Product Description
Martin Lighting MAC Viper XIP White in Cardboard High-Output, Full-Featured Outdoor Moving Head
Overview
The Martin MAC Viper XIP next-generation, Viper-class moving head combines legendary Viper performance, Martin XIP smart weatherproofing technology, and the most robust feature set Martin has ever developed. Drawing on best-in-class features that defined the iconic Viper lineup, including Viper Profile, Performance, Wash and Wash DX, MAC Viper XIP builds on its heritage, setting a new standard for all-in-one performance, innovation and reliability.
The combination of MAC Viper XIP’s powerful lumen output and innovative patent-pending XIP water and dust ingress protection make it not only ideal for a wide range of temporary, year-round outdoor applications*, but also ensures exceptionally low-noise levels for indoor use, similar to the whisper-silent Martin MAC Encore. Featuring Martin Professional’s proprietary tailor-made light engine, the MAC Viper XIP unleashes an impressive 5° narrow, high-definition, and high-contrast beam, ensuring unprecedented lumen maintenance over the zoom range.
MAC Viper XIP’s 28,000 lumens outperforms much larger products on the market due to its consistent, unwavering output. Its superior 5800 Kelvin color temperature ensures optimal illumination for artists and scenery, with the white point precisely on the black body curve without any green or magenta shift to ensure a crisp white point that naturally enhances illuminated objects.
High-performance engineering catapults Martin’s latest moving head to the top of its class with precision motor control to deliver unmatched pan & tilt speeds and nimble response times - key for followspot systems and optimal performance. MAC Viper XIP’s color 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.
Adding to its feature-rich offering, MAC Viper XIP leverages innovative onboard NFC technology to empower quick and streamlined setup via the forthcoming, dedicated Martin app. It also ensures simplified connectivity among the most popular control protocols, including DMX, Wireless DMX via plug in module, Art-Net, sACN and Martin P3 Control (with fail-safe bypass).
The newly designed optical system elevates the customer experience to another level with a high-resolution projection system that offers unmatched gobo projection sharpness. Uniquely high-contrast levels paired with brilliant and crisp lens designs ensure incomparable razor-sharp mid-air effects.
With its uncompromising package of high-output optical performance, XIP smart weatherproofing technology, premium feature-set, low-noise, smaller footprint, and ease of serviceability; MAC Viper XIP dominates the mid- to large-moving head category. From concert stages to TV studios and EDM festivals to opera houses, the world’s top designers, specifiers, and rental companies can invest in the confidence and return on investment that only the MAC Viper lineup can deliver. And this Viper delivers indoors or out, all year long, in any kind of weather. MAC Viper XIP – the LEGEND strikes again.
A SPOT-ON White Point
Embodying a quality of light that is more pleasing to the eye, the MAC Viper XIP light engine’s native 5,800K color temperature ensures a white point precisely on the black body curve, with no green or magenta shifts, only crisp, vibrant white light.
Outstanding Optics
MAC Viper XIP's optical system features 14 precision-coated lenses and incredible center-to-edge clarity. Uniquely high-contrast levels produce razor-sharp mid-air effects & the shutter system’s enhanced depth of field ensures well-defined gobo framing.
Superior, Steady-State Output
Martin's tailor-made light engine and XIP weatherproofing allow MAC Viper XIP to deliver a consistent 28,000 lumens. Smart, efficient cooling maintains full output with colors, gobos, effects and gobo light recycling that boosts output by 25%.
XIP Unique Weatherproofing Technology for Cross-Event Utilization
Martin's patent-pending XIP water & dust ingress protection is ideal for temporary, year-round outdoor use overcoming size, noise, output, and weight penalties, typical of IP65 fixtures. Its low-noise and low-weight are also perfect for indoor events.
Low-Noise, High-Impact
MAC Viper XIP combines Viper-class output and whisper-quiet noise, similar to Martin MAC Encore. Smart heat management maintains low LED temperatures for long life & output, making it ideal for theater, broadcast & other noise-sensitive applications.
Creative Freedom, Exceptional Performance
As Martin's most feature-rich product ever made, MAC Viper XIP has been engineered to elevate the most demanding shows and events. Every feature has been optimized to give designers maximum creative freedom while ensuring uncompromising performance.
NFC and Connectivity
MAC Viper XIP NFC technology enables smartphone control via the upcoming Martin app. DMX addressing, personality settings and other functions are easily accessible. And with our wireless DMX module connectivity slot, it’s future-ready for control.
