Martin Adds Mac 2000 Conversion Kit Martin Professional has made it possible to easily convert two wash lights — the Martin Mac 2000 Wash XB and Mac 2000 Wash — into a powerful beam fixture with an inexpensive conversion kit that installs in minutes. Ideal for any event where both beam and wash effects are required, the conversion kit gets the most out of existing lighting gear, eliminating the need to invest in a completely new fixture. The Mac 2000 Beam XB upgrade kit consists of a new front lens module with micro-Fresnel lens and a set of four beam-effect gobos/apertures. The kit installs in less than 5 minutes; the components can be easily uninstalled and the fixture returned to a standard Wash configuration at any time. The 1,500-watt Mac 2000 Beam XB delivers a fat, tight and amazingly bright, hard-edge beam, perfect for big beam effects and long throws. Even at very narrow beam angles, output is outstanding with very high intensity. The fixture is made possible by a combination of efficient, high-efficacy optics. An electronic ballast offers hot-lamp re-strike and flicker-free light, and if users require the fixture to match the power output of existing 1,200-watt fixtures, a reduced 1,200watt mode can also be employed, saving energy and increasing lamp life. Despite a surprisingly compact size, the Mac 2000 Beam XB includes all the proven features of the Mac 2000 Wash XB, including full color mixing, color wheel, smooth dimming, strobe, variable CTC and zoom; the motorized zoom generates a wash effect instead of a hard-edge beam, and can be zoomed from tight to wide. A CMCY color-mixing system offers a broad spectrum of colors, and the unit also features an interchangeable, four-position (plus open) color wheel, allowing designers to customize shades and complement perfectly the color-mixing system. Additionally, a continuously variable color-correction system adds the flexibility to gradually and smoothly increase or decrease color temperature, which is useful for smoothing out color temperature inconsistencies when working alongside older lamps. The fixture allows for smooth fading via a combined dimmer/shutter. Mechanical dimming is from 0 to 100 percent, and the shutter offers rapid strobe effects up to 10Hz with instant open and blackout. In addition to mechanical dimming, an optional dimming wheel can replace the color wheel. Additionally, a gobo wheel with four static beam-effect apertures (plus open) allows for wider or tighter beam effects as well as multiple beams or cone looks.

The Mac 2000 Beam XB is constructed of rugged, modular components for easy maintenance. It has an auto-ranging switch mode for worldwide use. For additional information, visit www.martin.com. Chauvet Launches Legend Chauvet has introduced the compact Legend 300E Spot and Legend 300E Beam moving fixtures, which boast a bright output that surpasses that of fixtures with higher power ratings, allowing lighting designers to cover a larger area with fewer fixtures. The Legend 300E fixtures’ bright output is due to a carefully designed optical path and a powerful Philips MRS Gold 300/2 MiniFastFit lamp. The MiniFastFit socket allows for quick and easy lamp changes. Both fixtures come with CMY and CTO color-mixing systems, which feature vector speed for super-smooth color changes. Additionally, each fixture has a variable-speed color wheel with seven pure colors and white, split/linear colors and rainbow color. An advanced control system allows for quiet, fast and precise (16-bit) head movements. Both the Spot and Beam fixtures feature a pan range of 540 degrees and a tilt range of 270 degrees. Automatic pan-and-tilt correction and pan-and-tilt locks are standard features. The Legend 300E Spot features two variable-speed gobo wheels. One is indexed and has seven rotating “slot-n-lock” glass gobos in addition to open and gobo shake; the other gobo wheel has eight fixed gobos plus open. The fixture also ships with two extra gobos. Additionally, the Spot fixture features static frost, a three-facet rotating prism, an iris, a shutter with variable speed, focus control, a wide zoom range of 4 to 20 degrees and a 16-bit dimmer. The Legend 300E Beam projects a bright 3.67-degree beam. It has seven rotating and shaking gobos plus white, a three-facet rotating prism, and variable frost. Both the Spot and Beam units feature high-efficiency electronic ballasts and power supplies with power-factor correction for reduced interference and better compliance with local utilities. For additional information, visit www.chauvetlighting.com. Barco Shows New Moves Barco has announced a broad spectrum of enhancements, upgrades and new products geared toward strengthening its digital lighting and moving luminaire product lines. The company has expanded the capabilities of the DL.3 digital light, the Axon media server and the DML-1200 digital light and unveiled two new products, the SDI-DMX Mixer Pro and the 850-watt Intellaspot XT-1.
