Description

This module serves as a seamless interface between grandMA2 and PIXERA. PIXERA listens to the selected executor and automatically triggers all cues that exist both in the grandMA2 sequence and in PIXERA.

Procedure
 

When the GrandMA2MSC plugin is dragged into the control workspace, these are the default settings

1. Port: 6004 → this should not be changed unless it has been changed in the MIDI Show Control
2. Adapter IP → The network adapter on which the MA-Net is connected must be selected here
3. Timeline → Here you can select the timeline to be controlled via the drop-down menu
4. Executor → Enter the executor and page where the sequence controlling the timeline is located. The first number is the Exec
   and the second number the page.
    

In the next step, open the Config drop-down menu.
 

Once the Config window is open, configure PIXERA and grandMA2 to establish the connection. Ensure that all six parameters are set identically in both PIXERA and grandMA2 to guarantee proper communication. In step 7 on the grandMA2, activate MSC Show Control over Ethernet.
 

If the configuration is finished, we configure the adapter IP (point 1) to the MA-Net network adapter.
In point 2, we select the timeline that we want to control via the grandMA.
In point 3, we configure the executor that sends the command to trigger the timeline.
It’s important to note that the first number refers to the executor number, and the second number after the dot refers to the page number (exec.page).
 

Warning

If you have selected Default Only in the Exec drop-down menu, PIXERA will react to all executors.
This means that if Executor 1 contains CUE 10, CUE 20, and CUE 30, and Executor 2 has the same CUEs, PIXERA will react to both executors when these CUEs are triggered.
 

 

Workflow control of multiple timelines

To control multiple timelines via the grandMA, a separate GrandMA2MSC module must be created and configured for each timeline.
It is also possible to control different timelines from different executors; in this case, each module has to be configured accordingly.
In this short video, we have configured all modules to control all timelines from Executor 1.1
 

Log Cues

For a better overview of whether the communication between grandMA and PIXERA is working, the CUEs can be displayed in the log window by enabling the “Log Cues” option in the menu.

Mute/Unmute Function

When you don’t want to be disturbed during programming, or if Live Preview Editing is unavailable due to using a Player license, you can mute and unmute the module to ensure that PIXERA does not respond to the grandMA.
