The Obey™ 40 (the board) is a small, yet compact and powerful controller with several playback modes. It can control up to 192 channels. These channels are arranged into 12 groups, which are accessed using the <FIXTURES> buttons. Each fixture contains 16 predetermined DMX channels. These 16 channels are broken down into 2 groups, which are accessed using <Page Select>. This allows 8 physical faders to control 16 channels.

The Obey™ 40 has openings for rack mounting into a standard 19-inch rack. It also has rubber feet so it can be placed on a table top.

The Obey™ 40 uses DMX addressing and values to control products. See DMX Addressing and

DMX Addressing Chart for information.

Looks are created by using the faders to send DMX values to the products. The looks are saved into scenes and the scenes are saved as steps into chases. The scenes and chases are played back at different speeds and with different types of triggers.

·Looks are created in Program mode. The products are selected with the fixture buttons. The faders are moved to control the products and create looks. Then the looks are saved to scenes with the scene buttons, and the scenes are saved to steps in chases with the chase buttons. See 4. Programming for more information.

·Scenes and chases are played back in Playback mode. The scenes are triggered with the scenes buttons and the chases are triggered with the chase buttons. Timing of playback is set with the speed and time faders, the tap-sync function, or MIDI input. See 5. Playback for more information.

The Obey™ 40 has an auto-ranging external power supply, that can work with an input voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. It runs on 9 VDC, 500 mA.

Before turning on the power, make sure the line voltage is within the range of accepted voltages as listed on the label affixed to the product or as described in Technical Specifications in this document.

The listed rating indicates average current draw under normal conditions.

·Always connect the board to a grounded circuit.

·Never connect the board to a rheostat or dimmer circuit.

To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.

The Obey™ 40 may be mounted in any position; make sure adequate ventilation is provided around the product.

In order to use the controller it must be connected to the products with DMX cables and the products must be addressed correctly. The sections below described DMX cabling and DMX addressing.

DMX cabling is required to get DMX values from the board to the products. Connect the DMX cable from DMX Out of the board to DMX In of the first product in the rig.

Then connect another DMX cable from DMX Out of the first product in the rig to DMX In of the next product.

Continue connecting until all the products are connected.

DMX Addressing

Chart

Faders and

Pages

Fader DMX

Addresses

After the products are addressed, the board controls them with the <FIXTURES> buttons. For example:

·Any product or products addressed at 49 are controlled with <FIXTURES 4>.

·Any product or products addressed at 145 are controlled with <FIXTURES 10>.

The Obey™ 40 has 8 channel faders on 2 fader pages for a total of 16 channels.

Faders control different DMX addresses depending on which page is active and which fixture button is pressed.

Pages are a method for controlling 16 channels with only 8 channel faders. Toggling between pages toggles between two DMX addresses for the fader. When Page A is active, the faders are numbered 1–8. When Page B is active, the faders are numbered 9–16.

The <Page Select> button toggles between active pages. The Page A and Page B LEDs indicate which page is active.

When Page A is active, the channel faders control the first 8 DMX addresses of the selected light.

When Page B is active, the channel faders control the second 8 DMX addresses of the selected light.

The default fader DMX addresses are determined by the combination of <FIXTURES> buttons and

Page A or Page B. For example:

·When <FIXTURES 1> is selected, the default DMX addresses of the channel faders are 1–16. DMX 1–8 when Page A is active and DMX 9–16 when Page B is active.

·When <FIXTURES 7> is selected, the default DMX addresses of the channel faders are 97–112. DMX 97–104 when Page A is active and DMX 105–112 when Page B is active.

When 2 fixture buttons are selected each fader has 2 different default DMX addresses. For example:

·When <FIXTURES 1> and <FIXTURES 7> are selected, channel fader 1 has DMX addresses of both 1 and 97.

Fader

Customizations

Creating A Fader

Assignment

Fader customizations are very powerful tools, but are not required. The Obey™ 40 can control a substantial lighting rig without any fader customization.

Fader customization is one of two things:

·Fader assignment which changes the default DMX address of a channel fader.

·Fader reversal which reverses the fader output.

