Martin at PLASA Focus Leeds 2012 with the MAC Viper

Martin Professional heads to Leeds on April 17th for PLASA Focus 2012 where a new breed of moving head -- the MAC Viper Profile -- and much more will be on display at the Royal Armouries Museum in Martin's S-E16 stand.

Join Martin April 17-18 at PLASA Focus for an up close look at the MAC Viper along with a host of other new products like the all-new VC series of creative LED video solutions, a new portable lighting controller in the M-Series, and a new compact hazer in Martin's Jem family.

The Martin MAC Viper Profile is a new breed of high-performance profile luminaire with the qualities of an industry workhorse. It features intense light output from advanced lamp technology and innovative feature set, the company says. Its highly efficient optical system outperforms market-leading profiles in the 1,200W range and with over 25000 lumens of power from a 1,000W HID source is convincingly brighter than 1,200W fixtures. Power consumption is lower and output is approximately 50% more efficient than the 1,200W fixtures it replaces.

Martin launches the world's first series of 'true video' products to combine an all-new level of simplicity with a high level of quality, according to the company. Instead of relying on DMX, new creative LED video elements like Dots and Grids are driven by Martin's award-winning P3 System Controller family to give true video control with superb ergonomics. No more complicated setups involving DMX pixelmapping, loose power supplies, tons of cabling, and time-consuming addressing procedures. With video-quality calibration, video frame rates, and true video processing (gamma curves, color control, synchronization, and more) and Martin's Creative LED Video Series is loaded.

Part of the Series is formed by a variety of video dots called VC-Dot 1, VC-Dot 4, and VC-Dot 9 (each offering a different size and brightness). VC-Dots are the perfect solution for integrating LED video technology into a façade, stage design, ceiling, or any other structure (indoors or out).

Also available is the VC-Grid 25, a small, 200mm x 200mm LED video module with 25mm pixel pitch. Its compact size makes it extremely suitable for integration into stage designs, set elements, creative ceilings, and more. Used with or without a front diffuser, multiple VC-Grids can be combined in a countless variety of ways for ultimate design freedom.

All creative LED video products are supported by the P3 PowerPort 1500, an integrated power and data processor with flexible installation options. A single P3 PowerPort 1500 supports all products in a simple daisy-chain of hybrid cable.

M2PC is the complementary control surface to Martin's M-PC controller software. Featuring the same layout and portable size as the M2GO, the M2PC delivers a professional level of features directly from any PC. Following the philosophy and simplicity of our current controller platform, such as the Martin M1, according to the company, the Martin M2PC is one of the most powerful and affordable PC-based lighting controllers on the market.

The Jem Compact Hazer Pro is a versatile new haze machine from Martin Professional. Its ability to produce exceptional atmospheric haze effects in a short period of time makes it ideal for nearly any application. Low noise operation at slow fan speeds means it is suitable for noise-sensitive environments while a host of other innovative features make the Jem Compact Hazer Pro the perfect choice for many applications.
