RemoteHID

The Remote HID feature lets you use local HID devices (typically a mouse and keyboard) to control other grandMA3 stations on the network, as if they were connected to the remote device.

A use case for this feature is controlling onPC stations used for visualization directly from a console. Instead of placing several mice and keyboards on the table, only one set of mouse and/or keyboard is needed.

	Restriction:
	It is not a remote desktop feature. The remote device’s display must be visible.

To control another station from the local console, follow these steps:

1. Enable RemoteHID in Menu - Network menu on the remote station.
2. Execute the RemoteHID command on the local station:

RemoteHID IP [remote_ip_address]

 - Or -

RemoteHID [remote_station_type] [“remote_hostname”]

3. Once the connection is established, the local station’s screen changes to olive green. During the connection, only the executors, including the 100mm faders and Go+[Large], Go-[Large], and Pause[Large] remain usable on the local station. All other elements are blocked.

The remote function can be ended using one of the following options:

• Press MA + MA + Off
• Use the keyboard shortcut Shift + Ctrl + Alt + E

Example

A pre-programming setup with a console and a powerful graphics computer running grandMA3 onPC, optimized for 3D visualization. They are connected in a session on a local LAN network.

The grandMA3 onPCs hostname is “3D,” and RemoteHID is enabled.

From the console, you need to change a setting in the 3D window of the grandMA3 onPC.

In the command line, type:

	User name[Fixture]>RemoteHID onPC “3D”

Now, the mouse and keyboard connected to the console can be used to operate the computer.

Finish the connection by pressing MA + MA + Off
