Advanced Show Control

GrandMA2 + ShowTime Player

A professional bridge for lighting control via Telnet & MTC. Full synchronization, maximum control.

Core Workflow

Timeline Mastery

ShowTime Player allows you to integrate console control directly into the structure of your music track.

  • Direct Workflow: Drag & Drop executors and global commands onto the timeline.
  • Flexible Tuning: Time parameters (Fade, Delay) adjustable in a single click.
  • Smart Scenarios: Create action chains via LUA (e.g., Blind Mode → Timecode Start → Alert Message).

Preview Tool

LiveView Feature

Preview scenes before fixing them on the timeline. Save time on programming and avoid mistakes.

  • Instant Response: Click the indicator next to an executor for an immediate preview.
  • Visual Fidelity: 100% match to how the scene will look in the actual show.
  • Safe Testing: Check presets "blindly" without risking the active show output.

Intensity Control

Full control over brightness and transition smoothness without needing to switch to the console.

  • Precision Input: Adjust values via mouse wheel or direct digital input.
  • Fade FX: Automatic generation of smooth Fade In/Out transitions.
  • Real-time Feedback: Virtual player faders display actual Dimmer values from the console.

  • Smart Queue: Program sequencing ("alternation") on every kick drum.
  • Delay: Adjust the trigger activation delay time.

Automatic synchronization via BPM
Scripting Core

LUA: Limitless Logic

Go beyond standard functions. Write scripts that control the entire venue infrastructure.

  • Full Control: Access all player and console functions via code.
  • Show Flow: Scripts for show open/close (light + sound + video with one button).
  • Interactive: Trigger jingles and alerts based on console conditions.
