Main FeaturesMA VPU is the Video Processing Unit for the grandMA range of lighting control consoles. It uses a Windows®operating system to facilitate the control of video and still images directly from any grandMA console and runson readily available PC hardware. As fully integrated part of the grandMA network system, MA VPU is not justtriggered via DMX. This has many advantages. On the one hand a minimum of setup and configuration isrequired due to bi-directional communication between the console and the MA VPU. On the other hand thegrandMA console allows for direct access to the server and previews the content as thumbnails in the preset.The MA VPU enables a console operator to control and alter videos, still images and three-dimensional objects inreal-time from a grandMA lighting console. Three-dimensional objects can be textured with video clips oranimated images. Videos, still images and three-dimensional objects can be manipulated in multiple ways andin the same intuitive manner as a lighting fixture is manipulated from the grandMA console.15 of 218grandMA2 User Manual - Main FeaturesVersion 3.4 – 2018-07-25English
