There are several ways to remote control grandMA2.

This section describes them.

There is a [Remote Input](/grandma2/key_remote_control_input/) part in the setup that allows simple DMX, Contact Closure and MIDI notes to trigger actions.

A more complex method is to use [MIDI Show Control - MSC](/grandma2/key_remote_control_msc/). This can be used to trigger cues, macros, control faders, and turn off executors.

There is a description of the [Web Remote](/grandma2/key_remote_control_web_remote/) - a browser interface that allows control and visualization of information - fixture and cue feedback.

The [Telnet](/grandma2/key_remote_control_telnet/) connection allows the execution of any command in grandMA2. This can be very useful with 3rd party controllers - for instance a house control system.

 

Finally this section also has a very useful [Decimal, Hex, ASCII conversion table](/grandma2/key_remote_control_hex_table/).