Fader assignment changes the DMX address of a fader within a fixture button, so that 2 lights, assigned to different fixture buttons and with different DMX channel configurations can be controlled from a single channel fader. See Creating A Fader for more information.

Note: Refer to the products’ User Manuals for information about DMX channel configurations.

Fader reversal changes the order of the DMX values sent out as the channel fader moves. In normal mode a channel fader sends out a higher DMX value as it moves upward, sending out the value 0 at the bottom and 255 at the top. When a fader is reversed, it sends out the value 255 at the bottom and 0 at the top. See Creating A Fader Reversal for more information.

The fader LEDs indicate when a fader has been customized or reversed.

A fader assignment is when the default DMX address of a fader is changed. Fader assignment is a powerful tool that is helpful in certain situations, but it is not required.

The following instructions describe how to create a fader assignment for a specific fader, but fader assignments can be created for any fader within any fixture button.

To create a fader assignment and change the DMX address of <FIXTURES 2><Channel 7> from 7 to 5, do the following:

1.Press <Program> and <Tap Sync/Display> together to enter fader assignment customization.

2.Press <FIXTURES 2>.

3.Check that <FIXTURES 2> is the only fixture button selected and press any lit fixture buttons to deselect them.

4.Move the <Speed Time> fader until the 0707 shows in the LCD display.

5.Move the <Fade Time> until the 05 shows in the right side of the LCD display.

Note: The LCD display shows 0705 because 7 is the fader being customized, and 5 is the DMX address that will be assigned to fader 7.

6.Press <Midi/Add> to save the customization.

7.Move the <Speed Time> fader until the 0505 shows on the LCD display.

8.Move the <Fade Time> fader until 0516 shows on the LCD display.

9.Press <Midi/Add> to save the setting.

Note: Steps 7–9 reassign fader 5 to an unused DMX address, so that fader 5 and fader 7 are not both trying to send to DMX address 5.

10.Press <Program> and <Tap Sync/Display> together to exit fader assignment customization.

·Each channel fader within a fixture selection can send values to only one DMX address.

So if a fader’s default DMX address is reassigned, that fader must be given another DMX address.

·Custom fader assignments can only be removed by performing a soft reset. However resetting the board removes all other board customizations and programming. See Resetting The Board for more information.

Resetting The

Board

Fader assignments can be copied from one fixture button to another.

To copy the fader customization from <FIXTURES 2> to <FIXTURES 11> do the following:

1.Press <Program> and <Tap Sync/Display> together to enter fader assignment customization.

2.Press and hold <FIXTURES 2>.

3.Continue holding <FIXTURES 2>, and press and hold <FIXTURES 11>.

4.Continue holding <FIXTURES 2> and <FIXTURES 11> and press and hold <Midi/Add>.

5.Continue holding <FIXTURES 11> and <MIDDI/Add>, but release <FIXTURES 2>.

6.Continue holding <Midi/Add>, but release the <FIXTURES 11>.

7.Release <Midi/Add>.

8.Press <Program> and <Tap Sync/Display> together to exit fader assignment customization.

Copying a custom fader assignment will not copy a reverse fader.

A fader reversal is when the order of values sent by a fader is reversed. Instead of sending the highest value when the fader is up, a reversed fader sends the lowest value when the fader is up.

Fader reversals are a powerful tool, but they are not required.

The following instructions describe reversing a specific fader, but any fader, within any fixture button, can be reversed.

To reverse <Channel 12> on <FIXTURES 9>, do the following:

1.Press <Program> and <Tap Sync/Display> together 2 times to enter fader reversal customization.

2.Press the <FIXTURES 9>.

3.Move the <Speed Time> fader until 12 shows in the LCD display.

4.Move the <Fade Time> all the way up to activate fader reversal. The character to the right of 12 in the LCD display will change.

5.Press <Midi/Add> to save the setting.

6.Press <Program> and <Tap Sync/Display> together 2 times to exit fader reversal customization.

Resetting the board clears out all customizations and programming, and returns the board to its factory default settings. The board should be reset for new shows that require new customizations and configurations. Resetting the Board can be used to clear out odd behaviors after many customizations.

To reset the board, do the following:

1.Turn the board off.

