Introduction
Obey 10 User Manual 8 Rev. 5
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

3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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.

you were controlling 4 moving mirrors and 4 moving yokes, the color, gobo and dimmer 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.
