Description
Martin MAC Viper XIP Moving Head Lighting Fixture
The Martin MAC Viper XIP is a compact yet powerful LED moving head built for touring productions, live venues, and installed systems where reliability and output are non-negotiable. This fixture delivers exceptional brightness with intuitive control architecture, giving lighting designers and tech crews the professional-grade performance needed in demanding live environments.
Light Output & Optical Performance
A 760 W LED engine powered by 55 × 20 W white LEDs generates 28,000 lumens at a 5800 K color temperature, with peak luminous intensity reaching 2.4 Mcd. The 150 mm front lens and 1:9 zoom range (spanning 5.7° to 54° field angle) enable tight spotting or broad area coverage; 14 precision-coated lenses maintain optical clarity across the full zoom range.
Control Architecture & Environmental Durability
DMX connectivity via 5-pin connectors supports 54, 64, and 70 channel modes, while EtherCON I/O handles P3, Art-Net, and sACN protocols for networked installations. NFC smartphone control enables fast DMX addressing and personality configuration on set; a wireless DMX module slot adds flexibility for cable-free operation. The patent-pending XIP water/dust ingress protection achieves IP65 rating, and LED lifetime exceeds 50,000 hours—critical for tour schedules and permanent venues.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is IP65 rating, and why does it matter for live and installed lighting?
IP65 means the fixture resists dust ingress and low-pressure water spray, making it safe for outdoor tours, wet theater environments, and challenging venues. The Martin MAC Viper XIP uses a patent-pending XIP protection system to maintain brightness and control even in moisture-heavy or dusty conditions common in professional touring and permanent installations.
Can I control this fixture wirelessly or over a network?
Yes. The fixture supports traditional 5-pin DMX connectors in 54, 64, and 70 channel modes, plus EtherCON I/O for networked protocols (P3, Art-Net, sACN). It also includes a wireless DMX module slot and NFC smartphone control for on-set DMX addressing and personality configuration.
What's the zoom range, and is it tight enough for spotting?
The 1:9 zoom spans 5.7° (tight spot) to 54° (wide wash), giving you both precision spotting and broad area coverage in a single fixture. The 150 mm front lens and 14 precision-coated optical elements maintain clarity and color consistency across the entire zoom range.
How long will the LEDs last, and what is the light output?
The 760 W LED engine with 55 × 20 W white LEDs produces 28,000 lumens at 5800 K color temperature, with a peak intensity of 2.4 Mcd. LED lifetime exceeds 50,000 hours, making it reliable for extended tour schedules and permanent venue installations where frequent replacement is not practical.
What color mixing and effects does the XIP include?
The fixture features CMY color mixing, dual rotating gobos, and a framing system for custom light shaping. These tools let you achieve color-mixed washes, gobo effects, and framed light patterns essential for theater, touring, and broadcast production design.