2.Press and hold <Bank Up> and <Auto/Del> together.

3.While still pressing <Bank Up> and <Auto/Del>, turn the board on. The LCD display flashes to indicate a successful operation.

·Resetting the board erases all scenes, chases, and customizations.

·Resetting the board can take up to 30 seconds.

I. Programming

Lights

Program mode is used to program for playback. In Program mode lighting looks are created and saved for playback. There are three parts to programming for playback.

1.Programming lights: selecting and controlling them to create looks.

2.Programming scenes: saving the looks into scenes.

3.Programming chases: saving the scenes into chases.

The next section describes how to program lights, scenes, and chases, and how to modifying and delete scenes and chases.

Lights can be programmed in Playback mode, but the looks created in Playback mode cannot be saved.

To enter Program mode do the following:

1.Turn the board on.

2.Press and hold <Program> for three seconds.

3.The program indicator light, in the lower left corner of the LCD Display, comes on.

4.Release <Program>.

To exit Program mode, do the following:

1. Press and hold <Program> for three seconds.

2.The program indicator light, in the lower left corner of the LCD Display, goes out and the blackout indicator light goes on.

3.Release <Program>.

Blackout activates whenever the board exits Program mode. Blackout must be deactivated to see the lighting looks. See <Blackout> for more information.

Programming lights is controlling them with the faders to set colors, positions, and operating modes.

The result of controlling lights is a look.

Programming lights in Program mode and creating looks is the first part of programming for playback.

Playback is when the programmed looks are played back for a show. The looks are played back from scenes and chases. See 5. Playback for more information. Lights can be controlled in Playback mode, but looks created in Playback mode cannot be saved.

·Refer to the light’s user manual for information about the light’s DMX channel assignments. User Manuals for CHAUVET® products are on the Chauvet website at http://www.chauvetlighting.com/product-manuals-literature/.

·Programming for playback can only be done in Program mode.

·Fixture buttons are inclusive. More than one light can be selected at a time. Pay attention to the fixture button LEDs because they indicate which lights are selected.

·Two fixtures can be programmed at the same time, but they should have the same or DMX channel assignments.

·The instructions below use specific lights, scenes, banks, and chases, but the operations can be performed on any light, scene, bank, or chase.

II. Programming

Scenes

Creating A Scene

Programming scenes is saving lighting looks to scenes.

Programming scenes is the second part of the programming for playback. And it can be the last part because scenes can be played without being part of a chase. See Scene Playback for more information.

The Obey™ 40 has 30 banks with 8 scenes each, so saving a scene involves selecting the bank and the scene.

In scene playback, scenes are played back in number order, by bank. So when programming for scene playback, make sure the changes from scene 1 to scene 2 to scene 3 make sense.

Creating a scene is saving lighting look to scene button so the look can be played back in Playback mode. The general steps for creating a scene are as follows:

1.Enter Program mode.

2.Program lights to make a look. See Programming Two Products.

3.Use the bank buttons to select the bank into which the scene will be created. The LCD display shows the current bank just above the word Bank.

4.Save the look by pressing <Midi/Add> and then a scene button with in a bank.

5.Repeat steps 2–3 as needed for other looks and scenes.

6.Exit Program mode.

7.Reset faders to 0 and deactivate blackout.

Conceptos de

Programación

El Obey™ 40 utiliza asignación de direcciones y valores DMX para controlar los productos. Ver

Asignación de Direcciones DMX y Tabla de Asignación de Direcciones DMX para más información.

Los distintos diseños se crean usando los deslizadores para enviar valores DMX a los productos. Los diseños se guardan en escenas y las escenas se guaran como pasos dentro de secuencias. Las escenas y secuencias se reproducen a distintas velocidades y con distintos tipos de disparadores.

·Los diseños se crean en el modo Programa. Los productos se seleccionan con los botones de dispositivo. Los deslizadores se mueven para controlar los productos y crear diseños. Luego los diseños se guardan en escenas con los botones de escena, y las escenas se guardan en pasos de secuencias con los botones de secuencia.

Vea 4. Programación para más información.

