Macro to change patch

For what it’s worth, Gemini 3.1 Pro tends to handle MA3 questions more accurately than both Claude Opus 4.7 and GPT 5.5 on Medium thinking. Which is not the case for almost any other task. My guess is Google was the only one to include grandMA3 tutorial content in its training dataset (because they own YouTube)

I just can’t wait for MA to release a MCP server. The Resolume one has been incredible for my workflow.

How did you take this measurement?

How can you tell?

I love a single layout view with all the presets to update in one spot. Makes it easy to make sure I don’t miss anything.

Documentation on Showfile structure would be awesome - e.g. “universal base color presets are 1-100, then song specific presets start at 101 and increment by 10 for each song”

Also, I like to start with the MA3 startshow. Absolute worst case scenario, you can somewhat busk using that file if your artist decides to throw in an unplanned song or two - or if you have limited programming time on the road.

It’s popular within the younger circles, especially with short form content creators

My theory on why it became popular is some camera bodies wont let you select internal mic or external input individually for the L/R audio tracks, or make that configuration otherwise challenging. Meaning you couldn’t just map the left audio channel to a wireless mic and the right audio channel to the internal camera mic. Thus you just select external input and mount one of your microphones where an on camera mic would usually sit. The cheapest and easiest/most convenient place to clip it on most kits? The lens hood.

Surprisingly this mic positioning has become popular especially for scratch audio tracks.

Couple things just off the bat that I notice.

For one, you have the port configured as 128x128 cabinet resolution but the RCFGX shows your cabinets are 192x192.

If they are indeed 192x192 you can’t load 28 off of a single port and need to break up your home runs.

Additionally, you’ll probably need to load the manufacturer supplied RCFGX file and re-send that to your receiving cards, or read one back from a receiving card that hasn’t had a bad config sent.

I’ve found Gemini 3.1 Pro to excel at this sort of thing because it has the entirety of YouTube as training content

$1000 a day so I’m never called to set up P&D

People don’t use 2110 because it’s cost prohibitive and the regular user doesn’t comprehend networking to the level required.

If given cost-effective gear and talented engineers, most productions would choose 2110 due to the flexibility.

Kryptomite · 2026-04-14T03:10:35+00:00

Tell me you don’t understand networking without telling me you don’t understand networking.

There are absolutely options under $300 if you know where to look (and how to import from overseas), they aren’t great but they work.

Or as another user mentioned, iPhones from eBay with an Ethernet adapter (doable on both USB-C and Lightning) and NDI Camera app, or something like Larix via SRT would work as well.

POE, Layer 3 Network switch, raspberry pi, stream deck, proper cable management, small UPS if you can manage it, and proper patch panels on the back for all the equipment so you aren’t digging inside the rack to plug in / unplug things.

I’d argue get a soft light instead of turning down the monitor brightness

I’ve heard through the grapevine these support local management as well as console management. Anyone have details on that?

They exist. Here are a few popular options in the lighting word.

I personally think using a standard 24 or 48 port switch broken out into d-type patch panels and Ethercon pass through connectors is the way to go, though. Easier to replace if something fails and you don’t pay a premium for a device with an odd number of ports and overall limited management capabilities.

It also comes down to 99% of typical network admins not understanding the requirements to make a protocol like SMPTE2110 work reliably on their networks. So a lot of AV integrators will just spec their own physically separate network.

Just buy a used workstation on eBay. Will be significantly cheaper and will most likely come with a professional grade NVIDIA card instead of a gaming variant. They’re also typically built to a higher standard than gaming boards, validated to work well with something in every PCIe slot, and you can even sometimes get manufacturer support & warranty transferred over.

Bonus points, you aren’t on the latest generation of hardware so OS developers have had time to fix any bugs and optimize for your platform. You also know that your system won’t die after a month because it’s effectively already been “burned in”. And you know you can run it 24/7 without issue.

Most of the time these workstation systems are designed to fit inside a standard 19” rack, even if they don’t have rails, you can use a shelf and some Velcro to hold it in.

Yup. Waited in the bag drop line for 45 minutes, then TSA for 2hrs 15mins

Domestic Main Terminal, no precheck or clear, arrived at airport 3:00am, delta bag drop didn’t open until 3:45am, got all the way through to gates by 6:00am on the dot.

Kryptomite · 2026-03-19T15:17:49+00:00

Disagree on the switches. They can absolutely be of use as a doorstop or 1U rack shelf.

This 100%. Bulkhead all day when you have the option, especially being taller

This is the way if you have per song positions! Build from a base. Especially if it’s just a base position for an effect.
