues can be repeated with high accuracy, making it a reliable tool for lighting designers and operators.
The MAC Viper Profile is equipped with precise pan and tilt functionality (540° pan, 268° tilt), offering smooth, responsive movements for dynamic effects and quick repositioning. The fixture is also compatible with a range of control protocols, including DMX, RDM, Art-Net, and sACN, ensuring easy integration into any lighting setup. The fixture's local user interface provides a backlit LCD display with a battery-powered operation, allowing for quick access to control settings and easy fixture management. With firmware updates via USB or DMX, the MAC Viper Profile stays up to date with the latest enhancements, ensuring long-term reliability and versatility.
Designed for durability, the MAC Viper Profile is built with a UV-resistant fiber-reinforced composite housing and a glass reflector, providing robust protection for the internal components while remaining lightweight (weighing just 82 lbs). The fixture's IP20 protection rating ensures reliable performance in dry locations, and it features easy mounting with eight quarter-turn locking points. The fixture is also energy-efficient, drawing only 1225W of power under typical conditions, making it a cost-effective solution for high-output lighting applications.
In summary, the Martin Professional MAC Viper Profile is a cutting-edge, compact, and highly efficient moving head fixture designed to deliver exceptional brightness and performance. With its advanced features, including a wide zoom range, precise framing system, dynamic effects, and vibrant color mixing, the MAC Viper Profile is an ideal solution for large-scale productions, touring shows, and broadcast applications. Its superior output, speed, and efficiency make it a standout choice for lighting designers looking for a powerful yet energy-efficient profile fixture.
