Question
Answer
Can I switch the console on and off using an powerline-
integrated timer, to start a show automatically?
A timer does the same as an interruption of the power
supply, i.e. the grandMA, Light and the ReplayUnit will
immediately switch over to battery supply and will shut
down the console after 3 minutes. No problems here, as
all active applications will restart after a reboot. After
switching on, the UltraLight will possibly try to access
the BIOS and not boot correctly.
In general, it is advisable to let the console switched on
and have the show run via the AGENDA menu.
Can I re-patch a fixture during a show (e.g. because a
malfunction has occurred)?
Being in a specific sequence, can I start the cue of
another sequence?
Can I run any show on any console?
In the Command line, you can patch fixtures or change
the patch number, without disturbing the show. Same
applies to the DMX sheet, when using the mouse.
In the sequence, start the cue in the LINK column with>
GOTO x (cue no.) EXECUTOR x.xx (Executor no.)
All shows will run on all grandMA consoles; only
exception with the Micro: the show may only have 1,024
channels; when loading a bigger show, the channels in
excess have to be deleted, as the performance would not
be able to handle it, and only 2 DMX universes could be
output.
