4 MAC Encore Performance User Guide
Introduction
Warning! Before using the MAC Encore Performance, read the latest version of the product’s Safety
and Installation Manual, paying particular attention to the Safety Precautions section. The Safety
and Installation Manual is available for download from the MAC Encore Performance Support and
Downloads page on the Martin website at www.martin.com.
This User Guide is a supplement to the Installation and Safety Manual that is supplied with the MAC Encore
Performance. Both these documents are available for download from the MAC Encore Performance product
pages on the Martin® website at www.martin.com. This User Guide contains information that is mainly of
interest for lighting designers and operators, whereas the Safety and Installation Manual contains important
information for all users, especially installers and technicians.
We recommend that you check the Martin® website regularly for updated documentation, because we
publish revised versions each time we can improve the quality of the information we provide and each time
we release new firmware with changes or new features. Each time we revise this guide, we list any
important changes on page 2 so that you can keep track of updates.
You can also see the full product specifications and a range of useful documents such as 2D and 3D
drawings from the MAC Encore Performance product pages at www.martin.com.
Effects 5
Effects
This section gives details of the effects that can be controlled via DMX. See the DMX protocol table on page
21 for details of the channels used to control them.
Where fine control is available, the main control channel sets the first 8 bits (the most significant byte or
MSB), and the fine channels set the second 8 bits (the least significant byte or LSB) of the 16-bit control
byte. In other words, the fine channel works within the position set by the coarse channel.
Shutter and strobe effects
The MAC Encore Performance’s dimmer/shutter provides instant blackout and snap open as well as regular
or random strobe effects with variable speed from approx. 1 Hz to 25 Hz.
Dimming
The dimmer effect provides smooth, high-resolution fading from 100% to zero.
Fine 16-bit dimming control is available on DMX channels 2 and 3.
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and CTC
The amount of cyan, magenta, yellow applied to the MAC Encore Performance’s light output can be varied
from zero to 100%.
The amount of CTC (color temperature control) applied can also be varied from zero to 100%. The CTC
flags installed as standard vary between CLD and WRM models:
• The CTC flags installed in CLD models let you apply a variable amount of warm color temperature.
• The CTC flags installed in WRM models let you apply a variable amount of cold color temperature.
6 MAC Encore Performance User Guide
Color wheel
The color wheel has six color filters that can be applied as split colors or in full-color steps. The color wheel
can also be scrolled continuously, applying the color filters in sequence with control of color wheel speed
and direction. Color filters can also be applied in random order at fast, medium or slow speed.
As standard, the MAC Encore Performance is supplied with the following color filters installed:
• Slot 1 - Blue 101 - P/N 5076512
• Slot 2 - Green 203 SP - P/N 5076513

Rotating gobos
The rotating gobo wheel in the MAC Encore Performance has five rotating gobos that can be selected,
indexed (positioned at an angle), rotated continuously, and shaken (bounced). The wheel can also be
scrolled continuously or shaken. Gobo indexing, continuous gobo rotation, gobo shake and continuous
wheel scrolling are selected on channel 9. Depending on what is selected on this channel, the gobo indexed
angle or gobo rotation speed are set on channels 10 and 11, where fine 16-bit control is available.
The standard gobos are shown in the correct order in Figure 2. All gobos are interchangeable, but
replacement gobos must match the dimensions, construction and quality of the gobos supplied as standard.
The gobos are E-27 size (standard E-size 37.5 mm external diameter, 27 mm image area diameter).
Limbo/Crystal is a custom gobo glued permanently into its holder. If you replace Limbo/Crystal, you will
therefore need to order an additional goboholder.

8 MAC Encore Performance User Guide
Animation wheel
The MAC Encore Performance is supplied
with the “Radial Breakup” animation wheel
(P/N 5069571) installed. The wheel can be
used to add animation effects to gobo
projections.
Animation position and rotation are
selected on channel 12 and adjusted on
channel 13.
When using gobo animation, adjust the
fixture’s focus to obtain the most realistic
results.
Frost
The amount of frost filter inserted in the beam is variable 0 - 100%.
Iris
The iris lets you change the diameter of the beam and projections. You can adjust the iris from fully open to
closed.
Zoom and focus
The focus system allows sharp or soft projections. Focus range varies with zoom angle. At the narrowest
zoom angle, nearest focus is approximately 6 meters (20 feet). As the zoom angle is widened, the nearest
focus distance is reduced, down to approximately 2 meters (6.8 ft.), and far focus can be set to
approximately infinity.
The internal zoom system varies the focused beam angle from 12° to 48°.
Zoom/focus linking
Focus can be linked to zoom so that it automatically adjusts to match changes in zoom angle. Focus on
rotating gobos matches zoom closely, while focus on the gobo animation wheel matches zoom best in the
center of the zoom range and slightly less precisely at the two extremes of the zoom range.
Linked zoom/focus works within 3 distance ranges (figures are approximate):
• Near (7 meters / 25 ft.)
• Medium (15 meters / 50 ft.)
• Far (30 meters / 100 ft. - infinity)
To link zoom and focus, select a distance range using the Fixture Control/Settings DMX channel or FOCUS
TRACKING in the control panel PERSONALITY menu. Then adjust focus to obtain the required degree of
sharpness. Linking is now enabled and focus will auto-adjust.

