Product News Published: 26 August 2004
Martin Professional has made available the first module in a new
Wing System for its popular Maxxyz lighting control desk that expands
the console’s functionality and gives users the ability to
customize and add more direct access.
An adaptable Playback Wing, the first of several Wing Modules to
be made available, expands the direct playback access of Maxxyz
by three times and allows the Maxxyz operator to navigate through
a show with even greater speed.
Increased
functionality
The Playback Wing consists of two Playback Modules in one frame,
adding 20 motorized faders with 20 customizable LCD buttons and
extending the playback capabilities of Maxxyz. The Playback Wing
also includes 10 additional LCD buttons, also customizable for easy
navigation, plus 40 conventional buttons - more advanced features
than competitive equivalents.
Flexible, modular design
The Wing System’s modular design is freely configurable, allowing
the possibility to create a Wing by incorporating any two modules.
As further Wing options become available, it will be possible to
combine different modules - thereby customizing it for a specific
application. Modules are easily attachable, making it fast to re-configure
a wing to suit one’s needs. The frame can be used with a single
Wing module if desired.
Maxxyz
console and Maxxyz PC functionality
Wing modules are robust and easily connected directly to the Maxxyz
console’s rear panel, or to a USB port on a laptop/desktop
computer and used in conjunction with the Maxxyz PC, which will
be released towards the end of 2004.
The Maxxyz Wing System follows the same contours as Maxxyz itself
and can be placed on the left or right side of the main console,
depending on the user’s preference. Multiple Wings can be
placed on both sides of the main console if desired to give the
ultimate customized solution. Use of multiple Wings for further
functionality is simple.
