DMX
Addressing
The Obey™ 40 uses DMX addressing. The board controls lights with specific DMX addresses and
the lights must be addressed correctly for the board to control them.
More than one light can have the same DMX address, but lights with the same DMX address should
be the same type of light.
Below is a chart showing the Obey™ 40 DMX addresses ranges with their corresponding fixture
buttons.
DMX Addressing
Chart
Address Fixture Button
1–16 <FIXTURES 1>
17–32 <FIXTURES 2>
33–48 <FIXTURES 3>
49–64 <FIXTURES 4>
65–80 <FIXTURES 5>
81–96 <FIXTURES 6>
97–112 <FIXTURES 7>
113–128 <FIXTURES 8>
129–144 <FIXTURES 9>
145–160 <FIXTURES 10>
161–176 <FIXTURES 11>
177–192 <FIXTURES 12>
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>.
Faders and
Pages
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.
Fader DMX
Addresses
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.
