MA Lighting grandMA3 Viz-Key - USB-Powered Device to Transfer grandMA3 Show Data into External 3D Visualizer

The MA Lighting grandMA3 Viz-Key is an innovative and indispensable tool designed to provide a seamless, stable, and secure connection between third-party visualization software and the grandMA3 lighting control system. The Viz-Key simplifies the integration of external visualizers by enabling direct communication with grandMA3 sessions, allowing lighting professionals to visualize their designs in real-time, with full control over fixture and scene programming.

The grandMA3 Viz-Key works by acting as a bridge between your visualization computer and the grandMA3 system, enabling the visualization software to be recognized as an MA-Net3 device on the network. It is the universal solution for all compatible third-party visualization software, eliminating the need for separate dongles or specific devices for different manufacturers. By plugging in the grandMA3 Viz-Key via USB, users can immediately connect their visualizers to the grandMA3 lighting control system.

Each visualization computer requires its own grandMA3 Viz-Key to connect with the grandMA3 system. With 512 parameters onboard, the Viz-Key allows for basic DMX output over Ethernet, enabling fixture testing in real-world environments, even if no additional parameters are available. This makes it an ideal tool for quick tests and simple setups.

To ensure continued access to visualization parameters, the Viz-Key requires an internet connection to the MA Worldserver every 10 days. This connection is established automatically in the background whenever the grandMA3 onPC software or any compatible visualization software is launched. This feature ensures that the Viz-Key remains updated and functional with the latest third-party visualization software, eliminating the need for manual updates or additional licenses.

The grandMA3 Viz-Key supports a wide range of third-party visualizers, with MA Lighting continuously testing and verifying software compatibility. Once a visualizer software version is approved, it is released on the visualizer's website, ensuring that users have access to the most current and reliable connectivity between their grandMA3 system and their chosen visualizer. The Viz-Key offers a universal and flexible solution, whether you are working on a small project or a large-scale production with complex lighting setups.

With the grandMA3 Viz-Key, integrating visualization into your grandMA3 workflow has never been easier. Whether you are designing for theaters, concerts, or architectural lighting, the Viz-Key ensures that you have reliable and real-time control over your lighting designs in a virtual environment. It is a must-have tool for any lighting professional seeking to streamline their design and programming process.