Framing
The 4-blade framing module in the MAC Encore Performance can be rotated to an indexed position within a
range of 110°. Independent control of angle and amount of insertion is available for each blade. You can
insert one or more blades into the beam projection and also form the beam into any shape with three or four
flat sides.
Pan and tilt
16-bit pan and tilt control are available.
10 MAC Encore Performance User Guide
Control panel operations
You can configure individual fixture settings (such as the MAC Encore Performance’s DMX address), read
out data, execute service operations and view error messages using the fixture’s backlit graphic display and
control panel.
When the MAC Encore Performance is powered on, it first boots and resets, then it displays its DMX
address (or its fixture ID number, if one has been set) and any status messages (see page 31) in the display
A.
The display can be set to automatically rotate to match standing or hanging fixture orientation in the
PERSONALITY → DISPLAY menu or the Shortcuts menu (see “Shortcuts” on page 11).
Using the control panel
• Press the Menu button A or Enter button C to access the menus.
• Use the Up and Down buttons B to scroll up and down menus.
• Press the Enter button C to enter a menu or make a selection.
• The currently selected item in a menu is indicated by a star .
• Press the Menu button A to step backwards through the menus.
Status LED
The LED D next to the control buttons indicates fixture status depending on the color displayed and DMX
status depending on whether the LED flashes or lights constantly:
• GREEN: All parameters normal.
• AMBER: Warning (service interval exceeded, for example).
If ERROR MODE is set to Normal, the warning message will be shown in the display. If ERROR MODE is
set to Silent, the display must be activated by pressing the Enter button C to display the warning
message.
• RED: Error detected.
If ERROR MODE is set to Normal, the error message will be shown in the display. If ERROR MODE is set
to Silent, display the error message BY GOING TO NORMAL OR SERVICE - ERROR LIST.
• FLASHING: No DMX signal detected.
• CONSTANT: Valid DMX signal detected.

Battery power
The MAC Encore Performance’s onboard battery gives access to the most important functions in the control
panel when the fixture is not connected to AC power. The following functions are available on battery power:
• DMX address
• Fixture ID
• All personality settings (pan/tilt, cooling, fan clean mode, dimming curve, DMX reset, parameter shortcuts,
all display settings, error mode)
• Default settings
• Information (Power On Hours and Power Cycles counters, Software version)
• Error list
To activate the display when the fixture is not connected to power, press the Menu button A. Press again to
enter the menus. The display extinguishes after 10 seconds with no user input and the control panel is
de-activated after 1 minute with no user input. Press the Menu button A again to re-activate.
Shortcuts
If you hold the Menu button A pressed in for 2 - 3 seconds, a shortcut menu with the most important
commands appears. Select a command with the Up and Down buttons B and press the Enter button C to
activate, or press the Menu button again to cancel.
• RESET ALL resets the whole fixture
• ROTATE DISPLAY rotates the MAC Encore Performance display 180°.
• FOLLOW SPOT TOGGLE enables and disables followspot mode.
Settings stored permanently
The following settings are stored permanently in the fixture memory and are not affected by powering the
MAC Encore Performance off and on or by updating the fixture software:
• DMX address
• Fixture ID
• All personality settings (pan/tilt, cooling, fan clean mode, dimming curve, all display settings, error mode,
etc.)
• Resettable counters
• Service settings (calibration, firmware)
These settings can be returned to factory defaults using the control menus or via DMX.
Service mode
Holding the Menu and Enter buttons A and C both pressed in while powering the fixture on puts the fixture
into service mode, in which pan and tilt are disabled and a SERV warning appears in the display. Service
mode removes the risk of unexpected head movement during lamp adjustment. Cycling power and allowing
the fixture to start normally takes it out of service mode.
DMX address
The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from the
controller. For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control channels. If you give two
MAC Encore Performance fixtures the same address, they will behave identically. Address sharing can be
useful for diagnostic purposes and symmetrical control, particularly when combined with the inverse pan
and tilt options.
DMX addressing is limited to make it impossible to set the DMX address so high that you are left without
enough control channels for the fixture.
To set the fixture’s DMX address:
1. Press Enter to open the main menu.
2. Press Enter to enter the DMX ADDRESS menu, then scroll to the desired address and press Enter to
save.
3. Press Menu to exit.
