Connection with the grandMA desk

Please make sure, that the program version of the grandMA desk meets the specifications described in: Version of grandMA desk or grandMA onPC (off-line).

For communication you have to connect the VPU with the grandMA console or another PC running the grandMA2 onPC.

You can do this directly with a patch cable with two RJ-45 connectors or via a network switch.

If you use a network with a switch, connect the PC with a regular patch network cable to the switch.

  • Connect the cable to the desk.
  • Start the desk and load a video show
  • Start the grandMA application and join the session or invite the video application from the desk 

The application connects to the desk and receives the data of the current show. If you do not get a connection to the desk, make sure that grandMA VPU has the right IP address as described in ’IP Addresses’.
