Show Designer, Martin Professional's light show visualization and programming software, now offers much faster 3D rendering. Also from Martin, Stage Cyclo is a four-tube architectural fluorescent flood beefed up to make it robust enough for touring. A new set of Gobos for the MAC 2000 has been designed by Patrick Woodroffe. The Maxedia media server can run up to 20 layers simultaneously, while the new Maxxyz Wings are add-ons for the main Maxxyz lighting control desk. Good idea this: several different wing modules, all with the same construction, just different face plates. Rental houses will be able to mix and match wings to suit jobs, much as audio people have been doing for years. Martin also introduced several new lamps for the club market.
