MA Lighting MA4010510 grandMA3 Processing Unit Rack Module | M

The grandMA3 processing unit M is built for lighting programmers and system integrators who need to scale DMX parameter output within an established grandMA3 session. Operating entirely within the MA-Net3 environment, it delivers frame-synchronous calculation and output across all connected parameters — a critical requirement for large-scale touring rigs and installed theatrical systems where timing accuracy directly affects the quality of the show.

Designed for efficient rack integration, the unit occupies just 2RU and includes 8 DMX outputs for immediate deployment. For productions requiring even greater distribution density, additional frame-synchronous DMX outputs can be added via grandMA3 xPort Nodes, making this unit the logical expansion core rather than a standalone solution. The centralized placement model recommended by MA Lighting — processing units at the core, xPort Nodes at the fixtures — reflects how serious production systems are actually built on touring and install projects.

An integrated touchscreen provides direct access to essential system functions without requiring remote login, which proves valuable during maintenance windows or fast-moving changeovers in dedicated equipment racks. Every parameter and session status remains visible and manageable locally, supporting both independent monitoring and full integration into the broader grandMA3 session.
