grandMA3 Replay Unit
The grandMA3 replay unit offers the same features and functions as the grandMA3 consoles in a 19″ housing.
It can be easily built into a rack and is therefore perfect for fixed installations like theatre, studio or architectural lighting control or as a backup solution.

The grandMA3 compact XT console is the larger of the two compact models, offering the full system benefits of the grandMA3 system, housed in a compact and lightweight format. Easy to transport, the compact models are ideal for owner/operators and also the console of choice for tech-desk duties. The compact XT console features 2 huge multi-touch monitors, 5 dual encoders and a complete command section almost identical to the larger models. With 60 physical playbacks, 16 assignable x-keys and a dedicated master playback section the grandMA3 compact XT console provides plenty of playback options. The grandMA3 compact XT console includes 8,192 control parameters as standard, making it an ideal choice for small and medium sized professional entertainment lighting applications. The system size is scalable to 250,000 parameters with the use of additional grandMA3 processing units. The grandMA3 compact XT is compatible with grandMA2 and grandMA3 software. The grandMA3 lighting control consoles offer a fresh user interface with an optimized command section for intuitive and fast access. The grandMA3 consoles features dual encoders, which provide users with intuitive control of additional features and functions. Feature-mapping of the dual encoders is customizable, facilitating ease of use and faster programming. Long-life motorized playback faders are used across the entire grandMA3 console range. The faders incorporate a color-changing light pipe. All playbacks have direct access to button pushes as well as intensity and timing changes thanks to the new rotary RGB backlit encoders. The grandMA3 operating system is completely new and has been designed to feel more welcoming to fresh converts without alienating existing grandMA programmers. Extensive user feedback has been incorporated to ensure the new functionality address’ the real world needs of the MA family. The fundamental syntax of the grandMA2 has been preserved and extended to facilitate the new functionality. The grandMA3 software has an elegant new system-architecture incorporating new fixture, feature and effects-handling at it’s very heart. These ground-breaking concepts from top industry visionaries, are presented within a refined user interface, and are designed to make practical tasks more intuitive. Selecting fixtures, adjusting values, storing presets and playing back cues should all feel familiar, but improved in many details of the process. Better overview, faster access and more accurate information will create an improved user experience in programming and busking a show. Fixture information is now generic and allows simpler sharing of programmed data between fixtures. We also support the new GDTF (General Device Type Format) natively, allowing fixture manufactures to ensure their own fixtures are controlled as intended. Read more -
MA Network Switch: Performance and simplicity for your lighting networkSetting up a lighting network can be a complex and time consuming process. Especially when integrating different products using various lighting protocols. Even if a lighting network seems to be working, how can you guarantee that optimum performance and stability is achieved? Control from console to DMX distribution MA Lighting presents the perfect solution: With the brand new MA Network Switch, the setup time and the level of complexity to achieve an optimised lighting network is radically reduced. MA now offers the complete lighting control solution from MA console, via MA Network Switch and its network infrastructure to MA DMX distribution. In combination with the MA consoles and additional MA networking devices the MA Network Switch provides a very easy to use solution, even for complex lighting systems. Incorporating the hardware and software features MA is famous for. Simplicity The MA Network Switch is designed to simplify the set-up and management of today’s lighting networks. A simple and intuitive web browser based user interface allows network optimisation with a few easy steps. There is no need for specific networking knowledge. Standard lighting terminology is used allowing most common lighting protocols to be filtered via a web interface designed specifically for lighting technicians. Operational procedures can be standardised with these protocol filtering presets. Experienced network engineers can also access advanced functionality in the tiered interface if needed. This ensures better production preparation while on-site solutions are available via a simple preset assignment. True MA Lighting quality & support Rock solid MA hardware: the MA Network Switch is housed in a typically robust 1RU chassis, with colour coded group indicators front and rear. It provides a local display for port status, applied filters and recognised MA equipment. All connectors are Gigabit Ethernet via Neutrik etherCON plus two optional heavy duty fibre optic connectors from Neutrik or Fiberfox. Part of the DNA of MA Lighting is the industry leading MA technical support. Now, MA networks from console via switch to DMX distribution are fully supported. Outstanding performance The MA Network Switch ensures maximum performance by full throughput of all Gigabit ports and a bandwidth measurement system available via the front display to monitor the MA Network Switch performance. The grouping for easy organisation of the lighting network is fully adjustable to ensure smooth integration into existing fixed installation networking infrastructures. Networking The MA Network Switch is compliant with IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet and can be merged into existing Ethernet networking infrastructures. The ability to define port filtering with the common entertainment protocols combined with standard Ethernet protocols like IGMP and RSTP allows the switch to perform best in fixed installation as well as in temporary installations. This MA Network Switch includes two Mini-GBICs installed inside the internal SFP-cages and connected to two Neutrik opticalCON fibre optic connectors at the rearside of the switch, ready for mainly (but not limited to) touring applications. The fibre optic connection is a multimode (MM) connection via a opticalCON Duo Advanced connector. Read more -
Expanding the grandMA3 system is simple with addition of grandMA3 processing units! The grandMA3 processing unit M increases the overall grandMA3 system by 4,096 parameters and enables the system designer to expand the lighting control system in small steps. Besides the powerful CPU for frame-synchronous calculation, the grandMA3 processing unit M additionally offers a Mode2 to expand existing grandMA2 systems by 4,096 parameters. The grandMA3 processing units are designed for rack mounting and all models are only 2RU, allowing for efficient touring solutions. Each model is equipped with 8 DMX outputs for frame-synchronous DMX output throughout the network. Additional frame-synchronous DMX outputs are available with the addition of grandMA3 xPort Nodes. grandMA3 processing units offer a perfect system overview on the integrated touchscreen. This easy access to important functions allows for best maintenance if installed in a dedicated rack whilst every function can be monitored from the grandMA3 session. For larger systems it is suggested to keep the grandMA3 processing units in a centralized position for parameter expansion and to use grandMA3 xPort Nodes to distribute and output the frame-synchronous DMX data.
