Before Depence can use the Viz-Key to receive the DMX data from an MA-Net3 session, you need to install the Viz-Key driver and install the Viz-Key software, which is compatible with the version of the running grandMA3 software

Instructions

To install the Viz-Key driver or update the grandMA3 software connection. During the installation process, the Viz-Key needs to be unplugged.

  1. Download the grandMA3 Viz-Key package from https://www.malighting.com/downloads/products/grandma3/

  2. Download the needed grandMA3 software from https://www.malighting.com/downloads/products/grandma3/

  3. Install the grandMA3 software on your grandMA3 console or your computer

  4. Unzip the grandMA3_viz_key_vX.X.X.X.zip archive

    • When using a USB flash drive: Copy the ma folder into the root directory of your flash drive.

    • On Windows without a USB flash drive: Copy the content of the ma folder to this folder: C:\ProgramData\MALightingTechnology\installation_packages

  5. Launch Depence
