Blockbuster Launches for Martin at Prolight + Sound 2013

With several blockbuster product launches, contests, and special events on the agenda, this year's Prolight + Sound exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany, promises to be both a busy and fun affair for Martin Professional.

Held April 10-13 at Messe Frankfurt, Martin invites all lighting professionals to hall 9, stand A93, where Martin will be showcasing new products across its entire product range.

Martin has chosen the leading international trade fair for event technology for the world premiere of its MAC Viper family luminaires, as well as a completely new product range -- Rush. Other product launches include the final luminaires in the MAC III series, new products in Martin's creative video series, a new flagship lighting console, and much more.

Visitors to Martin's stand will have the chance to win their very own MAC 101 moving head or M2GO lighting controller in a special prize draw. To be included in the draw, visitors need only register at the Martin stand and correctly answer four questions. Prizes will be drawn at 4:00pm at the Martin stand Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday where participants must be present to win.

Wear a Rush badge around the trade show floor -- available in the Rush area of the Martin stand -- and have an opportunity to win two Rush moving heads. One lucky participant will be stopped and announced as the winner each day Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

On the evening of April 11, Martin will be celebrating the newest member of the Martin family -- Rush -- at one of Frankfurt's premiere live music venues, Gibson Club. Experience light in the fast lane -- entrance tickets will be available at the Martin stand while supplies last.

MAC Viper Profile: With over 26,000 lumens of power from a 1,000W HID source, this award-winning profile workhorse is convincingly brighter than 1,200W fixtures and also outperforms them in terms of speed and compactness.

MAC Viper Performance: The MAC Viper Performance is a full-feature framing fixture that, according to the company, delivers an output and performance never before seen in a fixture this size or one using so little power. Like the MAC Viper Profile, extra focus has been placed on light quality with the Viper Performance housing the same optical system. The framing system consists of four shutter blades that can all individually adjust +/- 30-degrees while the entire system can rotate +/- 55-degrees.

MAC Viper AirFx: The MAC Viper AirFX is a new concept that combines hard-edge, mid-air effects and a beautiful wash field in one luminaire. Featuring a great selection of all-new gobo designs and capable of snapping or fading into a wash light at any point, output from its 1,000W lamp exceeds any larger and more power-demanding 1,500W profile fixture.

MAC Viper Wash: The MAC Viper Wash is a full-range Fresnel fixture that features quality light with color mixing and color stability across the entire beam. Simply put, the company says, this cost effective luminaire does what a good wash light should and does it well. It also maintains near full-efficiency throughout its entire zoom range with no visible beam jump when zooming from tight to wide.

MAC Viper Wash DX: The MAC Viper Wash DX is a full-feature, full-range wash luminaire with a unique internal barndoor system (shutters) that enables designers to shape and control light projection with precision. The internal framing system makes it a capable, automated substitute for a conventional daylight Fresnel fixture.

MAC III AirFX: The 1,500W MAC III AirFX is a bright and versatile lighting fixture, a new concept that combines hard-edge, mid-air effects, and a wash field in one luminaire.

MAC III Wash: The MAC III Wash is a high-performance wash luminaire with a unique internal barndoor system (shutters), a full-feature, full-range 1,500W wash light with outstanding light quality and output.

Rush: Light in the fast lane! Users can get up to speed at hall 9, stand A93.

M6: The M6 is the new flagship of Martin's M-series consoles. Through an innovative design, the M6 offers power, flexibility, and the ease-of-use of the M-series software. With 44 direct access playbacks, onboard processing for up to 64 DMX Universes, two multi-touch screens, twp additional touchscreens, 17 encoders, and the newly designed FastBlend T-bar module, the M6 is more than just a lighting console.

M-PC Free Edition: Get the power of the M-series on your computer for free with the M-PC free edition. The M-PC now allows anyone to output one Universe over Artnet and Enttec USB device and two DMX universes on the Martin Duo DMX without the need for a Martin One-Key license dongle.

VC-Strip: The VC-Strip family of narrow LED video strips is ideal for integration of video into stage and set designs, interiors, custom set elements, and more. VC-Strips are fully pixel-level calibrated on brightness and colors for optimal uniformity and quality and are driven by Martin's award-winning P3 System Controller family for smooth playback that the company says outperforms any DMX-based system. They are available in various lengths and can even be cut to required length on-site.

New accessories for VC-Dot family: A collection of new accessories for Martin's VC-Dot family of LED strings is available. The new accessories range from mounting profiles and mounting clips to alternative diffusers and outdoor power solutions, making the VC-Dot family even more versatile.

P3 System Controller Software Version 3.0.0: Version 3.0.0 of the P3 System Controller software brings a range of new features and improvements to the award-winning P3 System Controller family including support for Martin's VC-Series of creative LED video products (Grid, Strip, Dot), and more.

EC-Series Creativity Pack: To allow for more creative layouts using Martin's EC-10 and EC-20 LED video panels, Martin offers a Creativity Pack that allows a panel to be rigged in any possible orientation with input/output connectors that allow for daisy-chaining of panels with cables. This makes the EC-Series work for both standard rectangular screens and creative (random) panel layouts.

Jem AF-1 Mkll: Improvements in digital electronics has made Martin's industry-standard compact fan more responsive and versatile. Advancements in control, rotation, speed range, and increment adjustment according to the company, have raised the bar for quality, performance, and durability. Fully DMX controllable, it is the ideal fan for a large variety of indoor or outdoor applications from touring and stage to theme parks, cruise ships, and more.

Pro Clean Supreme: This pure, high-performing cleaning fluid has been tried and tested by Martin for years and has now been made available to the market. Specially designed for optimum performance while providing longevity of the heat exchanger, using Pro Clean Supreme on a regular basis reduces clogging and extends the life of Martin haze and smoke machines.
