Willie Bothma
A big congratulations to Willie Bothma, a lighting design freelancer from Cape Town, who has purchased a grandMA3 onPC 2Port Node DIN-Rail 2k! DWR Distribution was thrilled to play a role in his journey which in recent time has focussed on film work.
When asked about his decision to choose the grandMA3 onPC 2Port Node DIN-Rail 2k, Willie expressed the need for a versatile solution that could cater for smaller setups while seamlessly integrating into larger networks. It was important that the unit could function in both MA2 or MA3 mode. “I like the fact that it gives me parameters on MA3 and MA2 and that I can power it over POE,” Willie commented. To make life even easier, he has built the node into a case to create a compact OnPC desk, allowing quick set up.
Johnny Scholtz, who represents DWR Cape Town, is a longstanding friend of Willie. “I’ve known Willie since the early days of my career. We go way back and worked in the trenches at MJ Event Gear for a long time! It’s amazing to see him grow his own business, and find a niche in film industry.”
The grandMA3 onPC 2Port Node DIN-Rail 2k fits is a great solution and can be found in diverse settings such as TV studios, houses of worship, and various other installations. Despite its smaller size and affordability, the software mirrors the feature of the larger MA Lighting consoles, ensuring a seamless user experience without compromising on features. The node offers two DMX outputs via 3-pin PCB connectors, offering a staggering 4,096 parameters. They are fully RDM compliant and feature a convenient 3.9″ colour display on the front for effortless configuration and status monitoring.
