Introduction Introduction This Manual The ORB Lighting Desk This manual describes the operation of the ORB lighting desk. This chapter contains an overview of the capabilities and controls of the ORB. The following section is a summary of the main functions of the ORB lighting desk. The Quick Start Tutorial chapter is designed to get you up and running with the desk, but is not a substitute for the whole manual.
Introduction Control Channels The desk has 2048 channels of control. These can be assigned and patched as any number of Fixtures, across the 4 DMX universes on the desk. Fixtures Every device controlled by ORB is known as a Fixture. Fixtures can be a simple generic dimmer channel, or a complex DMX device such as a colour scroller, moving mirror or moving head (eg VL3000, MAC 700). Any item controllable via a DMX signal can be assigned as a fixture on ORB.
Introduction When a channel is owned, the programmed value (or series of values, if it is defined as a chase or effect) is output. However, the previous owner(s) are not forgotten, and go into in a history list. When a cue is released, it loses it's places in the history, whether it currently owns them or not. The most recent owner in the history will then regain ownership, and hence control the output of that channel.
Introduction Front Panel Controls This section of the manual describes the controls and displays on the front panel of the ORB desk. The front panel controls have been divided into the following sections: User Definable Keys (UDKs) (Page 14) Playbacks (Page 11) Master Playbacks (Page 13) Function Keypad (Page 12) Keypad & Syntax Keys (Page 13) Grand Master and Blackout (Page 10) Control Wheels (Page 15) Figure 1 - Front Panel Controls ORB Operating Manual – Issue 1.
Introduction Grand Master and Blackout The GRAND MASTER fader allows you to temporarily limit the output values of all dimmer channels. The Grand Master level is displayed on the monitor screen task bar. In normal operation the Grand Master should be at 100%. The BLACKOUT key enables you to lock the dimmer outputs from the desk at 0%, regardless of the level of the Grand Master fader. Pressing the BLACKOUT key toggles between enabled and disabled.
Introduction Playbacks Playbacks are used as the main programming and playback area of ORB. These playbacks can function in one of two ways – as Cue Lists (also known as Cue Stacks), or as Submasters. The ORB has 10 playbacks, which can be paged between Page 1 and Page 100. Each page contains a new set of 10 playbacks, giving a total of 1000 playbacks available for programming.
Introduction Master Playbacks The master playbacks allow you to control a selected playback using more advanced playback control.: The Select Stack button can be used for selecting a particular cue stack for editing. It is also used with SHIFT to open the Cue Stack Directory Window on the monitor. The Release key can be used to release any of the Playbacks.
Introduction Function Keypad CUE ONLY is used when programming to prevent the changes in a cue applying to later cues. SETUP is used to enter and exit SETUP, and to configure programmed items. UPDATE allows you to merge new information into existing data NAME is used to set a name on any programmed item. DELETE is used to remove programmed items. COPY TO & MOVE TO are used to relocate and copy data from one place to another. TIME and DELAY are used to adjust the fade and delay times.
Introduction Keypads & Syntax Keys The / key is used for separating cue & stack numbers, or fade up/down times. The + and – keys are used for relative adjustment of levels (@+10 ENTER) The syntax keys follow syntax and provide additional functions according to what you’ve entered. The AND key is used for adding items to a list. The THRU key is used for selecting a range of items. The numeric keys (0 - 9) and the point key (.
Introduction User Definable Keys (UDKs) In addition to playbacks, ORB has 10 User Definable Keys (UDKs) which can be assigned to many different functions of the desk. The UDK page can be changed by pressing the UDK PAGE button and entering the required number in syntax (eg UDK PAGE 4 ENTER). The current contents of the UDK are displayed on the LCD display, together with the current page number. Pressing SHIFT and a UDK opens the UDK Window on the monitor to display the contents of the UDKs.
Introduction Attribute & Cursor Keys and Control Wheels The three control wheels are used for setting and adjusting fixture parameter and other data levels. The parameters that are currently assigned to the control wheels are shown on the LCD, together with their current value. The Intensity wheel is used for adjusting the intensity of the currently selected fixture(s). The intensity level is displayed on the LCD screen above the wheel. The MORE key pages the SYNTAX KEYS to display more options.
Quick Start Tutorial Quick Start Tutorial Getting Started Adding Fixtures Prior to powering up the desk, it is essential to attach all the peripherals you require. The desk has support for a USB Keyboard and Mouse, two XGA monitors (or touch screens) and a desk light on 3 pin XLR. These should be connected before powering up, as subsequent connection could result in software or hardware malfunctions.
