Martin Professional's popular Maxxyz^TM 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^TM 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^TM 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.
