MAC 300 with SACO LED

[BRDinNC]

Has anyone used the MAC 300 LED wash heads?
They were built for a Paul McCartney tour in 2005, and NIN used them on a tour after that.

I have a local venue that bought a bunch of them. I can write a profile for it, but next to going thru each channel with my Swisson and figuring out what channel does what. It would be super handy if someone has used and can give a channel list.

Any help is appreciated.

According to Gear Source, who is selling them:

"Here is the DMX scheme:

1 = lamp Strike (Non existent) DO not map
2 = Dimmer (Non existent) DO not map
3 = RED (LED)
4 = GREEN (LED)
5 = BLUE (LED)
6 = WHITE (LED)
7 = frost (Non existent) DO not map
8 = PAN (Active)
9 = PAN FINE (Active)
10 = TILT (Active)
11 = TILT FINE (Active)
12 = PAN & TILT SPEED (Active)
13 = Effects speed (Non existent) DO not map"

Thank you for the info. This will help me get a start on it. I will reply with the final functional notepad code.

I did rewrite the HOG 2 lib for this fixture so you can control the intensity with the master.

How are these lights? I came across them and the price is low enough to make me not care that they're MAC300's.

Well, they are an LED Flood mover. I am not impressed with the beam angle, but if you had enough of them they would work in a club install. I personally would not use them for a stage wash or back light.