Quick Start Tutorial Scroll down or use the cursor keys to select the required manufacturer (eg MARTIN). If you have a keyboard connected, you can press the M key to jump straight to manufacturers beginning with M. Press the [Next] button to select the fixture Mode. It is important that the mode set here matches the mode set on the fixture itself – if in doubt, consult the fixture operating manual for full details. Press the [Next] button to move to the next step.
Quick Start Tutorial Figure 12 – Patch Wizard (Step 4 – DMX Address entry) Figure 13 – Patch Wizard (Step 4 – Quantity) Once the address is configured, press the [Next] button and enter the quantity of the fixture required. The monitor screen will tell you the number of fixtures and control channels remaining within its limits, to ensure you do not exceed these limits. The Patch Wizard is now complete and your fixtures have been assigned.
Quick Start Tutorial The main user interface The Output Window is central to the operation the ORB desk. It is recommended that the Output Window is displayed on one of the monitor screens when programming cues, palettes, UDKs etc. The colour coding also helps to see what direction a channel has moved in. The cue stack window shows the selected cue stack and all the cues which that stack contains. The palette windows show the various recorded palettes and can be clicked to access a palette.
Quick Start Tutorial Controlling Dimmers The intensity parameter of fixture(s) can be controlled by entering commands directly via the numeric keypad or by using the corresponding control wheel.
Quick Start Tutorial Controlling Fixtures Selecting Fixtures The corresponding parameters for the fixture are assigned to the control wheels and are indicated on lower part of the touch screen. In the example below, COLOUR has been selected and the fixture parameters Cyan, Magenta and Yellow are assigned to the three control wheels. Fixtures are selected numerically using the number assigned to them during the Patch Wizard. Type the fixture number(s) followed by ENTER to select those fixtures.
Quick Start Tutorial Cues Once you have set up a scene that you like you can then record that into a cue. Selecting a Cue Stack Tagged Untagged Cues can be programmed into any of the 1000 user programmable cue stacks. Press the SELECT button above the cue stack you wish to program in. The LED in the SELECT button illuminates to indicate that it is the active cue stack.
Quick Start Tutorial Adjusting Fade and Delay Times As well as the actual output levels recorded in the cue, each fixture parameter also has it’s own fade and delay times. Default fade and delay times for Intensity, Colour, Beamshape and Position are defined in Desk Setup, and can be adjusted if required, prior to programming cues.
Quick Start Tutorial manipulation of the cue stack and updates can be filtered through entire sequences without having to update each cue individually. Palettes When updating a cue, there are four tracking options available – Track Forward, Track Backward, Track Both or Cue Only. For a full explanation of each of these options, see page 115). The ORB has four sets of 1000 palettes. Selecting Cue Only forces the update only to affect the cue you are updating.
Quick Start Tutorial Recording Palettes Enter the command COLOUR n ENTER Programming a palette is simple and very similar to recording a cue. The fixture(s) will change to the colour they were in when the palette was stored. Set up the fixture outputs as required, ensuring that the correct parameters are tagged.
Quick Start Tutorial User Definable Keys (UDK) Groups The desk provides 10 user definable keys, which can be paged 20 times to give 200 programmable locations. As well as palettes, the ORB provides 1000 user definable Groups. The user definable keys may be assigned to Groups, Individual Fixtures, Palettes, Cues, or channel data. Groups are most commonly used when selecting fixtures and programming data to be recorded in cues, palettes etc. Groups can also be assigned to User Definable Keys (UDKs).
Quick Start Tutorial Group Window Submasters The Group Window is displayed by default in the bottom right hand corner of Monitor 2. This allows you to click and select any of the programmed groups automatically. The ORB has upto 30 submasters, which can be paged 20 times to give upto 600 programmable locations for scenes stored onto faders. Submasters can be accessed either by altering the mode of the playbacks, or by using another DMX enabled desk and using DMX-In.
Quick Start Tutorial Saving Shows The ORB will save the show automatically to its internal memory at regular intervals. Saving the show takes all of the available information in the desk, including monitor configurations, setup options, patch, cue and palette data and stores it all into a single file on your destination device. This file can then be reloaded at a later date to return the desk to the same state as it was in when you saved it.
