Moreover the MA-Net2 enables the complete integration of software tools like grandMA 3D and grandMA2 onPC as well as the powerful Individually, each element is fully developed, powerful and extremely hardware of the MA VPU (Video Processing Unit) and can also be used competitive. All of them are DMX compatible and thus can be used for bi-directional communication with the digital installation dimmer in stand-alone environments. However, as a complete system the MA dimMA. components build a synergy that is absolutely unequalled. This is based on two sections – the grandMA2 lighting controls at the heart and the Thus MA is the only fully-integrated system on the market which is MA-Net2 as internal system language. unrivalled. “The whole is much greater than the sum of its parts.” Control Video Dimming Network With the grandMA2 consoles, the MA VPU (Video Processing Unit), Next to the products and system elements, MA Lighting offers a variety the MA NPU (Network Processing Unit), the MA NSP (Network Signal of further renown products for control, dimming and DMX processing. Processor) and the digital installation dimmer dimMA MA Lighting They are all extremely reliable and many of them marked milestones. offers a fully integrated MA System that supplies optimal solutions for Among them is the Lightcommander series as well as the popular touring sophisticated projects with complex system requirements. All system dimmers which are also available in a special wall-mount version. components communicate via MA-Net2 (Ethernet). Because of this the different types of signals do not need to run on different systems. 5 MA System Integration Control Video Fader expansion – grandMA2 faderwing Video integration – MA VPU (Video Processing Unit) Dimming Network • • • Parameter expansion – MA NPU (Network Processing Dimmer integration with feedback function Unit) – up to 65,536 parameters per session 6 grandMA2 – Multi-User-Mode and backup solution (via 1GB/s MA-Net2) Live show controller, backup system and Preprogramming Tool – grandMA2 onPC and grandMA onPC grandMA2 full-size Preprogramming and visualisation – grandMA 3D grandMA2 remote For further information about the MA System and parameter expansion with MA NPU, please refer to page 60.
