Unleash an ultra-quiet, 28,000lm high-contrast beam indoors or out.
Martin MAC Viper XIP
High-Output, Full-Featured Outdoor Moving Head.
The MAC Viper XIP’s consistent, unwavering 28,000 lumen output outperforms much larger fixtures on the market. With its superior 5800 Kelvin colour temperature it ensures optimal illumination for artists and scenery. Enhancing your subject matter with a crisp white point without any green or magenta shift.
High-performance engineering from Martin’s rich heritage raises their latest moving head to the top of its class. Precision motor control that delivers unmatched pan & tilt speeds. This optimal performance along with nimble response times also lends itself to being a key part of a followspot system. 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 truly versatile workhorse. It also features high-resolution, low-level dimming, and incorporates light recycling with gobos, enabling 25% additional output when inserting gobos for increased performance and efficiency. The MAC Viper XIP is not only advancing moving head technology, its propelling fixture innovation.
Features
Outstanding Optics
The optical system of the MAC Viper XIP brings the customer experience to another level. With 14 layers of precision-coated lenses, the high-resolution projection system offers extremely sharp, centre-to-edge gobo projections never seen before. With a uniquely high level of contrast, the MAC Viper XIP provides incredible, razor-sharp mid-air effects. Finally, the optics are designed for an enhanced depth of field, enabling the shutter system to deliver well-defined framing of gobos.
Superior, Steady-State Output
Featuring a Martin Professional proprietary, tailor-made light engine and Martin’s innovative XIP smart weatherproofing technology that enables enhanced cooling performance, the MAC Viper XIP ensures a consistently bright 28,000 lumens of illumination, outperforming much larger products on the market. The highly efficient cooling system ensures that full output from the light engine is maintained when inserting colours, gobos, framing and other effects, without a reduction in output, typical of other products on the market. In-fact, light recycling from gobos, even elevates output by approximately 25 percent when gobos are used. The integral design of the optical system and proprietary light engine means class-leading lumen maintenance across the zoom range, delivering enhanced long throw capabilities.
XIP Unique Weatherproofing Technology for Cross-Event Utilization
Martin’s innovative, patent-pending XIP water and dust ingress protection make it ideal for a wide range of year-round, all-weather outdoor applications. Its smart design empowers seamless performance in any kind of weather, without the traditional penalties of size, noise, output limitations, and weight that typically come with IP65-rated fixtures. This makes the MAC Viper XIP equally ideal for indoor shows and events, such as television and theatre, where low weight and low noise are essential metrics. Ultimately, this means exceptional utilization of the product all year. With integrated XIP technology, you can also enjoy much easier access and service of the product, without the need for strictly-controlled maintenance environments requiring fixture vacuum testing. Finally, XIP technology completes Martin’s peace-of-mind philosophy with its in-built breathing capability that prevents lens and inside condensation.
Low Noise, High Impact
The MAC Viper XIP exudes Viper class output yet maintains the whisper-quiet noise level standards set by the MAC Encore. Martin’s smartly designed heat management system ensures an impressively quiet and high-performing moving head for theater, broadcasting and other noise-sensitive applications, yet maintains low LED junction temperatures for extended life and output performance.
Creative Freedom, Exceptional Performance
Moving heads have become increasingly robust and as the most feature-rich product Martin has ever made, no feature was left behind with the MAC Viper XIP. Martin engineers have invested thousands of hours to optimize the performance of every feature to make sure the product excels in even the most demanding applications and elevates the overall visual of any show or event. Further, to give designers as much creative freedom as possible and programmers an equally easier life, our engineering team has ensured that any effect works logically and without compromising or limiting what you can do with other features from MAC Viper XIP’s vast palette. Rest assured, the MAC Viper XIP always does exactly what you expect from it.
NFC and Connectivity
Introducing NFC (Near Field Communication) technology that enables MAC Viper XIP to communicate wirelessly with a smartphone. A dedicated Martin app that will soon be available, enables customers to interface with the MAC Viper XIP for DMX addressing, personality settings and other smart functions. Together with our connectivity slot for wireless DMX modules, the product is future-ready to set new standards for control and interaction.
