MAC 500 Main CPU v1.8

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

Last Updated: May 19

  • DMX protocol version 5.
  • Quieter studio mode. When MOdE = STUd, the high frequency motor noise is further reduced. This is partially achieved by further decreasing the maximum speed of all effects in studio mode.
  • Gobo shake amplitude reduced slightly.
  • Tilt deceleration speed changed slightly in PTSP FAST mode.
  • Bug fix: A programmed pan position could vary slightly from time to time in PTSP FAST mode.
  • Bug fix: The fixture did not respond correctly after switching DMX mode via MPBB1. The problem did not apply to the control panel and disappeared after switching the fixture off and then back on again.
  • Bug fix: With Martin protocol, switching from a scene with both strobe and random-strobe to a scene with both strobe and random strobe disabled caused the fixture to continue to random strobe.

Version 5 of the DMX protocol adds 2 new commands.

  • On MAC 500 E´s the lamp reduce mode (400 W) can now be selected directly on the shut-ter channel.
  • The MOdE setting can now be overriden on the effect speed channel (DMX mode 3 and 4).
