Product News Published: 1 April 2008
Martin Professional’s popular Maxxyz™ lighting console
is now available in a Compact version that offers full Maxxyz functionality
in a modular mid-sized design. Built of a heavy-duty, long lasting
aluminium construction and thoroughly market tested, Maxxyz Compact™
has been designed with the rough and tumble touring and rental market
in mind. It offers stand-alone plug and play functionality at a
surprisingly good price.
Modularity
This latest addition to the Maxxyz range features four modules requiring
only USB and power connections. The modules - Cerebrum, Programmer,
Motorized Playback and Master - make the system’s functionality
even more flexible and intuitive.
The Cerebrum module is a powerful touch-screen computer, running
the software on Windows XP Embedded that controls Maxxyz Compact.
It can control up to 32 DMX Universes (4 direct, 28 via Art-Net
or Universal USB/DMX). The Maxxyz Cerebrum can also be used stand-alone
for controlling installations, for example in hotels or on cruise
ships. The Programmer and Playback Modules make creating and running
shows easier, quicker and safer. The Master Module has two faders
– Grand Master and Flash Master by default.
Grows
with your business
This modular concept allows for reconfiguration and/or future expansion
by adding hardware when needed, allowing for customization and saving
money. It also makes service easier. Maxxyz Compact allows for multiple
wing attachments and includes a convenient storage compartment.
The user-friendly console comes with an embedded, high quality
touch screen with the option of connecting an additional external
screen for even greater flexibility. The Compact has also been outfitted
with new LED strip illumination.
Tailored,
flexible programming
A powerful effects engine, Maxxyz Compact can control up to 16,384
fixtures, and allows up to 1000 cuelists with motorized fader control
and 1000 cuelists using playback control buttons, with parallel
execution of multiple cuelists. Sub-master, group master, and override
functionality is included, and the Graphical User Interface is customizable.
Four digital fader belts for fixture parameter control (intensity,
gobo, color, effect) are easy to access.
New and responsive digital LCD buttons have been included for fast
and direct programming. Five LCD function keys and five banks of
customizable function keys are available, useful for direct access
to functions like save show, banks, patch, record, and many more.
The Playback Module includes an additional row of playback flash
buttons (flash, go, pause/back and select) in addition to the motorized
playback fader.
Familiar
Maxxyz system
Maxxyz Compact retains not only the familiar layout of the full
Maxxyz console but the fast processing power, customizable Graphical
User Interface, powerful effects generator and MIDI / SMPTE timecoding
as well. It is fully compatible with the Maxxyz controller series
and easily networks with Martin’s Maxedia™ media server.
Maxxyz Manager Software allows for programming and triggering via
time and calendar schedules, and Maxxyz Compact communicates with
Martin ShowDesigner Gold, Silver or Visualizer software packages.
