MAC 500 Main CPU v1.7

Note: this is an old version. The current version is: MAC 500 Main CPU v2.0. ×

Last Updated: May 19

  • DMX protocol version 4 implemented.
  • Alternate DMX control for the fixed-gobo wheel implemented. When SPEC->gMOd->SCRL is selected, it´s possible to scroll the gobo wheel with tracking control or speed channel control, and it´s possible to rotate the wheel continuously at variable speed in both directions.
  • Focus calibration implemented (CAL->FOOF).
  • Fixed-gobo wheel speed adjusted for interchangeable gobos.
  • Pan and tilt tracking improved at slow speed.
  • The small delay (blackout) when starting random strobe at medium and slow speed is removed.
  • New menu item "TRAC" with the submenus "MOdE" and "CAL" for adjusting the pan and tilt tracking algo-rithm. Under "MOdE" two different tracking modes, "MOd1" and "MOd2," can be selected. In most cases "MOd1" is the best choice, but when using controllers with a very irregular DMX-update, "MOd2" could give better performance. Under "CAL" the smoothness level can be selected between 1 and 10. Experiment for best results.

Version 4 of the DMX protocol supports continuous scrolling of the fixed gobo wheel as well as the optional frost filter.
