Useful for accurate illumination coverage of stage props, scenery or any object, the fully automated precision beam-framing system can produce a multitude of different shapes. Also new to the MAC 2000 Performance is a gobo animation wheel useful for special theatrical effects such as fire, sky and water imaging. The entire wheel can be swivelled for flexible positional control.
Like the successful MAC 2000 Profile, the MAC 2000 Performance incorporates an extraordinary 10-lens optical system that produces an extremely bright and sharp beam with high definition contrast and consistent beam field characteristics. The MAC 2000 Performance houses a CMY colour-mixing system that offers a nearly unlimited variety of colour choices plus an innovative colour temperature correction system for effective CTC flexibility, making it possible to gradually and smoothly increase or decrease colour temperature.
Other features include a gobo wheel with five indexable rotating gobos, additional effects wheel with rotating beam-shaper and 3-facet prism, and a variable frost capable of smooth gobo fade in/out possibilities. The MAC 2000 Performance also incorporates a fast and precisely moving focus and zoom system. Variable and smooth dimming, as well as extremely fast strobe effects are possible via a combined dimmer/shutter. Furthermore, the MAC 2000 Performance operates at a very low noise level, a must for the strict standards of TV studios and theatres.