Quick Start Tutorial Loading Shows Shows can be loaded onto the ORB from a USB Storage Device. • Loading shows is done from within SETUP, so first press SETUP to enter Setup. • Insert or connect the storage medium containing the show. • Press the [Files] key on the monitor. • Press the [Load Show] key to enter the Load Show screen. • Press the Source Device key to select the required device. • A list of show files on the currently selected storage device appears on the touch screen.
Setup Setup In Setup the ORB provides functions for configuring the desk - assigning, patching and editing fixtures, saving and loading shows, clearing show data, resetting the desk etc. Press the SETUP key to display the Setup Window on the monitor. The following Setup options are displayed: Files – this allows you to load and save shows, update fixture libraries and view desk information. (Page 56) Clear Options allows you to delete parts of the programming from a single button.
Setup Patch Add Fixtures The purpose of the Patch area of Setup is to configure the fixtures which are connected to the desk. The first method of adding fixtures is through Add Fixtures. This allows you to detail to the desk how many of each type of fixture are contained within the rig. The default state of ORB gives 96 dimmer channels patched 1:1 on DMX universe 1.
Setup Press the right arrow key to move the cursor to the fixture list in the right hand column. Once the file you want is highlighted, press the [OK] button to load it into the desk. Scroll down or use the cursor keys to select the required fixture type (eg Mac 250 Entour). All the fixture types contained in the selected fixture type file will be loaded and added to the fixture library on the desk.
Setup Patching Fixtures A typical DMX addressing system may work like this: 1 – 96 – Dimmers 1 – 96 After adding the fixtures into the desk, the next step is to patch the fixtures to the DMX outputs. Patching a fixture is the act of defining on the desk which DMX channels the fixture has been set to. Fixtures can be patched individually or in groups.
Setup Patching Fixtures To patch fixtures at a specified DMX start address, enter the fixture number, press the @ key, enter the DMX start address and then press the ENTER key. For example: 1 @ 274 ENTER This will result in the specified fixture being patched to the first DMX universe at address 274.
Setup This will patch the intensities of the six fixtures to DMX channels 101-106 on the currently selected DMX universe. The intensity parameter requires a single DMX channel. Type in the command: 1 THRU 6 {Fixture Part} 107 ENTER This will patch the remaining parameters of the six fixtures to the current DMX universe starting at address 107 on the currently selected universe..
Setup Fixtures View Patch Views This patch view lists all the fixtures in the schedule together with their alignment data and DMX patch address(es). The Patch Window can display the patch data in three different views on the monitor (Outputs, Fixtures and Channels). The default view is the Outputs view (see below). The fixtures are listed in group order. Alignment data is only displayed if it has been changed from the defaults.
Setup Channel View This patch view shows the fixture type, fixture number and parameter (eg Gobo1<>) patched to each DMX address in each of the DMX universes, for example: These channels are paired together internally and processed as a signal control channel. When output, the Least Significant Byte (Fine channel) is faded between 0 and 255, then returned to 0 as the Most Significant Byte (Course) is increased by 1, then the pattern continues.
Setup Patch Wizard The Patch Wizard guides you through the entire patching process, and is a faster way of getting a simple patch up and running than using Add Fixtures and Patching through syntax. However, the Patch Wizard makes the assumption that your rig has been patched sequentially and can be slower for complicated patch entry. To use the Patch Wizard, press the [Patch Wizard] button on the monitor. The Patch Wizard will appear and guide you through adding some fixtures.
Setup Press the [Next] button to select the fixture Mode. It is important that the mode set here matches the mode set on the fixture itself – if in doubt, consult the fixture operating manual for full details. It is important here to ensure that the DMX universe is correctly selected. Figure 31 – Patch Wizard (Step 4 – DMX Address entry) Figure 30 – Patch Wizard (Step 3 – Mode Selection) Once the Mode has been selected, press the [Next] button to move on and enter the DMX address for the fixture.
Setup Figure 32 – Patch Wizard (Step 4 – Quantity) The final step in the Patch Wizard is to assign a fixture number to the fixtures. The fixture number is the number you will refer to the fixture as within the desk software. It is recommended that you take some time thinking about numbering your fixtures. Enter the number and press [Finish]. The Patch Wizard is now complete and your fixtures have been assigned.
Setup Editing Fixtures Edit Fixtures allows you to carry out various functions relating to the fixtures assigned to the desk, including : • Name individual fixtures • Assign user fixture numbers • Edit fixture parameter Default (release) values • Edit fixture parameter Home values • Edit fixture parameter Topset values • Adjust the Pan and Tilt alignment of fixtures • Patch Functions The behaviour of each of these functions is described in this chapter.
