After Michael Keeling came out with the design that involved 280 Colorforce 72, we were trying to figure out the best way to control these.  They would be in 12 group RGB magic amber mode.  We decided that using a media server to pixel map them would give us the most options. We brought on Breckenridge Haggerty to be the media server programmer.  Breckenridge’s media server of choice is the GrandMA VPU.  Here is an article about him and the VPU.  I still wanted to be able to control them through the console as regular fixtures because sometimes it is easier to turn on a single light through selecting the fixture than it is using the media server to squeeze down a layer to exactly that size.  To do this, we merged the Artnet output from the VPU back into the GrandMA2.  From there, all the DMX data went out MA-Net2 to (4) GrandMA NPU’s.
