tour with grandma3 npc

Emque · Jan 30th 2023

First of all, sorry if this ends up in the wrong place.

I have a grandma3 onPC command wing that I use with a computer to program and run shows. Now I'm going out on tour with this small show that only has dimmer lights and some led-fixtures. It feels a bit overkill to bring the programming wing so I wonder how I should go on with only the software on a computer.

I have an Enttec DMX USB Pro MK2 to transform usb from the computer (macbook pro, Monterrey 12.6) to dmx. Does this work or do I need something else? Hardware? Change settings (which ones, and where?)

Happy to get any answers

You will need some MA hardware to unlock parameters in OnPC software

What kind of hardware? (Link?)

Any piece of hardware with "onPC" in the name. For example:

onPC node (2port, 4port, or 8port, could be DIN-Rail)
onPC command wing
onPC fader wing

And of course any of the processing units also. Of course none of them is a compact or cheap solution:?

If you are fine with 512 parameter..the vizkey unlock 512 parameter. Output then over any artnet/sacn device.

Your best and most reliable option would be to buy a grandMA OnPC 2portNode 2k.

grandMA3 onPC 2Port Node 2k | MA Lighting International GmbH

And the cheapest option is to look for a distributor and not a random webshop.

When you would buy a vizkey you would also have to buy a Node because you cannot use the enttec DMXpro with the grandMA software

(without doing some internal artnet to dmx conversion with other software)