Setup Fixture Numbers Each fixture on the desk has its own fixture number, which is the number it will be referred to during programming and on-screen. Initially, these fixture numbers are set to increase sequentially starting from 1 within the their type, eg Dimmers 1 - 48, MAC 700s 1 - 20, MAC 2000s 1 - 20, etc. If you have used the Patch Wizard then you will have already altered these numbers as part of the process. If, however, you have used Add Fixtures then you can alter these numbers if required.
Setup Now, use the arrow keys to move to the required column of the selected fixture and then press the ENTER key. Patch Functions Enter the required value using the external keyboard or numeric keypad on the front panel of the desk, then press ENTER. The Patch functions under Edit Fixtures allow you to patch, repatch and unpatch selected fixtures. This functionality is provided in addition to the command line patching detailed elsewhere in this chapter.
Setup The patch table shows the DMX-In assignment (if assigned) and the DMX address(es) that each of the selected fixtures are currently patched to. If a fixture has not yet been patched to the DMX output then the corresponding DMX column will show ‘Add’. In the example above – Fixture numbers 101 to 105 are patched to DMX universe 2 address 1, 13, 25, 37 and 49 respectively. Repatching Fixtures Move the cursor to the DMX or Duplicate n column for the required fixture and press the ENTER key.
Setup To patch further duplicates for the selected fixture move the cursor to the Duplicate 2 Column, Duplicate 3 column etc and repeat the above procedure.
Setup Clicking on an entry in the DMX In column allows you to change the DMX In address assigned to the corresponding fixture. Auto Menus This Setup option generates automatic items based on the fixture schedule. Auto Groups This function generates a group for each of the types of fixture, plus ‘odd’ and ‘even’ groups for each different fixture type in the desk. Figure 38 - Entering a DMX In Address Press the [Auto Menus] key on monitor in the Patch tab.
Setup Auto Palettes When the [Create Auto Palettes] option is confirmed the desk generates a number of colour, beamshape and position palettes for each moving fixture type in the fixture schedule and a number of standard effects palettes, as described below. Position Palettes The desk generates a single Home Position palette which sets the Pan and Tilt parameters to a value of 50%. Effects Palettes Colour Palettes The desk generates a number of standard effects (see Effects chapter for details).
Setup Desk Setup The Desk Setup function allows you to configure or customise the settings on the desk to your own requirements. The Desk Setup function is divided into a number of different sections which are accessed by pressing the corresponding soft button on the monitor.

Setup Art-Net Art-Net is a lighting protocol which sends DMX data over Ethernet. The standard allows for multiple DMX universes to be sent over a single Ethernet cable. The ZerOS consoles can output upto 4 universes of DMX data via Art-Net. Each Art-Net device needs an IP address starting with a 2.x.x.x or a 10.x.x.x, and this setting must match on the desk itself.
Setup Remote ZerOS Remote offers the ability to remotely control various areas of the desk. The remote uses a standard Windows Mobile or Windows PocketPC application to enable remote control of the console via a wireless network. The ideal setup for this system is as follows: Once connected to the router, look for settings which relate to the wireless connection and to DHCP. Ensure that DHCP is enabled and that the wireless is active.
Setup Light Converse (http://www.lightconverse.net) The Light Converse visualiser uses Art-Net to communicate with the desk software, hence the presence of the visualisation configuration settings in the Art-Net tab of Network Setup. The rules of Art-Net (above) apply when configuring a Light Converse setup. Light Converse integration requires a Zero 88 Light Converse USB dongle, available from Zero 88.
Setup WYSIWYG (http://www.castlighting.
Setup • • In the Device Manager, click CONNECT and the console should connect. You can now use WYSIWYG to visualise your show. When you have finished using it, click DISCONNECT in the Device Manager. Zero Wire Zero Wire DMX is a wireless DMX transmission system from Zero 88. The system can be output directly from the console via the [Network] options in Setup, and can then be routed via a Wireless Access Point to Zero Wire DMX boxes which decode the signal to DMX for linking to fixtures and dimmers, etc.
The Output Window The Output Window The Output Window is central to the programming functionality on the ORB desk. It is recommended (but not mandatory) that the Output Window is displayed on one of the monitor screens when programming cues, palettes etc. To display the Output Window, press the {Show Output Window} syntax key. Values – allows you to select between values, fade, delay and source views Window Setup – allows you to customise the window to your requirements.