·Las escenas y secuencias se reproducen en modo Reproducción. Las escenas se lanzan con los botones de escenas y las secuencias se lanzan con los botones de secuencia. El tempo de reproducción se configura con los deslizadores de velocidad y tiempo, la función de sincronización al toque o la entrada MIDI. Vea 5. Reproduccción para más información

Cableado DMX

Diagrama de Cableado DMX

El Obey™ 40 tiene una fuente de alimentación externa con detección automática (auto-rango) que puede funcionar con un rango de tensión de entrada de 100 a 240 VCA, 50/60 Hz. Funciona a 9 VCC, 500 mA.

Antes de encender la alimentación, asegúrese de que la tensión de la línea está dentro del rango admitido que aparece en la etiqueta unida al reproductor o descrita en las Especificaciones Técnicas de este documento.

La clasificación especificada indica el consumo de corriente promedio en condiciones normaless.

·Conecte siempre la mesa a un circuito con toma de tierra.

·Nunca conecte la mesa a un reostato o circuito de atenuación.

Para evitar un desgaste innecesario y alargar su vida útil, desconecte complemente el producto de la alimentación, mediante el interruptor o desenchufándolo, durante los periodos en los que no se use.

El Obey™ 40 se puede montar en cualquier posición; asegúrese de que existe una ventilación adecuada alrededor del producto.

Con el fin de usar el controlador, se debe conectar a los productos con cables DMX y se deben asignar correctamente direcciones a los productos. Las secciones siguientes describen el cableado DMX y la asignación de direcciones DMX.

El cableado DMX es necesario para que los productos obtengan valores DMX de la mesa. Conecte el cable DMX desde la salida DMX de la mesa a la entrada DMX del primer producto de la instalación.

Luego conecte otro cable DMX desde la salida DMX del primer producto de la instalación a la entrada DMX del siguiente producto.

Continúe conectando hasta que esté conectados todos los productos.

Asignación de Direcciones DMX

Deslizadores y

Páginas

El Obey™ 40 utiliza direcciones DMX. La mesa controla las luces con direcciones DMX específicas y estas direcciones han de asignarse correctamente a las luces para que la mesa las controle.

Más de una luz puede tener la misma dirección DMX, pero las luces con la misma dirección DMX tienen que ser el mismo tipo de luz.

Abajo aparece una tabla mostrando los rangos de direcciones DMX del Obey™ 40 con los correspondientes botones de dispositivo.

Tras haber asignado dirección a los productos, la mesa los controla con los botones <FIXTURES>.

Por ejemplo:

·Cualquier producto al que se haya asignado la dirección 49 se controla con <FIXTURES 4>.

·Cualquier producto al que se haya asignado la dirección 145 se controla con <FIXTURES 10>.

El Obey™ 40 tiene 8 deslizadores de canal con dos páginas por deslizador para un total de 16 canales.

Los deslizadores controlan diferentes direcciones DMX dependiendo de qué página esté activa y qué botón de dispositivo se pulse.

Las páginas son un método para controlar 16 canales con solo 8 deslizadores de canal. Al conmutar entre las páginas se conmuta entre dos direcciones DMX para el deslizador. Cuando la Página A está activa, los deslizadores quedan numerados 1–8. Cuando la Página B está activa, los deslizadores quedan numerados 9–16.

El botón <Page Select> conmuta entre páginas activas. Los LED de la Página A y Página B indican qué página está activa.

Cuando la Página A está activa, los deslizadores de canal controlan las 8 primeras direcciones DMX de la luz seleccionada.

Cuando la Página B está activa, los deslizadores de canal controlan las 8 últimas direcciones DMX de la luz seleccionada.

DMX del

Deslizador

Personalización

del Deslizador

Las direcciones DMX del deslizador por defecto las determina la combinación de los botones

<FIXTURES> y Página A o Página B. Por ejemplo:

·Cuando está seleccionado <FIXTURES 1> las direcciones DMX por defecto de los deslizadores de canal son 1–16. DMX 1–8 cuando está activa la Página A y DMX 9–16 cuando está activa la Página B.

·Cuando está seleccionado <FIXTURES 7> las direcciones DMX por defecto de los deslizadores de canal son 97–112. DMX 97–104 cuando está activa la Página A y DMX 105–112 cuando está activa la Página B.

