Programmer Chris Herman selected 2 x grandMA2 light – one main and one back up – and 2 x MA NPU (Network Processing Unit) to run conventional and moving lights as well as the wind, fog, snow and fire effects [...] grandMA2 feeds Art-Net directly out to PRG’s Series 400 system, which eliminates the need for DMX a/b switches and other failure points,” he says. Herman notes that, “the grandMA2 range is very versatile; its [...] “fantastic” and Binkley agrees. “The grandMA2 has been splendid with all of the different layers of networking and cue stacks that we’ve had in this show,” Binkley says. “Almost every department has cues triggering
