Overview

The MA Lighting grandMA3 Processing Unit L is an essential expansion unit for the grandMA3 lighting control system, designed to provide seamless, frame-synchronous parameter expansion for larger setups. This unit adds 8,192 control parameters to the MA-Net3 environment, making it a powerful and cost-effective solution for expanding lighting control capabilities in large-scale productions. Whether used in a touring environment or fixed installation, the grandMA3 Processing Unit L is the ideal companion for grandMA3 consoles, such as the Full Size, Full Size CRV, Light, Light CRV, Compact, Compact XT, Replay Unit, and Extension models.

The grandMA3 Processing Unit L is rack-mountable in a 2RU chassis, making it easy to integrate into any system. Designed with scalability in mind, the unit features 8 DMX512-A outputs, ensuring frame-synchronous DMX distribution across the network. For additional outputs, the system can be extended with grandMA3 xPort Nodes, making the grandMA3 Processing Unit L highly adaptable to complex lighting setups.

A key feature of this processing unit is its integrated touchscreen, which provides a detailed system overview and easy access to essential functions. This ensures efficient system maintenance, whether the unit is installed in a central location or a touring rack. Users can monitor and control every aspect of the processing unit remotely from the grandMA3 session, ensuring that the system remains optimized during operation. Additionally, the unit supports grandMA2 Mode2, expanding existing grandMA2 systems by 4,096 parameters, adding to its versatility.

Designed for ease of use, the grandMA3 Processing Unit L can handle extreme parameter loads, making it the perfect solution for productions requiring synchronized data across large lighting networks. The unit is suitable for touring due to its compact size and high durability, offering professional-grade performance in even the most demanding environments.
