    Nice work Matt! Would be great to continue this DMX series with more training videos... programming the Gig Bars, etc., moving heads, software options, setting up shows, how to do multiple Universes, etc. Let's keep Matt busy!

    Exellent video! I really enjoyed the explanation of the mailman and the people in the house. I am doing a pretty advanced system with 6 lights and a Yorkville Orion controller. Your video is the perfect basic information. I was able to get my Orcan4 PAR up and running in 20 minutes on the rack and even programmed my first strobe scene. Thank you so much, Matt!!

  • @d.j.2nz952

    The obey 10 has 16 channels per fixture and they're split between A & B. If you wanted to align these lights you would start them all at the beginning of the corresponding channels starting #.Channel 1 begins with 1,2 is 17,3 is33 4 is 49 and so on. Therefore the first one on1 and the second on 17 lines their channels up and they would both be controlled with 1 to 6.

    Lighting has undergone a huge upgrade from years past. This DMX stuff is making it almost idiot proof. Lighting is not given enough credit for its impact on live shows, music videos, TH-cam streaming or just a general video like this one, a product presentation.

  • @BetaRecords
    @BetaRecords 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thank you so much! I was breaking my brain so much about how the connection of the lights would be.. with most of the ‘cheaper’ controllers having just 1 (or maybe 2) DMX outputs..
    Thinking in a audio kinda perspective I did not understand how that would be possible if you would have multiple lights and different type of lights
    So daisy chain it is! (I should have known because it’s digital.. but now I’m shure! 😊)
    Lots of thanks!

    So if the next fixture starts at 7, why is the first one at channel 6 rather than channel 1?

    • @thewhitefalcon8539
      @thewhitefalcon8539 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

  • @kirilllordski3398
    @kirilllordski3398 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very new to this... 10 mins new to be exact.
    Question: If I want to have all the lights doing the same thing, do I program them all to just one Chanel?

    • @leapfrogpartyplannersllc3348
      @leapfrogpartyplannersllc3348 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes you would set them to all be on the same dmx address

    • @thewhitefalcon8539
      @thewhitefalcon8539 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You can either program them all to the same channel or send identical data on all channels (in case you might want to make them do something different eventually)

    So if we have a bunch of identical fixtures and we want them all to have identical signals going to them can we just set them all to the same channel?

    • @sweetwater
      @sweetwater  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for the question, anonony9081! That is correct! If you want all your Pars to be the same color, to fade at the same time, etc, you can absolutely assign them to the same DMX channel. I do this with my set-up to save me time!
      I'd love to chat DMX if you need more help, just give me a shout!

    • @gavingunnells2444
      @gavingunnells2444 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Set at channel one, with a 6-address footprint. I think he meant to say that the fixture ended at address six, so therefore the next fixture had to be patched at the next available address in the universe.

  • @honeyken316
    @honeyken316 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    All of this digital control may become erratic if you do not TERMINATE the cable at the last fixture in the chain. Microphone cable distorts the data signals but unterminated lines are a disaster by reducing reliability caused by reflections of the signal within the cable.

      the DMX is just a control signal, the light also needs electricity to work
