The grandMA3 consoles control a wide range of lighting genres, including conventional lights, moving lights, LEDs, video, and media, via DMX signals or within a network environment.

All grandMA3 components, regardless of hardware, use the same software. For a general overview of grandMA3 hardware, see  <https://www.malighting.com/grandma3/products>.

All components are fully integrable into the network environment.

This topic describes the different sections of the grandMA3 consoles.

These sections vary from model to model.

The flagship of the grandMA3 range is the full-size or full-size CRV, respectively.

The control room version (CRV) of the full-size and light models is without the monitor wing but includes additional external monitor ports.

The grandMA3 light console or the light CRV are the workhorses of the range.

The compact and compact XT models offer the full system benefits in a compact and lightweight format.

The grandMA3 consoles number their screens in a specific order, for more information see [Screen Allocation](/grandma3/2-4/do_screen_allocation/).

You can connect several external touch screens to a console, see [Connect External Screens](/grandma3/2-4/fs_connect_external_screens/).

The display elements of the screens can be modified, see [Configuration of Displays](/grandma3/2-4/ws_ui_display_configuration/).
