HARMAN Professional Solutions announced its Martin MAC Viper XIP, the next-generation Viper-class fixture that integrates Viper performance.
Integrating lumen output, XIP water and dust ingress protection, and silent noise levels, MAC Viper XIP is not only for temporary, year-round outdoor needs but equally ideal for theatre, broadcast, and other noise-sensitive applications. Featuring Martin’s light engine, the fixture delivers 28,000 lumens consistent output, outperforming much larger products on the market.
Unleashing a 5° narrow beam, MAC Viper XIP ensures lumen maintenance over the zoom range. Its superior 5,800K colour temperature enhances illuminated objects and ensures a white point on the black body curve.
Precision motor control results in unmatched pan & tilt speeds and nimble response times – key for followspot systems and optimal performance. MAC Viper XIP’s colour mixing, zoom speeds, and ratio between high-quality output, low-noise operation, and low-weight and size make it a versatile workhorse. It also features high-resolution, low-level dimming and gobo light recycling, enabling 25% additional output when inserting gobos.
MAC Viper XIP leverages onboard NFC technology to empower a streamlined setup via the Martin app. It also offers connectivity among the most popular control protocols, including DMX, Wireless DMX via plug in module, Art-Net, sACN and Martin P3 Control.
The newly designed optical system enhances the customer experience with a projection system that offers gobo projection sharpness.
“We are proud to unveil this true leap forward for not just moving head lights but the pro lighting industry,” said Henrik Kristensen, Product Manager of Stage Lighting, Martin Professional. “We’ve taken the very best features of our long-running Viper HID lineup and elevated them to next-level LED performance and efficiency levels. Then we are adding our hugely popular XIP weatherproofing technology for indoor/outdoor/anywhere usability. Our MAC Aura XIP, that debuted XIP technology, continues to be one of our most specified fixtures for some of the world’s most demanding applications. In previewing the new MAC Viper XIP, interest has been staggering and we believe this fixture has significant potential to become one of the most exceptional and versatile moving heads ever built.”
