Introduction

Common Terms

The following are common terms used in intelligent light programming.

§ Blackout is a state where all lighting fixtures’ light output are set to 0 or off, usually on a

temporary basis.

§ DMX-512 is an industry standard digital communication protocol used in entertainment lighting

equipment. For more information read Sections “DMX Primer” and “DMX Control Mode” in the Appendix.

§ Fixture refers to your lighting instrument or other device such as a fogger or dimmer which you

can control.

§ Programs are a bunch of scenes stacked one after another. It can be programmed as either a

single scene or multiple scenes in sequence.

§ Scenes are static lighting states.

§ Sliders are also known as faders.

§ Chases can also be called programs. A chase consists of a bunch of scenes stacked one after

another.

§ Scanner refers to a lighting instrument with a pan and tilt mirror; however DMX controllers can

use this term to control any DMX-512 compatible device as a generic fixture.

§ MIDI is a standard for representing musical information in a digital format. A MIDI input would

provide external triggering of scenes using midi device such as a midi keyboard.

§ Standalone refers to a fixture’s ability to function independently of an external controller and

usually in sync to music, due to a built in microphone.

§ Fade slider is used to adjust the time between scenes within a chase.

§ Speed slider affects the amount of time a scene will hold its state. It is also considered a wait

time.

§ Shutter is a mechanical device in the lighting fixture that allows you to block the lights path. It is

often used to lessen the intensity of the light output and to strobe.

§ Patching refers to the process of assigning faders to a DMX channel within a fixture.

§ Playbacks can be either scenes or chases that are directly called to execution by the user. A

playback can also be considered program memory that can be recalled during a show

Setup

Setting up the System

1) Place the Obey™ 10 on a level surface.

Note! The Obey™ 10 can also be rack mounted, occupying two rack spaces (2U).

2) Plug the AC to DC power supply into the system back panel and into the mains outlet.

3) Plug in your DMX cable(s) to your intelligent lighting as described in the respective fixture’s

manual. For a quick overview of DMX see the “DMX Primer” section.

4) Reset the system using the instructions on page 9.

Fixture Addressing

The Obey™ 10 is programmed to control 16 channels of DMX per fixture. Therefore, the fixtures you wish to control with the corresponding “FIXTURE” buttons on the unit must be spaced 16 channels apart (check the respective fixture’s manual for how to enter the information into the fixture).

Note: failure to use these DMX assignments may cause a lack of control of the fixtures.

Physical Fader Assignment (OPTIONAL SETUP)

Use this feature to combine or unify fixture control attributes for different fixtures. For exampl e; if you were controlling 4 moving mirrors and 4 movi ng yok es, the c ol or, gobo and dim mer channels may not line up ideally on the physical faders . Use this function to re-assign the dimmer, color and gobo channels to faders 1, 2 and 3. From now on you will be able to control the same attributes on all fixtures using the same fader location.

1) Press and hold PROGRAM & STEP/DIS

buttons together (1) time to access the channel assignment mode.

2) Press a FIXTURE button that represents

the fixture whose faders you would like to re-assign.

3) Move the SPEED fader until you arrive at

controller channel (number).

4) Move the FADE TIME fader to select the

DMX channel that you wish to move to.

5) Press the MUSIC/ADD button to confirm

setting. All FIXTURES LED indicators will flash to confirm successful copy.

6) Repeat steps 3 ~ 5 as often as necessary. If you wish to copy a scanner’s physical

assignments to another scanner, continue by following steps 7-13. If you do not wish to do this, press PROGRAM and Step/Dis buttons twice to exit the mode.

Example:

Scanner 2

1) Press and hold FIXTURE button # 1.

2) While holding button # 1 press FIXTURE

button # 2.

3) While holding FIXTURE buttons # 1 and #

2, press and hold MUSIC/ADD button.

4) Release SCANNER button # 1 first before

releasing SCANNER button # 2.

5) Release MUSIC/ADD button.

6) All FIXTURES LED indicators will flash to

confirm successful copy.

7) Press and hold PROGRAM & STEP/DIS

buttons (2) times to exit mode.

All physical faders can be re-assigned to output on a different DMX channel. Faders are given a channel number and are labeled on the surface of the controller as suc h.

Introducción

Términos comunes

Los siguientes son términos comunes que se usan en la programación de luz inteligente.

§ Blackout es un estado en el que todos los aparatos de iluminación quedan configurados a 0 o

apagados, por lo general de forma temporal.

§ DMX-512 es un prot ocolo de comunicaci ón digital estándar industrial que se usa en los equipos

de iluminación para el espectáculo. Para más información, lea las secciones "Manual DMX" y "Modo de control DMX" en el apéndice.

§ Aparato se refi ere a su instrumento de il uminac i ón u otro dispositivo, c om o una máquina de

niebla o atenuador que usted pueda controlar.

§ Programas son un conjunto de escenas apiladas una detrás de la otra. Se puede programar

como una sola escena o como varias escenas en secuencia.

§ Escenas son estados de ilumi nación estáticos.

§ Deslizadores conocidos también como faders.

§ Las secuencias se pueden llamar también programas. Una secuencia se compone de un

conjunto de escenas apiladas una detrás de la otra.

§ Escáner hac e referenc i a a un instrumento de iluminación con un espejo panorámico y de

inclinación; sin embargo, los controladores DMX pueden utilizar este término para controlar cualquier dispositivo compatible con DMX como aparato genérico.

§ MIDI es un estándar para representar información musical en un formato digital. Una entrada

MIDI proporciona la activación externa de escenas usando un dispositivo midi, como un teclado midi.

§ Independiente indica la capacidad de un aparato de funcionar de forma aislada de un

controlador externo y normalmente sincronizado con la música gracias a un micrófono integrado.

§ El desli zador de fade s e usa para ajustar el tiempo entre escenas dentro de una secuencia.

§ El desli zador de velocidad afecta a la cantidad de tiempo que una escena mantiene su estado.

También se considera un tiempo de espera.

§ Obturador (o shutter) es un dispositivo mecánico en el aparato de iluminación que le permite

bloquear la emisión de luz. Se usa para disminuir la intensidad de la emisión de luz y para luz estroboscópica.

§ Interconexionado se refiere al proceso de asignar faders a un canal DMX dentro de un aparato.

§ Reproducciones pueden ser escenas o secuencias que el usuario ha seleccionado

directamente para su ejecución. Una reproducción se pueden considerar también una memoria de programa que se puede recuperar durante un show
