Products: Control: MA Lighting


grandMA

The combination of well-established operating structures, phenomenal design and first-class quality packed with a host of fresh ideas and the latest technologies grants access to enthralling new dimensions. The grandMA offers an absolutely simple - almost perfect - control of extensive light shows with lots of channels and intelligent moving lights.

By no means is the grandMA any kind of substitute for one of the well - established MA boards. It rather embodies a next step in the continuous, future - oriented evolution towards the unlimited prospects of modern light design.

MA users will feel quite familiar with the grandMA right from the start. The basic procedures, known from the Scancommander, have proven to be the optimum solution for controlling intelligent moving lights - and, yes, have even become the standard for our industry. Obviously there have also been a number of changes - controlling a few hundred channels can't do without new intelligent solutions for all the individual, time-consuming operating steps. Basically, however, the grandMA still is a typical MA control board - easy to understand but nevertheless unbelievably poweful.

grandMA Light

The grandMA light is the small console that performs all of the functions of the larger Award Winning grandMA. With the grandMA light, you lose some of the faders & touch screens, but none of its functionality. It is completely compatible with the grandMA and will accept all shows programmed on grandMA in view of its reduced hardware.

At 29" × 20" × 5", it only requires a very small space. It has a very bright high contrast, full colour TFT touch screen and the viewing angle can be altered via adjustable legs at the rear of the housing. The light will support 2 additional external monitors. It has all of the I/O of the grandMA, so it will output 4 DMX universes (with 4 additional ones via Ethernet), DMX in, SMPTE, MIDI, RS-232, audio input, switching analogue inputs, etc.

The grandMA light has the features that have made grandMA so popular including an internal UPS and hard drive as well as motorised faders for multiple programming and playback options.

grandMA Replay Unit

The grandMA replay unit is a small rack mount controller unit that performs nearly all of the functions of the Award-Winning grandMA consoles. With the grandMA replay unit, you lose some of the faders and buttons, the touch screens, but none of it's functionality. It is compatible with the grandMA consoles and will accept all shows programmed on grandMA or grandMA light in view of its reduced hardware.

The grandMA replay unit is designed to perform as a stand-alone show controller on exhibitions, in theme parks or other venues where the operational surface of a full console in not really required. In conjunction with one of the grandMA consoles it also becomes a most powerful backup system which can run a complete show in full tracking in view of its reduced hardware.

At 19" x 17" x 5", it only requires a very small space. The "RPU" will support an external monitor and a service monitor. It has all of the I/O features of the grandMA, so it will output 4 DMX universes (with 4 additional ones via Ethernet), DMX in, SMPTE, MIDI, RS-232, audio input, switching analogue inputs, etc.

The grandMA replay unit has the features that have made grandMA so popular including an internal UPS and hard drive as well as faders for multiple programming and playback options.

Scancommander

As early as in the late eighties, automated fixtures (moving lights) already had their established place in sophisticated shows and tours. Today, whole product families for mid-sized applications are indicators of the dynamics, emanating from this fascinating technique.

The initial approach to control automated fixtures by using generic lighting controllers soon revealed their limitations. The complexity of intelligent lighting required an entirely new user logic.

Here, the MA Scancommander has set new criteria. You will find its fundamental user philosophy of combining convenient programming with maximum flexibility when working with any number of current moving light controllers. But even today - years after its debut in 1992 - the Scancommander still features the most persuasive solutions to meet the demand of controlling intelligent lights.

Lightcommander II 48/6

There is a world-wide standard for lighting control boards in live-oriented show business. That is why many consoles look pretty similar at first sight - for example, pre-set single channel faders, memory faders with different pages, chase and master sections, often with various display and special functions.

Only a closer look at the Lightcommander's helpful detailed solutions and intuitive logical processes will reveal the reasons why these MA boards rank among the best-selling boards of their class throughout the world.
