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.