The Output Window The Output Window displays the outputs which are coming from all areas of the desk (Programmer, Cue Stacks or UDK’s). The outputs can be viewed as DMX values, Percentage values or parameter Details, and can show Values, Fade or Delay times per channel. Output Window – Values View In the Output Window, when the [Values] option is selected, the fixtures and their parameter values are shown. The currently selected fixtures are highlighted in yellow.
The Output Window the desk. Gaps in numbers are indicated by a vertical line between their channel numbers. Figure 54 - Output Window Setup Details (%) When the [Details (%)] soft button is selected a drop down menu is displayed with the following options: • Percent – When this option is selected all the fixture parameter values are displayed as percentages (ie 0 – 100% for both 8 bit and 16 bit parameters).
Programming Programming This section of the manual covers the basic functionality of programming which involves selecting fixtures, adjusting one or more of their parameters to the required values, and then recording the information into a cue, palette, effect or UDK. Selecting Fixtures Before fixtures can be controlled by the desk they need to be selected. Selected fixtures are shown with Yellow backgrounds in the Output window.
Programming individually (eg each fixture will increase or decrease by a percentage from its original value). Wherever possible the desk will group similar parameters together (eg Cyan, Magenta and Yellow will appear together on the wheels). Note – Intensity on the Wheel Adjustment of colour is by default an Absolute adjustment. The Intensity wheel will always control the selected fixtures intensity.
Programming Tagging Parameters Smart Tags On the ORB desk, fixture parameters must be ‘tagged’ for them to be recorded when programming cues, submasters, palettes and UDK’s. There is a [Smart Tag] button displayed in the Output Window and on the front panel of the desk: The tag status of each fixture parameter is indicated on the LCD screen and in the Output Window by it’s background colour as follows: dark background = untagged; bright background = tagged.
Programming The Command Line RECORD COLOUR n ENTER (Records the colour parameters to the specified palette) All commands (selection commands, intensity commands, wheel movements, manual tagging etc) are recorded and displayed on the command line, found at the bottom of the monitor. RECORD GROUP n ENTER (Records the selected channels into a group) The commands may be undone, one at a time using the backspace key () on the numeric keypad.
Updating Updating Update Options Window After setting up data in the programmer and pressing the UPDATE key, or after loading an item (cue, palette, submaster or UDK) into the programmer, adjusting parameter values or times and pressing the UPDATE key, the Update Options Window is displayed on the touch screen and both monitor screens. The Update Options Window contains a number of soft keys that allow you to select what, how and where the information will be updated.

Press the [OK] button to update the selected source options.
Groups Groups The ORB provides 1000 user definable Groups. Groups are most commonly used when selecting fixtures and programming data to be recorded in cues, palettes etc. Groups can also be assigned to User Definable Keys (UDK). defined groups can be all of the same fixture type or any combination of fixture types. What are Groups? RECORD GROUP n ENTER Groups on ORB are lists of channels which are similar in some way, and are commonly used for speeding up programming.
Groups Moving Groups If you need to re-order your groups, you can Move a group from one location to another. Enter the following command: GROUP n MOVE TO p ENTER Deleting Groups To delete a group, enter one of the following commands: GROUP n DELETE DELETE GROUP n ENTER The desk will ask you to confirm this action before the command is executed. Once deleted, a group cannot be recovered but can be recreated manually if required.
Palettes Palettes The ORB desk provides you with four sets of 1000 palettes. The palettes are stored under the nominal headings of Position, Beam, Colour and Effects. Palettes may contain any combination of Intensity, Colour, Beamshape, Position or Effects parameters. For example, a colour palette may include intensity and colour, a beamshape palette could include beamshape and position etc.
Palettes Updating Palettes It is possible to update palettes in several ways. The first option is to load that palette back into the programmer. Enter the syntax: LOAD COLOUR n ENTER Now make the changes to the palette as required (by adjusting parameters as required) and then press UPDATE.
Palettes DELETE BEAM n ENTER POSITION n DELETE DELETE POSITION n ENTER To delete a range of palettes, enter the following command: DELETE COLOUR a THRU b ENTER When a palette is deleted, any cues that previously referenced the palette are updated to contain the actual values that were stored in the palette. Palette Windows Each set of palettes has it’s own palette window.
