Many new and innovative features have been added to the new software, version 5.60. In conjunction with additional tools such as grandMA 3D, grandMA onPC and grandMA remote, the grandMA console becomes a much more powerful multimedia control tool that meets the sophisticated requirements of today, says MA.
The new grandMA video software can be controlled with advanced features including browsing, previewing bitmaps of video footage and pictures as well as arranging the content of the media server directly on the console via MA-Net. The 'Channel Value' organization within the 'Fixture Editor' has been redesigned and will support channel values with 16-bit resolution for every single fixture.
The installation dimming system, dimMA, can be remotely configured from the lighting console via network. This includes the monitoring of dimmer feedback as well as error messages.
