We want you to be able to fully express your creativity. That's why we offer lighting control solutions that give you all the technical possibilities so you can concentrate on what's important - your show.
Perhaps you're touring the world, programming a stage performance for your theater, or controlling a live TV show for an audience of millions? Or are you looking for lighting control system for a house of worship, a film set or an architectural lighting installation? Regardless of the size of your project, MA products are the perfect solution for you!
We have been building professional lighting control systems since 1983. We have spent thousands of hours developing our hardware and software to make your working life easier. We also offer worldwide training to help you feel more confident using MA products so that you always stay up to date with the latest technical developments. And with our technical support, we won't leave you alone.
Especially nice is that you can also use a video from a video pool which can be an NDI Network Video feed -> you can watch whatever you want on there in desklock mode
HOORAY! This is gold! 1) I don't need a plugin to manage offsets 2) that slider thing should be known better amongst people, because it makes onPc workflow so much better! Thanks.
What is this "MA license" and software he is talking about? Can't seem to find anything online ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Wi0wEcMD2dQ.htmlsi=oyctTrOis2uU1Tqj&t=319
Hey tomcar9299 😊, there is a setting in your user profile for that. So if you go to Menu - User Configuration - Profile, you can change the Encoder UI Style to drag. Then you press into the small encoder symbol in your encoder bar, slide the finger away and you will see the slider. Hope that helps😊 .
Set "Encoder UI Style" to "Drag" in your User Profile settings. With this you drag on the encoder instead of doing a rotating motion. Holding the encoder reveals the slider.
Hey gomethrius, the showfile involved over 200,000 parameters of control across 682 DMX universes of output and 663 universes of Art-Net input from the Disguise video servers. If you want to read more about this, you can take a look at our article on our website 😊
Hey😊, thanks a lot for your question. You are right, the showfiles of big productions or shows in general are always very helpful and inspiring. But of course it is not our showfile and it is the same with intellectual property and copyright. What we will do a bit more in the future is to provide some videos where we can explain some things of these showfiles, of course always hand in hand with the programmers and designers who own their work.
It would be nice if there was a drop down in the appearance editor which can link to data in MA such as gels and other color objects. This way the rgb values of those objects can be directly linked to the appearance object like it was in ma2.
Hey Michael, thank you for your feedback. It is our idea to add this also to gMA3's Appearance Editor too! :) Perhaps in the mean time, you could already take advantage of transferring property values of one object to another? For example, if you want to set the "Image Color" of Appearance 1 to the "MA" Gel Color of "Cyan", you could use this: Set Appearance 1 Property "Color" At Gel "MA"."Cyan" ( or ) Set Appearance 1 Property "Color" At Gel 1.2
Hi Oscar, thanks a lot for your request! You can find the latest dot2 software in the download section of our website: www.malighting.com/downloads/products/dot2/ This is also the last version of dot2.
Hey Victor, the best idea would be to get in contact with Lite Tek and ask them for GDTF fixture types. Uploaded in the GDTF share, you can easily download them and use the library in the MA system.
Why that function is manual? If I update the present I want new value and attributes to be update in seq automatically. That is the main idea of preset based programming. In which case lighting designer will want miss a new updated attributes in seq?
Hey, there are some reasons. So one is for sure to avoid that several cues change without intention by the operator. So the whole functionality is something new in the MA philosophy, so people might not expect automatic changes. Also there could be reasons due to your programming structure. For example you work a lot with all presets for different purposes, but you dont necessarily use them all as references for your cues. At the end it is much about having different possibilities. We can definitely imagine an option in the future, to have this as an automatic function as well - so your wish for that makes absolute sense😊!
@MALightingInt From my programming experience, it’s more likely that when I store something new into a preset, I want it to be updated in my sequences. That’s the main idea of a preset-based show. Anyway, is it possible to request a function (button) that can activate manual/auto recast for the linked parameters? Also, I have an extra question. I’ve started using MA3 (onPC MAC) again and have already encountered a bunch of bugs. I’m definitely not happy with this, but I would still like to report them. How can I do that?
@@romarobot2452 Yes the request of course makes sense - we will have a look at that. Sorry that you have some trouble with the onPC….the best way to report your issues is to get in contact with your local distributor. They will be happy to help. Thank you so much for your feedback and reports, we really appreciate that!
Buenos Dias😊, thanks a lot for your feedback! Unfortunately the first words are the Spanish most of us can speak at MA😉 But without joking, we would wish for some more spanish content in the future, we are just looking how to do that.
@@MALightingInt It would be great to see videos in Spanish about the basic functions of the tables and so on, since those of us who have been working on shows for years without touching these tables find it difficult to try to understand them or learn how they work in order to continue growing in knowledge. Thank you for your response and I hope you have a good day ^^
Having a hard time making this work. In my source showfile I can see my Gobo presets attaching themselves to the Fixture Profile as an FT Preset. But then when i export the Fixture Profile and try to import the FT Presets into my new target showfile, the fixture itself dissapears and becomes unselectable as soon as I toggle from "Channel Sets" to "FT Presets". Have not been able to succesfully finish the process of importing.
Hey there, sorry to hear you have trouble with the import. Could you maybe send your showfile with a description to your local MA support? Think we need to have a closer look into this issue. Thanks for your feedback! 😊
Hey Jonathan, thanks for your message. To have this functionality for the phaser steps, is still work in progress. The workaround is to create a sequence with changing phase values. We are working on the bounce functionality to get it implemented in one of the next versions. 😊
Why is the syntax not Seq x Cue y Time z? Why would I ever type the time, then the cue, then the sequence? Is syntax for everything in MA3 backwards like this??
In Spanish?????? Plissssssss llevo buscando e intentando ver videos de MA en español porque enserio quiero aprender a entender el sistema, pero no encuentro mucho, espero me ayuden con un link en español o que MA me responda con un video en español
Btw, new version 2.0.2.0 doesnt download. Something wrong whit the site. While im still sitting 2.0.0.2 And my mvx fails dont convert properly. Can the 2.0.2.0 delete the 3d starting plane or atleest move it so it doesnt make problems for my work?
Hey! Thanks a lot for your feedback. I think we need to have a look at your issue more in detail. Could you please get in contact with your local MA distributor?
Hwy awesome upgrade! Can i after assigning the bitmap to some fixture then store it as a sequence like normal? Tried that and had some problems recalling it from a sequence later on...