Cues, Stacks & Pages Cues, Stacks and Pages The ORB provides a total of 1000 user programmable Cue Stacks. Each of these 1000 cue stacks, can be programmed with up to 999 cues. An entire Cue Stack can be converted to run as a Chase, if required. There are 100 pages of playbacks available. Each page contains 10 playbacks.
Cues, Stacks & Pages To record the tagged parameters into the next available cue on the selected cue stack, simply enter the following command: Naming Cues RECORD ENTER Enter the command CUE n NAME or NAME CUE s/c ENTER. The Edit Cue Name popup is displayed on the touch screen (see below). Type in the required name using the external or on-screen keyboard and then press the [OK] button to complete.

Editing User Definable Keys To edit a UDK enter the following command: LOAD .
Submasters Submasters The ORB desk provides 20 pages of upto 30 Submasters. The number of Submasters per page is configured in the Desk Setup / Inputs area of Setup (see page 53 for more information). Location of Submasters The default location of a submaster is on the DMX-Input. The DMXIn socket on the rear of the desk enables you to input a full universe of DMX (512 channels) and capture these for use in controlling elements of the desk.
Submasters Then enter the following command: RECORD SUB n ENTER Submasters can also be named if required by entering the following command: SUB n NAME {your name} ENTER Playing Back Submasters Submasters are played back using the DMX-Input. The movement of a DMX-In channel from 0% to 100% is equivalent to raising a submaster on the desk.
Submasters A Cue or Channel Data SUB uses the fade times programmed in the cue data (or from the programmer at the time of programming). The times for the cue data can be displayed and edited as required via the Preview Submaster Window or by loading the SUB into the programmer. Note – if you edit the fade times for the cue, this will also affect the output of the cue in the relevant cue stack on the playbacks.
Submasters Fade Times on Submasters Some blurb about fade times on submasters Editing Submasters SUB x MOVE TO y ENTER The submaster will change location automatically.
Effects Effects The ORB desk provides a powerful effects generator with a number of standard effects. By applying various mathematical functions (sine, cosine, ramp etc) to the outputs of different fixture parameters and adjusting the size, speed and offset values, a wide range of movement and other effects can be generated quickly and easily. The Effects Palette Window To display the Effects Palette Window on the monitor, hold down the SHIFT key and then press the EFFECTS key.
Effects Effect Parameters on the Wheels When the effect wheel groups are active (ie the EFFECTS LED is lit), the effect parameters are assigned to the control wheels. If you apply different effects to different parameters of the fixtures (e.g. Rainbow and Circle) you can use the Speed wheel to control the speed of all the effects in one go. The Effects Window The Effects Window displays the Effect Parameters for each parameter of the selected fixture(s).
Effects side of the table and the effect parameters (Function, Speed, Size and Offset) across the top of the table. To adjust an effect parameter, select the required field using the mouse or cursor keys and press the ENTER key. Use the cursor keys to select the required Function, or enter the required numerical value for Speed, Size or Offset, then press the ENTER key. Function – This parameter determines the mathematical function that is applied to the output value of the fixture parameter.
Effects As all palettes (including effects) have the same data structure and may contain fixture parameter data from any combination of attributes, it is also possible to copy palettes from one attribute to another, for example: EFFECTS 2 COPY TO BEAM 5 ENTER Moving Effects To move an effect from one location to another, enter one of the following commands: EFFECTS n MOVE TO p ENTER When an effect is moved to a new location, any cues that referenced the original effect palette will now reference the new lo
Macros Macros The ORB desk provides a number of in-built macros, auto macros and 1000 user programmable macros. The user interface provides mechanisms for recording, naming, running and deleting user definable macros. In Built Macros In Built Macros can be associated with cues and used to trigger various behaviours when altering cue stacks.
Macros The Macro Window contains a soft button for each of the 1000 user programmable macros. Each soft button contains the following information: Macro number (1 – 1000), program status (* = unprogrammed) and name (if defined). Note: The live/blind box on the monitors displays "MACRO" on a light background while the macro is being recorded and reverts back to it's normal live/blind indication on completion of the macro recording. Naming a Macro Each macro can have its own name associated with it.
Macros MACRO n DELETE DELETE MACRO n ENTER To delete a range of macros enter the following command: DELETE MACRO a THRU b ENTER Auto Macros The ORB provides the facility to remotely control fixture parameters using automatic macros. The Macros are stored within the fixture library and allow control of fixture parameters such as Lamp On, Lamp Off, Reset, etc, without needing to find the relevant DMX values on the control channels.
