Nikolaus Einhauser Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 The GDTF Spec mentions in Table 59 that each LogicalChannel has a "Master" associated with it. The possible values are "None", "Grand" and "Group". It never clarifies how "Grand" is different from "Group" and how exactly those should behave. What is the intent here? Is each lighting desk supposed to interpret their behavior themselves? Thanks for any clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petr Vanek - Robe Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Hello @Nikolaus Einhauser, the "Grand" is meant as a "Grand master", the "Group" would be a submaster - if the console supports such a concept, and yes, it would interpret it based on the behavior it offers.

Nikolaus Einhauser Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 Thanks for the clarification. I guess that concept doesn't really translate well to MA3 then, because they handle it completely differently. I also struggle to see why this distinction would need to make in the fixture type. Since I only have MA3 at my disposal and they seem to treat group and grand the same, is there a universal recommendation for other control systems?

dmueller Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Hi Nikolaus, Unfortunately there is a bug in grandMA3 that causes Master set to 'Grand' and 'Group' to behave in the same way. In grandMA3, a logical channel with master 'Group' should not react to the grand master. With 'Grand', however, both a group master and the grand master should have an effect.
