What about preprograming and parameters?
The show can be preprogramed and MA 3D can be used without any parameter unlocking hardware. The lights are
still visualized.
But if 3-party visualizers are used, then the hardware might be needed to give access to the parameters.
MA Lighting is working with many visualizer manufactures to allow them to read the DMX data without hardware.

4.4. Parameter expansion
This page is a closer look at how many parameters can be controlled and how it can be expanded. At the bottom of
this page there is a link to a page that explains the difference between "Parameter" and "DMX universe". If you have
any doubts in this area, you should take the time to read it.
