A.C.T. Lighting

At A.C.T. Lighting the folks from MA Lighting (distributed in the US by A.C.T) were on hand to explain the latest refinements and additions to the grandMA console. The grandMA version 5.3 features a full blind editor, which works parallel to the live programmer. In addition, the console now supports WYSIWYG autofocus functionality via Ethernet directly. Keeping up with the times, MA has released the grandMAVideo, a new media-server application for all grandMA consoles, and coming soon is dimMA sine-wave, a new module with IGBT technology; the dimMA sine-wave modules will feature 4x3 kVA and 2x6kVA dimmer channels and will be based on pulse-width modulation with 40 kHz for extremely smooth waveforms. Also distributed by A.C.T. is the Frog 2 console from Zero 88. In this edition of the Frog line, there are no restrictions imposed by the hardware design. Multiple playback, user-definable controls, user-selectable screen views, and touch-screen menus allow you to choose an operating environment to best suit your needs.
