This small yet highly powerful 2,048 channel console features the same award winning software as the grandMA & grandMA light consoles. With its reduced footprint, a full color TFT touch screen display along with built-in trackball / mouse and support for an external monitor, the grandMA ultra-light is an extremely portable and very adaptable programming environment.

The grandMA ultra-light is completely compatible with the rest of the grandMA range. Shows can be programmed on one of the larger consoles and then played back or edited on the ultra-light.

Operation Modes
Conventional dimmer control via numerical keypad, fader display, encoders or motorized faders. Color scroller and Moving Light controls include unit and group selections, presets, graphical mouse interface, encoders and trackball. All output displays are interactive offering direct access for modifications – see something, touch it, modify it.

When space and price are at a premium, but grandMA functionality is desired, the grandMA pico is the choice. Using the same functionality that established the grandMA line as the leader in its field, the pico allows those operating on a budget today, but with an eye towards tomorrow, to have access to the grandMA tradition now.

The grandMA pico is nearly identical to the grandMA micro, but has five faders. Being the smallest console in the range with one color touch screen display, five manual faders, five physical playback buttons (on 128 pages), 1,024 DMX channels, free visualization software and support for one remote, the grandMA pico is the perfect introductory console for smaller theaters.

grandMA 3D is a free, state of the art visualization program, for PC’s running Windows XP or Vista. Connection to any grandMA console is via Ethernet and allows lighting designers and console operators to visualize their programming in a highly realistic virtual environment. grandMA 3D uses Direct X technology from the computer gaming industry and requires no external devices, such as dongles or interfaces.

Since the grandMA 3D acts as an integral part of a grandMA console, information only has to be input once as opposed to twice as with other visualization systems. Once fixtures are specified in the console they automatically appear on the grandMA 3D software ready to be positioned in the virtual environment. This 3D positional information is then stored in the grandMA console show file.

The 3 dimensional environments can be built inside of the grandMA 3D software and any bitmap file can be placed on any surface allowing for the complete customization of the virtual environment. grandMA 3D also connects directly to the free grandMA Offline software, either on the same PC or another PC on the same network. This means that, completely free of charge, users can preprogram their shows at home, hotel room or in transit on their personal computer and then upload their show data via floppy disk or directly via Ethernet to any grandMA console. Animation files can be created directly in the grandMA 3D software that will show camera movements and series of cues from the grandMA console. These can then be used as client presentations. The complete offline creation of show lighting, for free!