Cuando se seleccionan 2 botones de dispositivo, cada deslizador tiene 2 direcciones DMX por defecto diferentes. Por ejemplo:

·Cuando están seleccionados <FIXTURES 1> y <FIXTURES 7> el deslizador de canal 1 tiene las direcciones DMX 1 y 97.

Las personalizaciones del deslizador son herramientas muy potentes, pero no son imprescindibles.

El Obey™ 40 puede controlar una instalación de luz considerable sin ninguna personalización de deslizadores.

La personalización de deslizadores puede ser una de estas dos:

·Asignación de deslizador, que cambia la dirección DMX por defecto de un deslizador de canal.

·Inversión de deslizador, que invierte la salida del deslizador.

La asignación de deslizador cambia la dirección DMX de un deslizador dentro de un botón de dispositivo, de modo que 2 luces, asignadas a distintos botones de dispositivo y con diferentes configuraciones de canal DMX, se pueden controlar desde un solo deslizador de canal. Vea Crear una Asignación de Deslizador para más información.

Nota: Consulte los Manuales de Usuario de los productos para información sobre las configuraciones de los canales DMX.

La inversión de deslizador cambia el orden de los valores DMX enviados cuando el deslizador de canal se mueve. En modo normal, un deslizador de canal envía un valor DMX más alto al moverse hacia arriba, enviando el valor 0 en la posición inferior y 255 en la superior. Cuando el deslizador se invierte, envía el valor 255 desde la parte inferior y 0 desde la superior. Vea Crear una Inversión del Deslizador para más información.

Los LED del deslizador indican cuándo se ha personalizado o invertido un deslizador.

Crear una

Asignación de Deslizador

Una asignación de deslizador se produce cuando la dirección DMX por defecto de un deslizador se cambia. La asignación de deslizador es una potente herramienta muy útil en ciertas situaciones, pero no es imprescindible.

Las siguientes instrucciones describen cómo crear una asignación de deslizador para un deslizador concreto, pero las asignaciones de deslizador se pueden crear para cualquier deslizador con cualquier botón de dispositivo.

Para crear una asignación de deslizador y cambiar la dirección DMX de <FIXTURES 2> <Channel 7> de 7 a 5, haga lo siguiente:

1.Pulse <Program> y <Tap Sync/Display> a la vez para entrar en la personalización de asignación del deslizador.

2.Pulse <FIXTURES 2>.

3.Compruebe que <FIXTURES 2> es el único botón de dispositivo seleccionado y pulse todos los botones de dispositivo encendidos para deseleccionarlos.

4.Mueva el deslizador <Speed Time> hasta que aparezca 0707 en la pantalla LCD.

5.Mueva el deslizador <Fade Time> hasta que aparezca 05 en el lado derecho de la pantalla LCD.

Nota: La pantalla LCD muestra 0705 porque el deslizador que se está personalizando es el 7, y 5 es la dirección DMX que se asignará al deslizador 7.

6.Pulse <Midi/Add> para guardar la personalización.

7.Mueva el deslizador <Speed Time> hasta que aparezca 0505 en la pantalla LCD.

8.Mueva el deslizador <Fade Time> hasta que aparezca 0516 en la pantalla LCD.

9.Pulse <Midi/Add> para guardar la configuración.

Nota: Los pasos 7–9 reasignan el deslizador 5 a una dirección DMX sin usar, con lo que ambos deslizadores, 5 y 7, no intentan enviar a la dirección DMX 5.

10.Pulse <Program> y <Tap Sync/Display> a la vez para salir de la personalización de asignación del deslizador.

·Cada deslizador de canal dentro de una selección de dispositivo puede enviar valores a una dirección DMX solamente. Así que, si se reasigna la dirección DMX por defecto de un deslizador, a ese deslizador se le debe dar otra dirección DMX.

·Las asignaciones personalizadas de deslizador solo se pueden quitar realizando un reinicio de software. Sin embargo, reiniciar la mesa quita todas las demás personalizaciones y programación de la mesa. Vea Reiniciar la Mesa para más información.
