Beyond

[Yash Velguenkar]

I wanted to know whether we can connect Beyond Essentials to Grand MA3 with Artnet connection. and also what are the advantages of having ultimate over essentials in this particular scenario? Thanks!

BEYOND essentials accepts art-net in. I suspect that you probably want to use "dmx server" function. Then you need Advanced. You can compare versions here : https://pangolin.com/pages/compare

DMX server allows you to do this : https://wiki.pangolin.com/doku.php?id=beyond:dmx_server

OKay sir, does this mean we need a advance or ultimate license for beyond in order to connect beyond with the GrandMA 2 or Grand MA3 lighting console?

 

[Bob@Pangolin]

You need ther FB4 controllers; those can be controlled by a console directly or BEYOND advanced for the dmx server mode.

Sir, i have fb4 controllers built in my lasers. I just wanted to know whether beyond essentials license supports connectivity with the Grand MA lighting console via art net ethernet port. or do i need advanced or ultimate license to do so.

If you want gm to control BEYOND DMX server, then you need BEYOND advanced or Ultimate.
