MA NPU (Network Processing Unit) brings together the computing power of the network and offers the same speed as the CPU grandMA2 desks. It processes 4,096 parameters.
Thanks to the clear touchscreens MA NPU is easy to use. All important information is to see at a glance. With eight ports on the back XLR5pin DMX offers the MA NPU extremely wide range of applications in the network.
The MA NPU is the link between the Ethernet and DMX-controlled devices. In addition, with the MA NPU also solve other control tasks, with the best performance in the MA-Net2 is achieved.
For remote DMX networks converts the MA NPU incoming Ethernet data into DMX512-A data. This will be supported for the conversion of DMX data MA-Net2 and MA-Net. Eight independent DMX ports that can be configured either as a DMX DMX inputs and outputs specify the data.
In a network shared by several panels of the available MA NPU. This can be produced in a simple way to share DMX-enabled devices. Moreover, such a redundant operation without additional components such as DMX Merger possible.
Each NPU MA, which is connected to grandMA2 onPC, allowing the software to send "real" DMX data. This possibility of grandMA2 onPC a complete lighting control for up to 4,096 parameters.
MA Lighting
The company was founded in 1983 by Michael Adenau (MA) and enjoys strong growth from the very beginning until today. More than 10,000 MA control desks are being used all over
the world and MA´s digital dimming systems have become an industry standard.
The success accelerated in 1985, when software specialist Ernst Ebrecht joined MA Lighting as a partner. In this period MA
introduced the Lightcommander 24 and Lightcommander 48 control desks.
When launched in 1992 the MA Scancommander caused a huge stir in the burgeoning world of moving light control. This product established MA Lighting as a leading innovator of lighting control for the global touring and event sector. Leading producers of intelligent lighting showed great interest in MA's new operating philosophy, which radically differed from the historical "dimmer -oriented" control systems of that time.
In the spring of 1998 MA showed the world the eagerly awaited grandMA console. This hybrid lighting control console brought a new level of hardware sophistication to the lighting world. The full color touch screens, motorized faders, built in UPS (uninterruptible power supply) and hard drive were only the beginning.
The summer of 2000 saw the launch of a host of new products from MA, the grandMA light, the grandMA replay unit and the grandMA offline editor. In the autumn of 2001, the grandMA range will be completed with the introduction of the grandMA ultra-light. The ultra-light has 1,024 channels but retains the main features of a grandMA at a very competitive price.
Today, MA Lighting are well known for their technical know-how and have achieved an unique international reputation for its operational philosophy. MA´s award-winning products are extremely reliable and offer cutting-edge solutions for
dimming and control.
Organizational Structure
This story of success is strongly based on the teamwork between MA and Lightpower. Lightpower, located in Paderborn, is handling the international distribution of MA products since 1987. The two companies work very closely together and, through their respective roles, have made each other stronger. Production, and research & development are located in MA´s modern
headquarters in Waldbuettelbrunn. For marketing, sales and technical support Lightpower has founded a new subsidiary: MA Lighting International. All of these activities are coordinated in their Paderborn facilities.
