DMX Channel
A single DMX Channel has a value between 0 and 255.

DMX Universe
A DMX Universe contains 512 DMX channels.

Dual Encoder
The five dual encoders on a console or a command wing are used to adjust the different attributes of the fixtures or other functions. For more information, see Dual Encoders.

E

Encoder Bar
Displays the attributes or functions linked to the encoders and includes shortcuts for quick access to a selection of user profile settings and programming tools. For more information, see Encoder Bar.

Executors
Executors (Exec) are physical keys, knobs, and faders on the grandMA3 hardware. They can also be represented as on-screen virtual executors. For more information, see Executors.

Extension
Allows to extend the amount of physical executor handles for specific grandMA3 products. For more information, see Connect grandMA3 extension.

 

F

Fader Wing
An additional fader for the grandMA3 onPC system. For more information, see grandMA3 onPC fader wing.

Fixture
A complete lighting unit including at least a housing and a lamp.

Fixture Type
Fixture types are used to visualize and control real-life fixtures on stage. For more information, see Fixture Types.

fps - frames per second

G

GB - Gigabyte

GDTF - General Device Type Format
Is a file format used to describe devices. For information about GDTF, see GDTF Share.

GlobalMaster
This is the session master station in all networked systems. For more information, see Locally Networked Devices.

GPI - General Purpose Interface

Grand Master
Is used to limit the output of the intensity of all the fixtures patched in a show. For more information, see Grand Master.

Groups
Groups contain a selection of fixtures. This includes the order and grid position of the selection. This can be used as a programming tool, where it is a fast way to select the fixtures. For more information about Groups, see Groups.
