| Purpose |
This worksheet documents the function of each channel for each fixture.
|
| Architecture |
Each Chauvet Obey 40 fixture has sixteen DMX channels divided into
Page A (channels 1-8) and Page B (channels 9-16). Channels can be patched,
and reversed.
|
| Printing |
For best results, set printer to only print page one unless you need copies of
these instructions. |
| Event |
This block can be used to describe the event. |
| Start Date |
This block can be used to indicate date when fixtures need to be ready. |
| End Date |
This block can be used to indicate date when fixtures will be available for the next event. |
| Fixture Type |
Specify what type of device is physically mapped to this fixture. |
| Universe |
DMX is divided into universes of 512 channels. Indicate which universe this controller
is managing.
|
| DMX Assignment |
Specifies the starting DMX address for this fixture. In the chart below, mark unused
channels 'N/A'. While it might be possible to "stack" more than one device on a fixture
it isn't practical in operation.
|
| Fixture Assignment |
Specify the which controller fixture the fixture is assigned to.
|
| Function |
Specify the control function for this channel. You can also annotate additional
useful information e.g. 0-20 off, 21-127 forward rot, 128-255 reverse rot. as
desired
|
| CR |
Channel Reverse: Reversing can be used to make fixture actions more convenient so that
0 becomes 255 and 255 becomes 0. Leave blank or mark 'N' to indicate normal fader direction
or mark 'Y' to indicate reversed fader direction.
|
| CP |
Channel Patch: Some fixtures may have features on different channels form
others, for example Gobo on 6 on one type, but on 7 on another. Patching allows
the operator to reassign channel 6 to 7 and 7 to 6 in order to line them up. Note
that the value to be entered is the actual DMX address to be patched.
