At this year’s Prolight and Sound Frankfurt exhibition MA Lighting dedicates a whole
booth to its dot2 lighting control solution and features new software release version
1.2, driving the success story of MA newest product range. Multiple hands-on dot2
console stations will be available for users to familiarise themselves with the new
software. MA’s product specialist will be available to answer questions or guide you
through the latest feature set.

Software version 1.2 adds lots of detail with respect to the overall workflow and
makes the user experience even more intuitive.

Customizable layout views, mutli-patch for fixtures including dot2 3D, assignable
DMX ports, Auto-Backup functionality, Effect Markers, Effect improvements and lots
of other enhancements are now included. Come along and see the latest additions
for yourself.

Intuitive operation is the core of the dot2 philosophy and with a comprehensive set
of connectivity hardware on all console models, the dot2 range is suitable for most
theatre, touring, corporate, television and education lighting environments. The
easy to operate dot2 software is available in multiple languages and provides on
board Help and Direct Hints to guide a new user to operate the console to its full
potential. A full range of clever programming and playback features provide
intuitive access to advanced functionality. All information about the dot2 range can
be found at the dot2 website: www.ma-
dot2.com.

Another adjacent booth of MA Lighting is dedicated to MA’s flag-ship lighting control
range; grandMA2. A pre-release of the upcoming software candidate version 3.2 will
be on display. Main features are RDM with MA Nodes, Bitmap Effects, Internal
Timecode Generator, full implementation of Web Remote, Workflow Improvements,
MA 3D improvements, MA Network Switch integration as well as a full new Codec
implementation for the MA VPU and new Pixelmapper Playback Priorities.

Another highlight this year will be the brand new MA Network Switch, which
radically reduces the setup time and the level of complexity to achieve an optimised
lighting network. In combination with the MA consoles and additional MA networking
devices the MA Network Switch provides a very easy to use solution, even for
complex lighting systems, incorporating the hardware and software stability MA
Lighting is famous for. MA Lighting’s team of product specialists will be on site to
answer all questions and to show all of MA’s system components in depth.
